O peso sobre a Geração Sanduíche, que cuida ao mesmo tempo de pais idosos, filhos e netos
Faz dez anos que a paranaense Lady Daiane de Vargas Flores cuida em tempo integral da mãe, que sofre de demência. Dona Maria Joana tem 68 anos e já não fala, não anda nem se alimenta sozinha.
“Ela virou um bebê total”, explica Daiane, 39 anos, à BBC News Brasil [...]. “Quando você vai ganhar um bebê, quer que a sua mãe esteja ao seu lado. Mas, comigo, o que aconteceu é que virei órfã de mãe e passei a ter uma filha a mais.”
[...]
Nos Estados Unidos, por exemplo, uma pesquisa do centro Pew estimou que quase um em cada quatro adultos americanos potencialmente se encaixa nessa definição [...]. Dados da Pesquisa Nacional por Amostras de Domicílio Contínua (Pnad Contínua) do IBGE em 2019 apontam que 54,1 milhões de brasileiros com 14 anos ou mais cuidavam de outros moradores da sua casa ou de outros parentes, mas não se sabe ao certo quantos cuidam de duas gerações ao mesmo tempo [...]. Há uma combinação de motivos por trás desse fenômeno global: como as pessoas estão tendo filhos mais tarde, e seus pais estão vivendo mais, muitas se veem lidando com os cuidados das duas gerações. Ao mesmo tempo, as famílias ficaram menores — e há menos pessoas com as quais dividir essas tarefas.

Quando a proteção desprotege as mulheres
Projeto de lei pode fazer com que as mulheres passem a ser consideradas como contratações de risco
Por José Pastore
Com frequência, os legisladores, com a boa intenção de proteger as mulheres e conquistar o seu voto, acabam criando tantas dificuldades que o resultado final é uma verdadeira desproteção. Esse é o espírito do Projeto de Lei 1.558/2021 da Câmara dos Deputados que busca igualar o salário das mulheres ao dos homens. O projeto impõe ao empregador multa em favor da empregada no valor de cinco vezes a diferença verificada entre o seu salário e o dos empregados na mesma função durante todo o período de contratação. Isso vai causar uma verdadeira explosão de ações trabalhistas.
Atentem bem para a insegurança jurídica aqui embutida. Digamos que uma mulher, gerente de banco em uma pequena agência do interior ganhe menos do que seu colega que é gerente de uma grande agência numa região metropolitana. O nome da função é o mesmo. A empresa também é a mesma. Mas as responsabilidades são completamente diferentes. O projeto de lei não leva isso em conta, mas o mercado de trabalho considera muito a complexidade da função para definir a remuneração.
É evidente que a nova regra, se aprovada, vai provocar mais conflitos, mais despesas e mais desgastes emocionais. Não sei se os parlamentares avaliaram bem o valor da multa. Dou um exemplo para mostrar a extravagância. Para uma gerente que ganhe R$ 4 mil mensais e para a qual o auditor fiscal ou o juiz fixe o percentual de 30% referente à alegada diferença de remuneração ao longo de cinco anos de trabalho na empresa, o valor da multa chegará a R$ 520 mil. Se a funcionária tiver 20 anos na empresa, a multa ultrapassará os R$ 2 milhões, mais a correção dos débitos trabalhistas.
Está aí um irrecusável convite para judicializar o assunto e abalar a saúde financeira das empresas, pois nenhuma delas fez provisão desses montantes quando contrataram as referidas funcionárias, uma vez que essa regra não existia. Se esse projeto virar lei, temo que as mulheres passem a ser consideradas como contratações de risco, o que poderá levar os empregadores a evitá-las. Todos sairão perdendo.

Strategy I
In Eating Mindfully, Susan Albers recommends starting with one mealtime: breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Choose a specific location to eat, such as your table or the lunchroom at work. Sit quietly. Don't get up, and don't answer the phone. Have all the food you intend to eat on the table in front of you before starting. To be mindful you must give your full attention to your eating. You must focus on the process of eating and enjoying your meal.
Strategy II
Susan Albers suggests that one way to slow down the process of eating is to challenge the way you have always done it.
For example, try eating using a pair of chopsticks instead of your customary utensils. This will force you to take smaller portions, eat more slowly, and look at your food more closely. Other strategies include eating with your non-dominant hand, chewing your food 30 to 50 times per bite, or trying to make the portion of food you've taken for the meal last 20 minutes.
Observe the sensation of picking up the food and placing it in your mouth.

Africa's Greatest Freedom Symbol
Son of a chief, Nelson Mandela studied law and became one of South Africa's first black lawyers. Early in the 1950s he was elected leader of the youth wing of the ANC (African National Congress) liberation movement. When the country's white minority government prohibited the ANC in 1960, Mandela became convinced that armed struggle was inevitable. Inspired by the guerrilla wars in Algeria and Cuba, he organized a military underground movement that engaged in sabotage. In 1962 he was arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment for high treason and conspiracy against the state.
From 1964 to 1982 he was confined to the notorious prison island Robben Island, together with several other resistance leaders. He was then moved to prison on the mainland until his release in 1990. During his imprisonment, Mandela became a rallying point for South Africa's oppressed, and the world's most famous political prisoner.
Nelson Mandela shared the Peace Prize with the man who had released him, President Frederik Willem de Klerk, because they had agreed on a peaceful transition to majority rule.

The big idea: why we need a new definition of junk food
Ultra-processed products now make up 60% of our diet – and they’re killing us
Strange as it may seem, food has replaced tobacco as the leading cause of early death globally. Each year,more people die in America from illnesses caused by poor diet than were killed fighting in every war in US history combined. In the UK the situation is equally 1. dire. Officially, the health effects of food are entirely due to its nutritional content – the amount of fat, salt, sugar and fibre it contains. The current system leaves it up to you to read the detailed information on the pack and decide how much to eat based on recommended values, and if you have children, you’ll need to know the values for them too. This is nigh-on impossible for most people – but even if you were able to calculate exactly how much fat, salt and sugar you were consuming in each 2. mouthful, you would still be neglecting one vital determinant of health – how the food was processed. You might feel like you’ve heard all this before. People have expressed concern about “processed food” for a long time, but it’s not always been an easy concept to 3. pin down. After all, we have been processing food for hundreds of thousands of years. The human diet was invented by primarily female domestic scientists who modified plants and animals by milling, shaking, pounding and grinding them, or altering them via fermentation and heat, before salting, smoking and drying them for preservation. Food processing has shaped almost every aspect of our bodies: we have the shortest guts of any animal our size because part of their job is outsourced to our kitchens. We are the only animal that must process its food to survive. Processing is fine.
But just over a decade ago a team of scientists in Brazil noticed a 4. paradox in the data from their national nutrition surveys. Obesity had gone from being rare, to being the country’s dominant public health problem – even though people were buying less oil and sugar. What theywere eating more of was industrially processed food: biscuits, emulsified breads, confectionary and so on. The team developed a definition that distinguished between traditional food, whole or processed, and these items, which they termed ultra processed foods, or UPFs for short.

What is mindful eating?
Mindfulness is the practice of being present in the moment, and observing the inputs flooding your senses. At meal time: "Think about how the food looks, how it tastes and smells. What's the texture? What memories does it bring up? How does it make you feel?" Burton Murray asks. By being mindful at meals, you'll slow the eating process, pay more attention to your body's hunger and fullness cues, and perhaps avoid overeating. "It makes you take a step back and make decisions about what you're eating, rather than just going through the automatic process of see food, take food, eat food," Burton Murray says.
Set yourself up for success in being mindful when you eat by: Removing distractions. Turn off phones, TVs, and computers. Eat in a peaceful, uncluttered space.
Pacing yourself for a 20-minute meal. Chew your food slowly and put your fork down between bites.

The new phone call etiquette
Phone calls have been around for 147 years, the
iPhone 16 years and FaceTime video voice mails about a
week. Not surprisingly, how we make calls has changed
drastically alongside advances in technology. Now people
can have conversations in public on their smartwatches, see
voice mails transcribed in real time and dial internationally
midday without stressing about the cost.
The phone norms also change quickly, causing some
people to feel left behind or confused. The unwritten rules
of chatting on the phone differ wildly between generations,
leading to misunderstandings and frustration on all sides.
We spoke to an etiquette expert and people of all
ages about their own phone pet peeves to come up with the
following guidance to help everyone navigate phone calls in
2023. These will vary depending on your relationship, your
age and the context of the call. The closer you are to
someone, the less the rules apply. Go ahead, FaceTime your
mom with no warning while brushing your teeth.
Tips to help you be a better phone caller:
Voice mails are an artifact of the days before text
messages. If you have information that needs to be
communicated in an accurate, timely manner, you’re far
better off putting it into writing as a text or email.
The exceptions for the no-voice-mail rule are calling
people who would love to hear your voice no matter what
you’re saying, or sharing some kind of audio experience.
Think besties and immediate family members singing happy
birthday, a dispatch from friends at a Taylor Swift concert or
a simple “I love you.”
If you have a long juicy story you want to tell,
consider sending it in a voice memo instead. It’s the best
medium for a monologue.
Calling someone without warning can feel stressful to
the recipient. Instead, text them ahead of time to ask if
they’re free to talk now, if they can you call when they’re
free, or if they can pick a time they’d like to chat. If it’s
someone you call regularly, find out what their ideal times
are, like after work or only on Sunday afternoons.
Wording and context are key for these pre-call texts.
A simple “call me” text can feel urgent and make someone
think there’s an emergency. Clarify if it’s urgent or just to
catch-up. If it’s about a specific topic, mention it in the text
what it is you’d like to talk about so they can be prepared.
These steps are especially necessary for video calls.
Catching someone on video at an unexpected time can be
embarrassing for all involved. You should almost never start
a FaceTime or other video call without warning.
You don’t need to answer the phone. The
responsibility isn’t only on the person dialing. Just because
someone is calling you out of the blue does not mean you
have to pick up. If you’re in a restaurant, using the bathroom
or in a meeting, mute the call and get back to them at a
convenient time. “We all have control of our phones and can
decide if it’s the right time to answer it,” said Lizzie Post,
etiquette expert and co-president at the Emily Post Institute.
To be even more polite, send them a text.
Smartphones will let you send an automated text response
when you can’t answer.
Many things don’t need to be a phone call at all.
When you’re trying to decide on the best method of
communication, consider what it is you want to say.
Anything requiring nuance like opinions or emotional
matters are best done over the phone, including arguments,
catching up or connecting on a personal level. Factual
updates, coordinating plans or anything that is more cut and
dried often work best in writing. If something is complicated
and will drag on too long as a text chain, go ahead and ask if
they can talk.
“Nobody has a good fight via text message,” says
Post. “I get that sometimes it feels better to fight via text
because you’re not actually confronting the person, but you
get through it a lot faster on the phone.”
If someone doesn’t answer your call, do not hang up
and immediately call them again.
If they have not responded
to your text about the call they missed, do not send them an
email about it. If it is an emergency, clearly state that right
away in a text message.
Voice mails are dead. Long live the video voice mail.
Apple recently introduced a new feature in its iOS 17 update
that lets you leave a video message when someone doesn’t
answer your FaceTime call. It’s silly and fun and should be
used that way, but keep in mind not everyone will find them
delightful.
It’s generally considered bad form to use
speakerphone in public. Whether it’s a regular call, video call
or smartwatch call, use headphones or save it for later.
Headphones only solve half of the problem, however, as
people still have to hear your side of the conversation. If
you’re in a crowded area, like an office or store, be aware of
other people’s personal space and your own volume.
Video calls in public are also a sensitive issue. There
are strangers around you who did not consent to being on
camera, and they might also see something they’re not
supposed to on your screen. Frame your shots accordingly.
Phone calls aren’t dead! While hopping on the phone may
be less common or involve more planning than it used to,
it’s still a wonderful way to communicate. Talking to a
person in real time can strengthen relationships, improve
mental health and lessen loneliness.
Adapted from: https://www.washingtonpost.com/2023/09/25/
The author argues that among all forms of phone
communication, the one that can be a frequent cause of
embarrassment to the individuals involved is

The new phone call etiquette
Phone calls have been around for 147 years, the
iPhone 16 years and FaceTime video voice mails about a
week. Not surprisingly, how we make calls has changed
drastically alongside advances in technology. Now people
can have conversations in public on their smartwatches, see
voice mails transcribed in real time and dial internationally
midday without stressing about the cost.
The phone norms also change quickly, causing some
people to feel left behind or confused. The unwritten rules
of chatting on the phone differ wildly between generations,
leading to misunderstandings and frustration on all sides.
We spoke to an etiquette expert and people of all
ages about their own phone pet peeves to come up with the
following guidance to help everyone navigate phone calls in
2023. These will vary depending on your relationship, your
age and the context of the call. The closer you are to
someone, the less the rules apply. Go ahead, FaceTime your
mom with no warning while brushing your teeth.
Tips to help you be a better phone caller:
Voice mails are an artifact of the days before text
messages. If you have information that needs to be
communicated in an accurate, timely manner, you’re far
better off putting it into writing as a text or email.
The exceptions for the no-voice-mail rule are calling
people who would love to hear your voice no matter what
you’re saying, or sharing some kind of audio experience.
Think besties and immediate family members singing happy
birthday, a dispatch from friends at a Taylor Swift concert or
a simple “I love you.”
If you have a long juicy story you want to tell,
consider sending it in a voice memo instead. It’s the best
medium for a monologue.
Calling someone without warning can feel stressful to
the recipient. Instead, text them ahead of time to ask if
they’re free to talk now, if they can you call when they’re
free, or if they can pick a time they’d like to chat. If it’s
someone you call regularly, find out what their ideal times
are, like after work or only on Sunday afternoons.
Wording and context are key for these pre-call texts.
A simple “call me” text can feel urgent and make someone
think there’s an emergency. Clarify if it’s urgent or just to
catch-up. If it’s about a specific topic, mention it in the text
what it is you’d like to talk about so they can be prepared.
These steps are especially necessary for video calls.
Catching someone on video at an unexpected time can be
embarrassing for all involved. You should almost never start
a FaceTime or other video call without warning.
You don’t need to answer the phone. The
responsibility isn’t only on the person dialing. Just because
someone is calling you out of the blue does not mean you
have to pick up. If you’re in a restaurant, using the bathroom
or in a meeting, mute the call and get back to them at a
convenient time. “We all have control of our phones and can
decide if it’s the right time to answer it,” said Lizzie Post,
etiquette expert and co-president at the Emily Post Institute.
To be even more polite, send them a text.
Smartphones will let you send an automated text response
when you can’t answer.
Many things don’t need to be a phone call at all.
When you’re trying to decide on the best method of
communication, consider what it is you want to say.
Anything requiring nuance like opinions or emotional
matters are best done over the phone, including arguments,
catching up or connecting on a personal level. Factual
updates, coordinating plans or anything that is more cut and
dried often work best in writing. If something is complicated
and will drag on too long as a text chain, go ahead and ask if
they can talk.
“Nobody has a good fight via text message,” says
Post. “I get that sometimes it feels better to fight via text
because you’re not actually confronting the person, but you
get through it a lot faster on the phone.”
If someone doesn’t answer your call, do not hang up
and immediately call them again.
If they have not responded
to your text about the call they missed, do not send them an
email about it. If it is an emergency, clearly state that right
away in a text message.
Voice mails are dead. Long live the video voice mail.
Apple recently introduced a new feature in its iOS 17 update
that lets you leave a video message when someone doesn’t
answer your FaceTime call. It’s silly and fun and should be
used that way, but keep in mind not everyone will find them
delightful.
It’s generally considered bad form to use
speakerphone in public. Whether it’s a regular call, video call
or smartwatch call, use headphones or save it for later.
Headphones only solve half of the problem, however, as
people still have to hear your side of the conversation. If
you’re in a crowded area, like an office or store, be aware of
other people’s personal space and your own volume.
Video calls in public are also a sensitive issue. There

birthday, a dispatch from friends at a Taylor Swift concert or
a simple “I love you.”
If you have a long juicy story you want to tell,
consider sending it in a voice memo instead. It’s the best
medium for a monologue.
Calling someone without warning can feel stressful to
the recipient. Instead, text them ahead of time to ask if
they’re free to talk now, if they can you call when they’re
free, or if they can pick a time they’d like to chat. If it’s
someone you call regularly, find out what their ideal times
are, like after work or only on Sunday afternoons.
Wording and context are key for these pre-call texts.
A simple “call me” text can feel urgent and make someone
think there’s an emergency. Clarify if it’s urgent or just to
catch-up. If it’s about a specific topic, mention it in the text
what it is you’d like to talk about so they can be prepared.
These steps are especially necessary for video calls.
Catching someone on video at an unexpected time can be
embarrassing for all involved. You should almost never start
a FaceTime or other video call without warning.
You don’t need to answer the phone. The
responsibility isn’t only on the person dialing. Just because
someone is calling you out of the blue does not mean you
have to pick up. If you’re in a restaurant, using the bathroom
or in a meeting, mute the call and get back to them at a
convenient time. “We all have control of our phones and can
decide if it’s the right time to answer it,” said Lizzie Post,
etiquette expert and co-president at the Emily Post Institute.
To be even more polite, send them a text.
Smartphones will let you send an automated text response
when you can’t answer.
Many things don’t need to be a phone call at all.
When you’re trying to decide on the best method of
communication, consider what it is you want to say.
Anything requiring nuance like opinions or emotional
matters are best done over the phone, including arguments,
catching up or connecting on a personal level. Factual
updates, coordinating plans or anything that is more cut and
dried often work best in writing. If something is complicated
and will drag on too long as a text chain, go ahead and ask if
they can talk.
“Nobody has a good fight via text message,” says
Post. “I get that sometimes it feels better to fight via text
because you’re not actually confronting the person, but you
get through it a lot faster on the phone.”
If someone doesn’t answer your call, do not hang up
and immediately call them again.
If they have not responded
to your text about the call they missed, do not send them an
email about it. If it is an emergency, clearly state that right
away in a text message.
Voice mails are dead. Long live the video voice mail.
Apple recently introduced a new feature in its iOS 17 update
that lets you leave a video message when someone doesn’t
answer your FaceTime call. It’s silly and fun and should be
used that way, but keep in mind not everyone will find them
delightful.
It’s generally considered bad form to use
speakerphone in public. Whether it’s a regular call, video call
or smartwatch call, use headphones or save it for later.
Headphones only solve half of the problem, however, as
people still have to hear your side of the conversation. If
you’re in a crowded area, like an office or store, be aware of
other people’s personal space and your own volume.
Video calls in public are also a sensitive issue. There
are strangers around you who did not consent to being on
camera, and they might also see something they’re not
supposed to on your screen. Frame your shots accordingly.
Phone calls aren’t dead! While hopping on the phone may
be less common or involve more planning than it used to,
it’s still a wonderful way to communicate. Talking to a
person in real time can strengthen relationships, improve
mental health and lessen loneliness.

Sociologia
“A sociedade indiana começou a se organizar em castas
e subcastas há mais de 3 mil anos, adotando uma
hierarquização baseada em religião, etnia, cor,
hereditariedade e ocupação. Esses elementos definem a
organização do poder político e a distribuição da riqueza
gerada pela sociedade. Apesar de na índia haver hoje uma
estrutura de classes, o sistema de castas permanece
mesclado a ela, o que representa uma dificuldade a mais
para entender a questão. O sistema sobrevive ainda hoje
por força de tradição religiosa, pois legalmente foi abolido
em 1950. E, em resumo, o sistema de castas tradicional
caracteriza-se por relações sociais muito estanques, isto é,
quem nasce em uma casta não tem como sair dela e passar
para outra. Porém, a industrialização, a urbanização e a
introdução de padrões comportamentais ocidentais na Índia
têm promovido mais relaxamento a este rígido sistema de
castas, tendo levado pessoas de diferentes castas a se
relacionarem entre si e pessoas de castas inferiores a terem
ascensão social.”

Sociologia
Atente para o seguinte excerto: “[...] O golpe de
estado, na grande maioria dos casos, é uma reação contra as
soluções revolucionárias ou reformistas, em andamento ou
projetadas. Por isso, envolve a restauração e o
endurecimento de estruturas arcaicas. Isto é, o golpe de
estado sempre inaugura um estilo de poder autoritário e
implica na cristalização da estrutura de apropriação”.

Sociologia
De que maneira ocorrem as mudanças e as
transformações sociais em uma sociedade? A resposta para
esta indagação constitui, na verdade, um dos tema-dilemas
na sociologia e podem ter respostas bastante diferentes, de
acordo com a perspectiva teórico-metodológica em que se
refere. Entre os primeiros teóricos desta ciência social,
podemos destacar Auguste Comte, Karl Marx e Émile
Durkheim como os pensadores que possuem explicações
sobre como ocorrem as mudanças em sociedade. Em
síntese, para entender as mudanças sociais Comte partia da
perspectiva do positivismo, Marx do materialismo histórico
dialético e Durkheim do funcionalismo.

Q3248262
Sociologia
Charles Wright Mills, sociólogo norte-americano que
produziu sua obra entre os anos 1940 e 1950, buscava
estudar, a partir dos conceitos de classe social e status, os
processos, estratégias e mecanismos de dominação em uma
sociedade. Mills em suas pesquisas demonstrava as lógicas
sociais das estruturas de poder e como estas eram mantidas
pelas elites norte-americanas para a manutenção da
sociedade que lhes favorecia.
Considerando essa perspectiva de Mills, avalie as seguintes proposições sociológicas:
I. As elites são compostas por pessoas cujas posições de classe social lhes permitem influenciar e tomar decisões que afetam toda a sociedade.
II. As elites do poder não são solitárias e necessitam de conselheiros, políticos e formadores de opinião para capitanearem seus interesses e escolhas.
III. O status social das elites tem uma íntima relação com a posição na estrutura social e com o reconhecimento de que são uma classe superior na sociedade.
IV. Os estratos sociais dominantes conseguem se manter como elite do poder porque buscam uniões matrimoniais com todas as outras classes sociais.
É correto o que se afirma em

Q3248261
Sociologia
Émile Durkheim, Karl Marx e Max Weber são
considerados os principais formuladores das primeiras
matrizes teórico-metodológicas da sociologia que surgiram
no final do século XIX na Europa. Cada um deles tem
perspectivas sociológicas que divergem uma da outra sobre
a explicação e a compreensão da realidade social. Durkheim
procurou explicar, de modo geral, o funcionalismo orgânico e intricado da divisão social do trabalho, na modernidade,
que mantém as sociedades como estão e coesas; Marx é o
teórico da história do sistema capitalista de produção e das
contradições que o fundamentam como a luta de classes
sociais; Weber investigou as conexões de sentido entre
fenômenos sociais como a racionalização da vida econômica
e a ética calvinista-cristã sobre o trabalho disciplinado e
esforçado ou, de outro modo, possibilita uma compreensãointerpretativa entre esses fenômenos.
Partindo do exposto, assinale a afirmação verdadeira.
