Considere o poema James I, de Rudyard Kipling, para responder à questão.
THE child of Mary Queen of Scots,
A shifty mother’s shiftless son,
Bred up among intrigues and plots,
Learned in all things, wise in none.
Ungainly, babbling, wasteful, weak,
Shrewd, clever, cowardly, pedantic,
The sight of steel would blanch his cheek.
The smell of baccy drive him frantic.
He was the author of his line –
He wrote that witches should be burnt;
He wrote that monarchs were divine,
And left a son who – proved they weren’t!

Is some Olympic commentary sexist?
By Claire Bates, 11 August 2016
According to a recent study by Cambridge University Press. Researchers
analysed millions of words relating to men and women and Olympic sports
in the Cambridge English Corpus (CEC) and the Sport Corpus - massive
databases that include news articles and posts on social media.
The study revealed common word combinations for female athletes
included aged, older, pregnant and married or unmarried. In contrast, top
word combinations for male athletes included fastest, strong, big and great.
It also found that the language around women in sport also focussed
disproportionately on appearance, clothes and personal lives.
It’s not just language where there is a difference in attitude - female Olympic
athletes are still garnering far fewer column inches and given less TV airtime
than their male counterparts. Researchers found men were mentioned twice as
often in the CEC and three times more often in the Sports Corpus.
However, some things are changing. The proportion of female athletes
competing at the Olympics has increased with every games since 1964 when
it was 13.2%. By 1988, 26.1% of competitors were women and in Rio 2016 it
is 45%.

Economic Recession Has Impact on
Museums And Cultural Centres
SILAS MARTÍ - 03/22/2016
Long gone is the golden age of blockbuster exhibitions that marked the past
few years of Brazil’s cultural scene. The country’s museums have maintained
an ominous silence in relation to their plans for this year of recession. This is
not owing to any desire for secrecy, but rather due to the dominating sense of
uncertainty. For many months, the economic crisis has been quietly gnawing
away at cultural institutions, resulting in devastating staff cuts in almost all of
the country’s museums. However, it is only now that the effects of the downturn
are rearing their ugly head in the public eye, with the start of what ought to be
the exhibition season with the arrival of the São Paulo art fair in two weeks time.

Civil societies can only thrive when damaging stereotypes are broken down. The difficulty is that stereotypes are sometimes hard to recognize because they are fixed beliefs. Learning to identify stereotypes is one of the first steps we must take to build a civil society. All of us face peer pressure when confronted with a joke which puts down a certain minority. It takes courage to raise objections to these jokes and pejorative names and to actively fight the prejudice and bigotry which they foster. It is important to stand up against injustice, and fight the discrimination, stereotypes, and scapegoating which have served as the precursors to persecution, violence, and genocide. After identifying stereotypes, we can work toward eliminating them from society. When stereotypes are eliminated, it will be easier to acknowledge and appreciate individual differences. When we live in a society that is open to cultural diversity and that values the contributions of all society members – regardless of cultural and ethnic backgrounds, race, life styles, and belief – we will be one step closer to living in a civil society.

[...] Black Friday, which has traditionally been the moment to flock to stores for steep discounts, and which has
evolved to also include major online sales events for retailers like Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart, is not all that it is
billed to be. We asked J. D. Levite, the deals editor of the product recommendations website The Wirecutter, for some
data on just how beneficial the deals are on Black Friday – and the answer was not encouraging.
Year round, Mr. Levite and his team track product prices across the web to unearth discounts on goods of all
types, from gadgets to kitchenware. They also look at whether the product is high quality and durable based on their
own testing and other reviews, and whether the seller or brand has a reasonable return or warranty policy. By those
measures, Mr. Levite said, only about 0.6 percent, or 200 out of the approximately 34,000 deals online, which typically
carry the same price tags inside retailers’ physical stores, will be good ones on Black Friday. “There are just more deals
on that day than any other day of the year,” he said. “But for the most part, the deals aren’t anything better than what
you’d see throughout the rest of the year.” [...]

SODA’S NEW THREAT
Sure, soda can rot your teeth and make you fat, but that’s not all. Sugary drinks may increase your risk of heart
disease, especially if you’re a heavy guy, say scientists from the University of California at Davis. In the study,
overweight people who drank a fructose-sweetened beverage with a meal saw their triglyceride levels spike three
times as high over 24 hours than people who drank a glucose-sweetened beverage. Triglycerides are fats in your
blood, and high levels are thought to boost heart-disease risk. Your liver converts fructose to triglycerides, causing the
spike, says study author Karen Teff, Ph.D. Most fruit juices also contains fructose, so dilute apple juice with equal parts
water.

Technology plays a key role in teenage romance from initial encounters to eventual break-ups, says a US
study.
Teenagers rarely meet online but do use technology for flirting, asking out, meeting up and parting, American think
tank, the Pew Research Center, found. A survey of 1,060 US teenagers aged 13 to 17 revealed that technology brings
them closer but also breeds jealousy. "Digital platforms are powerful tools for teens," said Amanda Lenhart, lead author
of the report from Pew. "But even as teens enjoy greater closeness with partners and a chance to display their
relationships for others to see, mobile and social media can also be tools for jealousy, meddling and even troubling
behaviour."
Digital romance, broken down
Of the 1,060 teenagers surveyed: • 35% said they were currently dating and 59% of that group said technology made
them feel closer to their partner • For boys who were dating, 65% said social media made them more connected to a
significant other while it was 52% for girls • 27% of dating teenagers thought social media made them feel jealous or
insecure in relationships • 50% of all teens surveyed, dating or not, said they had indicated interest by friending
someone on Facebook or other social media and 47% expressed attraction by likes and comments • Texting is king -
92% of teens who were dating said they texted a partner, assuming the partner would check in with "great regularity" •
Jealousy happens, but not as much as flirting does - 11% of teenage daters reported accessing a partner's online
accounts and 16% reported having a partner asking them to de-friend someone What gets discussed during all those
frequent social media enabled check-ins? According to the survey, it is mostly "funny stuff" followed by "things you're
thinking about" as well as other information such as where they are and what their friends have been doing. And forget
having to meet up to resolve a conflict - 48% of dating teenagers said that could be done by texting or talking online.
Online tools, with their accessibility and ease of use, also showed some signs of giving this group relationship anxiety.
Females are more likely to be subject to unwanted flirting and 25% of teenagers surveyed said they have blocked or
unfriended someone because of uncomfortable flirting. And 15% of teenage daters said a partner had used the internet
to pressure them into unwanted sexual activity.
'More than emojis'
Nearly half the respondents admitted to concentrating on their phone ahead of their partner when together with 43% of
dating teens saying that had happened to them. "I don't think this survey reveals much that is surprising. But it is
affirming. Humans are social animals and we build tools to connect with each other,"wrote Julie Beck, an associate
editor at The Atlantic news site, of the survey's findings. "It's not all heart emojis all the time, no, but the tools that
facilitate relationships facilitate all aspects of them, good and bad. "Connecting with others is scary, hard, sometimes
dangerous, but usually, hopefully, good. The teens get it."
