Answer to Question 1

There is little support for Freuds belief that conflicts that occur during the oral and anal stages result in specific personality traits. The struggle between the id and the superego is also no longer considered valid. The strongest criticism is that psychoanalytic theory cannot be proven through controlled scientific research.

Answer to Question 2

In the preschool and early school-age period, children consider rules to be whatever powerful authority figures determine and that they are not to be changed. By age 7 or 8 they often interact with their peers in a give-and-take manner. They change their ideas about authority, recognizing that punishment may be fair or unfair. By age 11 or 12, they are more flexible, change rules, and discuss moral issues.

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.
