Who votes for the Academy Awards?
After the glitzy red-carpet arrivals, the feel-good
montages, and the host’s opening roast, the Oscars
ceremony switches to its raison d’être: revealing the
previous year’s highest achievers in cinema. One after
another, the presenters list the nominees, open a lavish
envelope, and reveal the winner in each category. The
champions breathlessly accept their awards and, over and
over, effusively thank their mothers, God, and the
academy... What is this obscure body? The academy—that
is, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences—is the
organization that votes for the Oscar winners.
The academy is an exclusive Hollywood institution
that has its own governing body, 17 separate branches, and
a thorough rule book on membership eligibility and voting
processes. Since 2016, when the board announced that it
would diversify its membership, the academy has grown to
about 8,000 members. It doesn’t publicize the names of all
those members, but each spring it releases a list of the
individuals it has invited to join its ranks.
The rest of the academy members are not listed,
but we can guess who a few are by looking at some of the
requirements to join the institution. To qualify, an individual
must work in the film industry. This means that neither
individuals who work exclusively in television nor members
of the press may join. Oscar nominees are often considered
for membership automatically, while other candidates must
be sponsored by two active members of the branch they
wish to join. Each branch also has its own specific
requirements.

For decades, it seemed that the purpose of our education system was to
encourage competition. Schools would award prizes to the most talented
student and proudly display their names on bulletin boards. Nowadays, in
many institutions, the key word has become "inclusion": no one should be left
behind. Resources are channeled into helping the east capable; everyone's
work (good or bad) is on the walls; and prize tables are heavily loaded with
awards to make sure everyone is awarded a prize for something. Which
approach is right?
Attempts to make education more inclusive are frequently criticized. Many
point out that once students leave the protective environment of the
classroom, they will face the challenges of the working world: what use will
false reassurance be then? The purpose of school must be to reveal to
people their limitations, so that they can find a vocation that suits them.
In the past, allowing the talented to rise to the top through competition would
certainly have been important. In most factories, it was useful to separate the
potential managers from the unskilled workforce, and companies relied on
finding talented individuals to win business before their competitors did. An
ethos of competition also helped countries to compete effectively with other
nations as they scrambled for territory, raced to accumulate armaments or
even traveled into space ahead of rivals.
But in the 21st century, are we really preparing young people for a world of
competition? The academic James F. Moore argues that the days when
businesses competed with each other are ending. Moore believes we should
talk of "business ecosystems" nowadays. International corporations operate
in global networks of suppliers and partners. Sometimes; even rival
corporations work together. For example: companies often have to
collaborate to define common industry standards.
What's more, hierarchies are disappearing within organizations. Modern
companies have a wider range of business functions (public relations, IT,
research and development), and so skills. Knowledge and decision-making
are spread throughout the organization. In a modern marketing department
alone, there are teams for collecting and analyzing a wealth of customer data,
designing brands, advertising, etc. Each individual contributes vital skills and
must receive equal training. Low-skilled work, by comparison, is increasingly
being performed by automated labor; that is, robots.
But it isn't just in businesses that cooperation is becoming the norm. In the
past, individuals, colleges, governments, and companies didn't have to
collaborate. Now', 'collective impact" is becoming the gold standard. For
example, an anti-obesity project called "Shape Up Somerville" managed to
significantly bring down the average BMI (body mass index) in the town in
just three years, by involving schools, colleges, local businesses, charities,
government, and local citizens in a program of collective action. Led by
academics, and funded by four agencies. The work involved designing
school lunch menus, improving walkways, introducing gym membership
packages, and running campaigns amongst the public.
Competition can still be useful. It's stimulating and can help us learn about
ourselves. But it should not become a dominant feature of education
systems. Those who do not receive investment will find it increasingly hard to
fit into the modern world. It really is learning to take part that counts.

Rising sea levels could severely disrupt crude oil
shipments and erode energy security in import-dependent
countries like China, South Korea and Japan, with many of the
world’s biggest terminals vulnerable to flooding, researchers
said on Tuesday.
Melting ice and swelling seas caused by rising
temperatures could “unleash unstoppable multi-metre sea
level rise which will not only sink key oil ports and disrupt
global oil trade but also swamp coastal refineries and
petrochemical facilities”, the China Water Risk (CWR) think
tank warned in a report.

Change estimated that on current trends, average sea levels
could rise by more than a metre by the end of the century,
adding that a two-metre rise could not be ruled out.

Human rights are rights we have simply because we exist

universal rights are inherent to us all, regardless of nationality,

right to life – to those that make life worth living, such as the
rights to food, education, work, health, and liberty.

The belief that students don’t learn English effectively in public schools can have a great impact on the
emotions, beliefs, and professional identity of Brazilian English teachers. This belief may stem from a
variety of factors, such as limited resources, large class sizes, and inadequate language proficiency among
students. As a result, teachers may experience a range of emotions, including frustration, disappointment,
and a sense of helplessness in their efforts to facilitate language learning in such environments. Emotions
influence beliefs and vice-versa. Understanding this relationship is necessary to offer a more supportive
environment to help teachers to re-signify their beliefs and emotions. Numerous studies have shown that
emotions are also interconnected with various other concepts, including identities and motivations.

Burgeoning online environments offer completely new opportunities for ethnographic and other forms of
qualitative research. Yet there are no clear standards for how we study online texts from an ethnographic
perspective. In this article, we identify barriers to the application of traditional qualitative methods online,
using the example of a systematic thematic analysis of weight-loss blogs. These barriers include the influence
of the technology structuring online content, the fluid nature of online texts such as blogs and the highly
connected and public nature of online identities, which may span multiple social media platforms. We
discuss some potential approaches to addressing these challenges as preliminary steps toward developing
a tool kit suited to ethical, high-quality online modes of ethnographic research.

Discussions around teaching in a culturally sustaining manner in the English language arts classroom,
specifically when teaching literary analysis, often address the need to incorporate multicultural literature
so that students are exposed to stories told from diverse perspectives. However, the reality in many schools
is that teachers do not have ownership over their curriculum in a way that allows them to choose which
texts they should read and study with students. In this context, culturally sustaining teaching presents a
difficult challenge. In this literature review, the author presents classroom strategies that apply a critical
literacy lens to analysis of canonical literature as a way to create a place for culturally sustaining teaching
within a prescribed curriculum.

The abstract excerpt above points to a challenge faced by literature teachers in finding classroom procedures that ensure more culturally sustaining teaching considering limitations imposed by a prescribed curriculum.
In this context, which of the following examples of classes conducted in the scope of literary analysis would align with the approach advocated in the abstract?
