Answer to Question 1

Deterrence: By observing the punishment dished out to convicted criminals, would-be offenders can see that the pains of punishment outweigh the potential benefits of criminal behavior; the perception of future punishments deters crime. Specific deterrence: Experiencing harsh criminal punishments should convince convicted offenders that crime does not pay and recidivism is not in their best interest; the pains of punishment should inhibit future law violations. Incapacitation: Seeks to reduce or eliminate an offender's opportunity to commit future crimes; involves anticipating behavior patterns. Rehabilitation: Purpose is to reduce future criminality by treating and eliminating the underlying causes of crime; also involves predicting future behavior. Diversion: Aimed at sparing nondangerous offenders from the stigma and labeling of a criminal conviction and involvement with the justice process. Retribution: Criminals deserve to be punished for their criminal acts; if the state did not punish people for their misconduct (retribution), victims would be encouraged to seek personal vengeance for their loss (revenge), creating a chaotic society. Equity/restitution: Demand that criminals reimburse society for its loss caused by their crimes. Restoration: Advocates suggest a policy based on restoring the damage caused by crime and creating a system of justice that includes all the parties harmed by the criminal act: the victim, the offender, the community, and society.

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.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
