There are many ways for dioxin, the toxic contaminant in Agent Orange, to enter the human body. To estimate the number of Vietnamese who have been impacted by Agent Orange, it is necessary to separate the exposure into three modalities. First is the past direct exposure to the poison in wartime. Second are those who may have been exposed to dioxin during or immediately following wartime through the contaminated soil or consumption of contaminated fish and animals. Third are those who are currently being exposed to the dioxin contaminant that remains in the soil. In addition, there are those in the second and even third generations who were not directly exposed but are potentially being impacted due to their parent’s or grandparent’s exposure. The population of South Viet Nam during the years of herbicide spraying was approximately 18 million. Jeanne stellman and her colleagues at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health estimated that up to 4.5 million Vietnamese were living in the 3,181 villages that were directly in the spray paths and were potentially exposed to the dioxin. In addition, approximately a million more soldiers who were fighting in southern Viet Nam during the war were potentially exposed as they traveled through the sprayed areas. Unfortunately, there are not any firm figures for the number of adults who suffer from or have already died from illnesses associated with exposure to Agent Orange. We also do not know for sure how many children and youth have disabilities that may be attributed to their parents’ or grandparents’ exposure to the herbicides. (Excerpted from Agent Orange Record)

Read the passage and decide whether the statements are True (T) or False (F).

While it has long been assumed that giving also leads to greater happiness this has only recently started to be scientifically proven. For example, when participants in a study did five new acts of kindness on one day per week over a six-week period (even if each act was small) they experienced an increase in well-being, compared to control groups. In another study, participants who were given $5 or $20 to spend on others or donate to charity experienced greater happiness than people given the same amount to spend on themselves. Interestingly the amount of money did not affect the level of happiness generated. And there is now evidence that this leads to a virtuous circle - happiness makes US give more, and giving makes US happier, which leads to a greater tendency to give and so on. This effect is consistent across different cultures. It makes sense that helping others contributes to our own happiness. Scientists are reconsidering the idea of the ‘selfish gene’ and are exploring the evolution of altruism, cooperation, compassion and kindness. Human beings are highly social creatures and have evolved as a species living with others. If people are altruistic, they are more likely to be liked and so build social connections and stronger and more supportive social networks, which leads to increased feelings of happiness and wellbeing. Indeed participating in shared tasks like community service, and other social activities, predicts how satisfied people are even after other factors are taken into account.
