A questão tem como base o seguinte texto:
Discurso de Gettysburg
(Abraham Lincoln, 1863 – trecho adaptado e traduzido para acessibilidade)
Há oitenta e sete anos, nossos antepassados criaram neste continente uma nova nação, concebida em liberdade e dedicada ao princípio de que todos os homens são criados iguais.
Estamos agora envolvidos numa grande guerra civil, testando se essa nação, ou qualquer outra assim concebida e dedicada, pode resistir por muito tempo. Estamos reunidos em um grande campo de batalha dessa guerra. Viemos consagrar uma parte desse solo como o repouso final daqueles que aqui deram suas vidas para que a nação pudesse viver. É justo e apropriado que façamos isso.
Mas, em um sentido mais amplo, não podemos consagrar, não podemos santificar, não podemos dedicar este solo. Os bravos homens, vivos e mortos, que aqui lutaram, já o consagraram muito além de nosso pobre poder de acrescentar ou diminuir. O mundo pouco notará, nem se lembrará por muito tempo do que dissermos aqui, mas nunca poderá esquecer o que eles fizeram aqui.
Cabe a nós, os vivos, estarmos aqui dedicados à grande tarefa que ainda permanece diante de nós: que desta terra honrada possamos tirar maior devoção à causa pela qual eles deram a última medida de dedicação; que possamos aqui firmemente resolver que estes mortos não terão morrido em vão; que esta nação, sob Deus, terá um novo nascimento de liberdade; e que o governo do povo, pelo povo e para o povo jamais desaparecerá da face da Terra.
O discurso de Lincoln foi proferido durante a Guerra Civil
dos Estados Unidos. A principal intenção do autor, ao
falar naquele momento, era:

Saber o destino
(Ramires Linhares)
Um dia, Albert Einstein estava viajando de
trem após sair da Universidade de Princeton, e o cobrador entrou no vagão para conferir as passagens. O jovem reconheceu imediatamente o famoso cientista,
que começou a procurar o bilhete nos bolsos do paletó,
da calça, na pequena mala, mas não encontrava.
Percebendo a situação, o cobrador disse com
tranquilidade:
- Dr. Einstein, sei quem o senhor é. Todos aqui
sabem. Tenho certeza de que o senhor comprou a passagem. Não se preocupe.
Einstein agradeceu com um sorriso. O cobrador seguiu adiante, mas antes de sair do vagão, olhou
para trás e viu Einstein ajoelhado, procurando o bilhete
debaixo do assento.
Intrigado, voltou e insistiu:
- Como eu disse, não há problema algum. Sabemos quem o senhor é, fique tranquilo.
Foi então que Einstein respondeu, com toda a
sua genial simplicidade:
- Meu jovem, eu também sei quem eu sou. O
que eu não sei é para onde estou indo. Por isso preciso
encontrar o meu bilhete.
Não há comprovação de que tal história tenha
realmente acontecido, no entanto há uma importante
mensagem nela contida: identidade não substitui direção.
Saber quem você é, seu nome, sua história,
suas conquistas, nada disso garante que você vá ao lugar certo. Reconhecimento, inteligência, status ou talento não dizem nada sobre o rumo da sua vida se você
não tiver clareza de propósito.
Assim a historinha da viagem de Einstein ensina que não basta ser alguém importante; é preciso saber para onde se vai. Que a confiança dos outros em
você não elimina a necessidade de autoconhecimento
e escolha consciente. E que até os mais brilhantes precisam parar, se ajoelhar e conferir o próprio “bilhete”,
que pode ser entendido como os seus valores, metas e
decisões.
Acho que, neste contexto, o verdadeiro risco
não era nem o homem ter perdido o bilhete, era ter seguido uma viagem sem saber o destino.

Here’s One More Reason to Try to Exercise
Next time you’re feeling the burn during a workout, it might
give you a boost to know that exercise can also be a balm: Research
suggests it is one of the best tools for fighting chronic
inflammation.
Inflammation has emerged as a looming health concern in
recent years — experts say it can be both a cause and a sign of
disease. And while there’s still a lot we don’t know about its
significance, most experts agree that the less chronically inflamed
we are, the healthier we are.
The scientific evidence is also clear that people who are
sedentary tend to have higher levels of inflammation compared to
people who exercise regularly. And when sedentary people start
moving consistently, their inflammation levels generally decline.
Some researchers believe that exercise’s power to fight
inflammation may even be at the heart of why physical activity is so
effective at protecting us against cardiovascular disease, diabetes,
dementia and other chronic diseases.
The growing understanding that exercise and inflammation
are linked has been relatively recent, and this has spurred a boom
of research into the connection, said Dr. Robert Shmerling, a rheumatologist and a medical editor at Harvard Health Publishing.
Here’s what we know — and what it means for you.
While inflammation may seem like a menace, it serves a
vital function in keeping you healthy. For example, after a paper cut
or an ankle sprain, immune cells flood the area, which causes the
surrounding tissue to swell and turn red — this kind of acute
inflammation usually resolves in a few days. A similar process
happens when you get an infection, like a cold or the flu.
But chronic inflammation is a low-grade condition that can
simmer for years. It can begin with an infection or injury, but then
morph into a lingering state, in which the immune system starts
attacking healthy tissue, Dr. Shmerling said. Chronic inflammation
can also be linked to diet, stress, smoking, obesity, sleep quality
and your level of physical activity. And it increases as you age (a
process that researchers call “inflammaging”).
Experts suspect this prolonged immune response may put
you at greater risk for disease, and in some cases, make you feel
fatigued, depressed or foggy. A doctor can usually detect chronic
inflammation through blood tests that measure specific chemicals,
or biomarkers, released by your immune system.
Research suggests that consistent, moderate exercise can
fight inflammation by tamping down on the release of
inflammatory chemicals, and ramping up the release of chemicals
that fight it. Exercise can also lower inflammation indirectly, for
example, by improving sleep quality and lowering stress.
For people who are sedentary, exercise is especially
effective at counteracting inflammation, experts said. Certain kinds
of fat cells have been shown to release chemicals into the blood
that cause low-grade inflammation. When someone who has been
sedentary starts working out consistently, not only does their fat
tissue often shrink, but studies also suggest that the physical
activity might alter their fat cells so they produce fewer
inflammatory substances, Dr. Shmerling said.
Regardless, there’s no downside to someone taking up
exercise, Dr. Shmerling added. “They may get healthier in a hurry,
and it might have nothing to do with inflammation,” he said. “The
outcome is still a positive one.”
While research hasn’t yet given us a prescription for exactly
what kind and how much exercise is most effective for fighting
inflammation, experts share tips for making the most of exercise’s
potential impact on it.
Most moderate-intensity exercise seems to reduce
inflammation in the short term, and the more consistently you
work out, the more you keep chronic inflammation at bay, said Suzi
Hong, a professor at the University of California San Diego’s School
of Public Health. Dr. Hong and her team found that a single,
moderate, 20-minute treadmill workout, such as a brisk walk or jog,
sparked a temporary anti-inflammatory response. If you’re
breathing harder than usual to keep up the pace, and you feel like
you’re putting in moderate effort, she said, you’re probably fighting
inflammation. For lasting benefits, though, you have to make it a
habit.
For starters, resistance training helps to reduce
inflammation-causing fat cells, particularly when combined with
regular aerobic exercise. People with chronic inflammation tend to lose muscle mass more rapidly as they age than those with less
inflammation, so strength training may be especially important for
them to remain mobile and independent. The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention recommend that adults make time for at
least two strength-training sessions per week.
Chronic stress is another contributor to inflammation, so
finding a workout you enjoy may offer greater anti-inflammatory
benefits by helping to relieve stress. If you’re looking for a place to
start, a large body of research suggests that yoga can help to calm
the nervous system, lower inflammatory markers and lessen
symptoms of diseases associated with chronic inflammation. Avoid
overtraining, since repeated intense workouts without appropriate
recovery can heighten your levels of inflammation and weaken
your immune system.
As with many other aspects of health, moderation and
consistency are keys to getting and staying fit — and to fighting
inflammation for the long haul.

of research into the connection, said Dr. Robert Shmerling, a rheumatologist and a medical editor at Harvard Health Publishing.
Here’s what we know — and what it means for you.
While inflammation may seem like a menace, it serves a
vital function in keeping you healthy. For example, after a paper cut
or an ankle sprain, immune cells flood the area, which causes the
surrounding tissue to swell and turn red — this kind of acute
inflammation usually resolves in a few days. A similar process
happens when you get an infection, like a cold or the flu.
But chronic inflammation is a low-grade condition that can
simmer for years. It can begin with an infection or injury, but then
morph into a lingering state, in which the immune system starts
attacking healthy tissue, Dr. Shmerling said. Chronic inflammation
can also be linked to diet, stress, smoking, obesity, sleep quality
and your level of physical activity. And it increases as you age (a
process that researchers call “inflammaging”).
Experts suspect this prolonged immune response may put
you at greater risk for disease, and in some cases, make you feel
fatigued, depressed or foggy. A doctor can usually detect chronic
inflammation through blood tests that measure specific chemicals,
or biomarkers, released by your immune system.
Research suggests that consistent, moderate exercise can
fight inflammation by tamping down on the release of
inflammatory chemicals, and ramping up the release of chemicals
that fight it. Exercise can also lower inflammation indirectly, for
example, by improving sleep quality and lowering stress.
For people who are sedentary, exercise is especially
effective at counteracting inflammation, experts said. Certain kinds
of fat cells have been shown to release chemicals into the blood
that cause low-grade inflammation. When someone who has been
sedentary starts working out consistently, not only does their fat
tissue often shrink, but studies also suggest that the physical
activity might alter their fat cells so they produce fewer
inflammatory substances, Dr. Shmerling said.
Regardless, there’s no downside to someone taking up
exercise, Dr. Shmerling added. “They may get healthier in a hurry,
and it might have nothing to do with inflammation,” he said. “The
outcome is still a positive one.”
While research hasn’t yet given us a prescription for exactly
what kind and how much exercise is most effective for fighting
inflammation, experts share tips for making the most of exercise’s
potential impact on it.
Most moderate-intensity exercise seems to reduce
inflammation in the short term, and the more consistently you
work out, the more you keep chronic inflammation at bay, said Suzi
Hong, a professor at the University of California San Diego’s School
of Public Health. Dr. Hong and her team found that a single,
moderate, 20-minute treadmill workout, such as a brisk walk or jog,
sparked a temporary anti-inflammatory response. If you’re
breathing harder than usual to keep up the pace, and you feel like
you’re putting in moderate effort, she said, you’re probably fighting
inflammation. For lasting benefits, though, you have to make it a
habit.
For starters, resistance training helps to reduce
inflammation-causing fat cells, particularly when combined with
regular aerobic exercise. People with chronic inflammation tend to lose muscle mass more rapidly as they age than those with less
inflammation, so strength training may be especially important for
them to remain mobile and independent. The Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention recommend that adults make time for at
least two strength-training sessions per week.
Chronic stress is another contributor to inflammation, so
finding a workout you enjoy may offer greater anti-inflammatory
benefits by helping to relieve stress. If you’re looking for a place to
start, a large body of research suggests that yoga can help to calm
the nervous system, lower inflammatory markers and lessen
symptoms of diseases associated with chronic inflammation. Avoid
overtraining, since repeated intense workouts without appropriate
recovery can heighten your levels of inflammation and weaken
your immune system.
As with many other aspects of health, moderation and
consistency are keys to getting and staying fit — and to fighting
inflammation for the long haul.

Here’s One More Reason to Try to Exercise
Next time you’re feeling the burn during a workout, it might
give you a boost to know that exercise can also be a balm: Research
suggests it is one of the best tools for fighting chronic
inflammation.
Inflammation has emerged as a looming health concern in
recent years — experts say it can be both a cause and a sign of
disease. And while there’s still a lot we don’t know about its
significance, most experts agree that the less chronically inflamed
we are, the healthier we are.
The scientific evidence is also clear that people who are
sedentary tend to have higher levels of inflammation compared to
people who exercise regularly. And when sedentary people start
moving consistently, their inflammation levels generally decline.
Some researchers believe that exercise’s power to fight
inflammation may even be at the heart of why physical activity is so
effective at protecting us against cardiovascular disease, diabetes,
dementia and other chronic diseases.
