Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Laws regarding marriage and family in the United States have changed considerably
through the decades. Early law had its basis in English common law, which was property
based and patriarchal. Men generally received the most privilege in the law, and women
and children had quite restricted privileges. Women and children were largely viewed as
property of the husband, and the father had quite specific obligations for family support.
The law was designed to make divorce difficult to acquire, women had few rights for
custody of children and alimony, and were largely subordinate to their husband.
As industrialization developed, women acquired more instrumental roles in the workplace,
and consequently they acquired more power and privilege in family relationships. Family
law changed as it adapted to the shifts in status and role, and became more equalitarian in
protecting women's rights. No-fault divorce evolved, women were granted more privileges
for custody of children and child support, inheritance laws guaranteed support obligations
for children, and third party rights of stepparents and relatives were formulated.
Most family law (and change in family law) is in the state domain, with considerable
variation from state to state. Significant change has occurred through the decades, as
change in social behavior has created new legal questions for the courts to resolve. The
areas of greatest current concern revolve around non-traditional partnerships, child support
and adoption, and assisted reproduction. There does not appear to be any major issues that
prevent revision of the laws, and states need to take the initiative. Reform could
accomplish so much, and still be relatively simple.

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.
