Answer to Question 1

Answer: pessimistic

Answer to Question 2

Answer: One of the characteristics of depression is hopelessness. A logical hypothesis is that the hopelessness is a partial cause of the depression. From the perspective of this theory, according to Abramson and Seligman, one comes to feel helpless in the face of negative events and comes to believe that there is no way to control these events. A person comes to believe that they will be helpless in the future, also, which leads to giving up hope, as well as apathy and sadness. With these symptoms, a person is very likely to be diagnosed as depressed. Hopelessness depression, like other kinds of depression, alters a persons basic motivation. They become passive, feel sad, and have lowered self-esteem.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
