      Apesar de ser ainda pouco conhecido, o termo nomofobia remete ____ ansiedade gerada pela falta do celular. Em outras palavras, também pode ser definido como um sintoma da ausência dos smartphones.

    “Os dados mostram que os latino-americanos estão cada vez mais dependentes dos seus celulares, o que é preocupante devido às implicações psicológicas e físicas que isso tem nas populações”, disse Patrick O’Neill, criador do portal nomophobia.com e do termo que foi cunhado em 2008.

   O uso de smartphones tem aumentado constantemente no Brasil, com 71% dos entrevistados relatando possuir um smartphone, enquanto 27% afirmam ter dois. Para 79%, o celular não era utilizado para os mesmos fins _____ cinco anos, o que reflete a constante evolução da tecnologia, que trouxe inúmeras possibilidades de uso.

   Para 85% dos brasileiros, os telefones celulares facilitam as transações financeiras por meio de pagamentos móveis. Além disso, 70% utilizam o aparelho para entretenimento, como ouvir música, assistir a filmes e jogar, enquanto 57% relatam que ele contribui para a educação ao proporcionar ensino _____ distância.

Realities of Race, by Mike Peed  


        What’s the difference between an African-American and an American-African? From such a distinction springs a deep-seated discussion of race in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s third novel, “Americanah.” Adichie, born in Nigeria but now living both in her homeland and in the United States, is an extraordinarily self-aware thinker and writer, possessing the abil ity to lambaste society without sneering or patronizing or polemicizing. For her, it seems no great feat to balance high literary intentions with broad social critique. “Americanah” examines blackness in America, Nigeria and Britain, but it’s also a steady-handed dissection of the universal human experience — a platitude made fresh by the accuracy of Adichie’s obser vations. […]


        “Americanah” tells the story of a smart, strong-willed Nigerian woman named Ifemelu who, after she leaves Africa for America, endures several harrowing years of near destitution before graduating from college, starting a blog entitled “Raceteenth or Various Observations About American Blacks (Those Formerly Known as Negroes) by a Non-American Black” and winning a fellowship at Princeton (as Adichie once did; she has acknowledged that many of Ifemelu’s experiences are her own). Ever hovering in Ifemelu’s thoughts is her high school boyfriend, Obinze, an equally intelligent if gentler, more self-effacing Nigerian, who outstays his visa and takes illegal jobs in London. (When Obinze trips and falls to the ground, a co-worker shouts, “His knee is bad because he’s a knee-grow!”)


        Ifemelu and Obinze represent a new kind of immigrant, “raised well fed and watered but mired in dissatisfaction.” They aren’t fleeing war or starvation but “the oppressive lethargy of choicelessness.” Where Obinze fails — soon enough, he is deported — Ifemelu thrives, in part because she seeks authenticity. […]


         Early on, a horrific event leaves Ifemelu reeling, and years later, when she returns to Nigeria, she’s still haunted by it. Meantime, back in Lagos, Obinze has found wealth as a property developer. Though the book threatens to morph into a simple story of their reunion, it stretches into a scalding assessment of Nigeria, a country too proud to have patience for “Americanahs” — big shots who return from abroad to belittle their countrymen — and yet one that, sometimes unwitting ly, endorses foreign values. (Of the winter scenery in a school’s Christmas pageant, a parent asks, “Are they teaching chil dren that a Christmas is not a real Christmas unless snow falls like it does abroad?”)


        “Americanah” is witheringly trenchant and hugely empathetic, both worldly and geographically precise, a novel that holds the discomfiting realities of our times fearlessly before us. It never feels false.


(Adapted from: https://www.nytimes.com/2013/06/09/books/review/americanah-by-chimamanda-ngozi-adichie.html)

According to Peed’s book review “Realities of Race” write true ( T ) or false ( F ) in the following sentences:



( ) Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie uses the distinction between “African-American” and “American-African” to promote a thorough discussion of racial issues in her work Americanah.


( ) The author is described as a highly self-aware thinker and writer, capable of criticizing society through disdain and ag gression.


( ) Adichie's book does not aim to make social critiques; instead, it focuses solely on literary analysis and the construction of a fictional narrative.


( ) Americanah examines “blackness” in the United States, Nigeria, and Great Britain, proposing a reflection on the univer sal human experience.


( ) The author successfully balances her literary intentions with a comprehensive social critique, making her observations about reality more relevant and accurate.

        "Schön’s work has restructured how professionals conceive their practice and how they go about learning from ex perience. At the very heart of Schön’s theory lies reflection in action; that is, professionals are supposed to learn, not just to reflect after the fact but amidst action. Indeed, this approach to learning and professional development has been a central cornerstone of the training and education of practitioners across many fields. Schön defines reflection as the ability of pro fessionals to examine their actions and decisions to understand and practice with effectiveness better. The theorist is based on two major types of reflection: reflection in action and reflection on action”.

Teachers in the Movement: Pedagogy, Activism, and Freedom 


        In this year's Presidential Address, historian Derrick P. Alridge __________ his current research project, Teachers in the Movement: Pedagogy, Activism, and Freedom. The project builds on recent literature about teachers as activists be tween 1950 and 1980 and explores how and what secondary and postsecondary teachers taught. Focusing on teachers in Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, the project investigates teachers' roles as agents of social change through teaching the ideals of freedom during the most significant social movement in the United States in the twentieth century. Drawing on oral history and archival research, the project plans to produce five hundred videotaped interviews that will generate extensive firsthand knowledge and fresh perspectives about teachers in the civil rights move ment. By examining teachers' pedagogical activism during this period of rapid social change, Alridge hopes to inspire and inform educators teaching in the midst of today's freedom and social justice movements.

The project builds on recent literature about teachers as activists be tween 1950 and 1980 and explores how and what secondary and postsecondary teachers taught. Focusing on teachers in Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia, the project investigates teachers' roles as agents of social change through teaching the ideals of freedom during the most significant social movement in the United States in the twentieth century. Drawing on oral history and archival research, the project plans to produce five hundred videotaped interviews that will generate extensive firsthand knowledge and fresh perspectives about teachers in the civil rights move ment. By examining teachers' pedagogical activism during this period of rapid social change, Alridge hopes to inspire and inform educators teaching in the midst of today's freedom and social justice movements.
