Question 2

When Jack Whittaker won over 300 million in a Powerball jackpot, many people thought his life would be transformed for the better. Within a few years, he was divorced, had lost his granddaughter to a drug overdose, was robbed outside a strip club, had lawsuits brought against him for sexual harassment, and encountered numerous other well-publicized problems. Based on the idea of the hedonic treadmill, how would you interpret this?
 
  a. Whittaker's life had been plagued with problems before his win and, after a period of positive events, it simply returned to its usual state.
  b. Whittaker was surrounded by negative people who, as a result of his win, tried to derail his happiness.
  c. Whittaker was only happy when his life was chaotic, so he deliberately sabotaged his own good fortune.
  d. Whittaker was very happy prior to the lottery win and, when winning did not make him even happier, he became depressed.

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.
