Stateless People


    Stateless people are not recognized as citizens by any country. UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees) advocates for their rights and works to prevent and end statelessness globally. Millions of people around the world are denied the right to a nationality, which leaves them stateless. As a result, they may be unable to access other basic rights and services. They are also often at a higher risk of exploitation and abuse. At the end of June 2024, UNHCR’s statistical reporting counted 4.4 million stateless people. Given that most countries do not report statelessness data, the actual figure is believed to be substantially higher. Stateless people can be found in almost every country and in all regions of the world, and most live in the same country in which they were born.

    Stateless people face a lifetime of missed opportunities and disappointment. When they are born, their parents may not be able to register their birth, obtain a birth certificate or other legal identity documents. Without this, they often cannot be enrolled in school. If they do manage to enter school and receive education, they may be barred from sitting formal exams to progress or enter university, unless they can prove their legal identity. As an adult, they may not be allowed to work legally, which leaves them at an increased risk of exploitation and abuse as they take low-paying and informal jobs. They often cannot access public services like health care. They also frequently cannot open a bank account, vote, get a passport to travel, buy a home or even get married. Stateless people cannot confer a nationality on their children. If the child is unable to obtain a nationality through either of their parents or from the country of birth, they will also end up stateless, perpetuating statelessness across generations.

    What is the difference between a stateless person and a refugee? A stateless person is not considered a national of any country. A refugee is someone who has fled their country to escape conflict or persecution and has crossed an international border. While most refugees have a nationality, a person can be both stateless and a refugee. However, the majority of stateless people live within the country in which they were born and have never crossed an international border.

A New Trend in Cryptocurrency: Selling Your Iris


    Characters of countless sci-fi films have relied on iris scans to unlock hidden rooms, power up advanced gadgets, or authenticate their identities in a tech-centric world. What once was only a Hollywood fantasy is now becoming a reality, with similar applications just around the corner. These days, it’s not unusual to hear about shopping malls in cities like Barcelona featuring tiny booths where visitors scan their eyes. The concept is puzzling, especially when they explain that the goal is to “scan your iris to give you cryptocurrencies.”

    Worldcoin, one of Sam Altman’s (director of OpenAI, creators of ChatGPT) ventures, has recently gained increased attention due to their new initiative: offering money in exchange for iris scans. Worldcoin scans the biometric data of the eye and then compensates individuals with cryptocurrency. However, many ask the same questions: What (1)____ Worldcoin gain from our iris? What (2)____ they really planning to do with it? Why (3)____ the iris so important? How (4)____ it affect your privacy?

    Unlike data such as phone numbers, credit cards, or passwords, biometric data is unchangeable. Biometric data includes traits that can be used to identify you, such as your voice, fingerprint, or iris. They are inherently yours and non-transferable. Sharing biometric data could expose individuals to risks of tracking and surveillance, potentially enabling identification without consent through various technologies. Often without realizing it, people have given permission for their data to be sold.

    After carefully studying the legality of this practice, Spain has banned these operations and is removing the stands and iris scanners used by Worldcoin. In countries like France or Brazil, Worldcoin has also faced bans on conducting their activities, while claiming they’re leaving voluntarily rather than because it’s illegal.

Sweden Reintroduces Traditional Books in Schools After Digital-Only Education Experiment


    In 2009, Sweden embarked on a bold journey to digitize its classrooms, aiming to revolutionize the way students learn. The government envisioned a future where computers and tablets would transform education into an interactive and accessible experience. By replacing traditional textbooks with digital alternatives, Sweden sought to make learning more dynamic and prepare students for the digital demands of the 21st century.

    Despite the initial optimism, the digital transition did not deliver the anticipated results. Although Sweden maintained its high ranking in global education standards, studies and feedback from educators and parents revealed challenges. One significant issue was the decline in essential skills such as reading and writing. Teachers noticed that students struggled to concentrate and retain information when using screens compared to traditional paper-based learning methods.

    Distractions from digital devices further compounded the problem. Lots of students get sidetracked by games or surfing the web during class instead of sticking to their studies. While computers and tablets were intended for learning, students often used them for gaming or browsing the internet during school hours, reducing classroom engagement.

    Recognizing these challenges, Sweden has decided to reverse course. From 2022 to 2025, the government will invest €104 million to provide every student with paper textbooks for each subject. The decision reflects the government’s understanding that (1)_____ technology has its advantages, traditional teaching methods are vital for fostering critical thinking and comprehension skills.

    “This move is about finding a balance,” said Education Minister Lena Johansson. “We’re not abandoning digital tools altogether, but we’re ensuring that they complement rather than replace the foundational aspects of learning.” By reinstating printed material, Sweden hopes to rebuild fundamental learning skills (2)_____ continuing to use digital tools where they can add value. The new approach aims to harmonize digital and traditional methods to create a more comprehensive educational experience.

Secret WWII tunnels under London to become new tourist attraction


    A vast network of secret underground tunnels beneath central London, constructed during World War II, is set to be transformed into a major tourist attraction by 2028. The London Tunnels project, led by Angus Murray, aims to convert the historic Kingsway Exchange Tunnels into an immersive venue that combines a museum, exhibition space, and entertainment area, commemorating the tunnels' role in British history. With an estimated cost of £120 million ($149 million), the project seeks to attract up to three million visitors annually. Tickets are expected to cost over £30 ($37), and the attraction could rival visitor numbers of landmarks like the London Eye, which draws more than three million visitors each year.

    The Kingsway Exchange Tunnels were originally built as air-raid shelters during the German bombing campaigns of World War II and were completed in 1942. However, by then, the bombing campaigns had ended, and the tunnels were never used for their intended purpose. Actually, their true significance emerged only later. In 1944, they were repurposed as a spy headquarters where Ian Fleming, the creator of James Bond, worked for the Naval Intelligence Service. The tunnels' connection to espionage adds a unique allure to the planned attraction, inviting visitors to explore a world filled with history, mystery, and wartime secrets. Post-war, the tunnels were expanded and became a top-secret communication center during the Cold War.

    The tunnels have remained largely inaccessible to the public since the 1980s. The project aims to offer an immersive experience that merges historical preservation with modern technology. The attraction is set to include high-resolution immersive screens, interactive activities, hundreds of speakers, and scent-emitting technology to engage visitors fully. "One of the most thrilling global destinations," said Murray, envisioning the project as offering a unique journey through London's wartime past.

Helping Others Helps Ourselves


By Victoria - Pineville, Missour


    I believe helping others is a way to help ourselves. Helping a friend, family, a neighbor, or even a stranger does not necessarily mean fixing their car, or buying them lunch. Helping someone could be as simple as waving or smiling when walking past them. Helping a person could be a small thing such as listening to their problems, offering support and advice, and walking them through an otherwise hard time. Honestly, a person can help another without realizing helping is what they are doing.


    Even though I am only eighteen years of age, I have helped many people and I will continue to do so for the rest of my life. In helping others I have become a better person. Offering assistance to others is the best way to leave a good impression on someone. Maybe it is the alleged “bum” on the side of the road; no one can truly know if he is sincerely poor or not except him/her. Still, stopping to give him/her a happy meal or a cup of coffee can show him/her that there are good people left in the world. You may not remember his/her face, but I can guarantee that he/she will remember your kindness forever.


   Maybe you have a family member that is in trouble, and even though you agree with the punishment that has been given, you still feel the need to lend a helping hand. In my book everyone deserves a second chance, however if they blow that chance, then they are one their own. I also believe that everyone deserves the chance not to be judged. There are several people that are cold hearted, but seeing the good or best in them could help them to change into a better person. This is why I believe in helping other people.


     I am soon going into the medical field to become a doctor. I chose this field in order to make the most out of helping people. I would be able to save someone’s life and in turn heal a family’s anguish. Besides healing others, I can deliver a child and make a family come together despite their differences and celebrate the joy of a newborn. I can in turn use my knowledge to discover a cure for cancer or lupus, thus helping many families realize there is still hope. Mostly, however, I would be helping myself in knowing that I have helped so many people for one small act of kindness. I hope that my belief will have a lasting effect on those who read it, and that you too will see the joy in helping others and do the same.



VICTORIA. Helping others helps ourselves. This I Believe, Pineville, Missouri, [s.d.]. Available at: https://thisibelieve.org/essay/. Accessed on: June 1, 2025.

Helping Others Helps Ourselves


By Victoria - Pineville, Missour


    I believe helping others is a way to help ourselves. Helping a friend, family, a neighbor, or even a stranger does not necessarily mean fixing their car, or buying them lunch. Helping someone could be as simple as waving or smiling when walking past them. Helping a person could be a small thing such as listening to their problems, offering support and advice, and walking them through an otherwise hard time. Honestly, a person can help another without realizing helping is what they are doing.


    Even though I am only eighteen years of age, I have helped many people and I will continue to do so for the rest of my life. In helping others I have become a better person. Offering assistance to others is the best way to leave a good impression on someone. Maybe it is the alleged “bum” on the side of the road; no one can truly know if he is sincerely poor or not except him/her. Still, stopping to give him/her a happy meal or a cup of coffee can show him/her that there are good people left in the world. You may not remember his/her face, but I can guarantee that he/she will remember your kindness forever.


   Maybe you have a family member that is in trouble, and even though you agree with the punishment that has been given, you still feel the need to lend a helping hand. In my book everyone deserves a second chance, however if they blow that chance, then they are one their own. I also believe that everyone deserves the chance not to be judged. There are several people that are cold hearted, but seeing the good or best in them could help them to change into a better person. This is why I believe in helping other people.


     I am soon going into the medical field to become a doctor. I chose this field in order to make the most out of helping people. I would be able to save someone’s life and in turn heal a family’s anguish. Besides healing others, I can deliver a child and make a family come together despite their differences and celebrate the joy of a newborn. I can in turn use my knowledge to discover a cure for cancer or lupus, thus helping many families realize there is still hope. Mostly, however, I would be helping myself in knowing that I have helped so many people for one small act of kindness. I hope that my belief will have a lasting effect on those who read it, and that you too will see the joy in helping others and do the same.

In relation to the Text I, judge the following statements and mark the correct alternative.

I. In the sentence “Besides healing others, I can deliver a child and make a family come together despite their differences and celebrate the joy of a newborn”, the modal verb “can” expresses an obligation, and could be replaced by “must” without changing the intended meaning.
II. In the sentence “I have helped many people and I will continue to do so for the rest of my life”, the author uses the present perfect tense to refer to past experiences with relevance to the present, and the simple future tense to express intention.
III. In the sentence “I would be able to save someone’s life and in turn heal a family’s anguish”, the term “would be able to” expresses a hypothetical or projected future scenario, associated with a desired profession.
IV. In the sentence “Maybe you have a family member that is in trouble, and even though you agree with the punishment that has been given, you still feel the need to lend a helping hand”, the expression “even though” could be replaced by “although” without changing the intended meaning.

Q3864346 Português
A Biblioteca de Alexandria não foi destruída pelo fogo, mas pelo esquecimento

Por Bruno Vaiano


"Há crimes piores do que queimar livros. Não lê-los é um deles." – Ray Bradbury.


    Três séculos antes de Cristo, Alexandre, o Grande, conquistou o Egito e mandou erguer, do zero, uma metrópole no litoral norte do país. Alexandria, batizada em homenagem a seu patrono desumilde, seria a nova capital da região. A estética faraônica clichê, dourada e azul, prevaleceu por lá (bem como o hábito egípcio de os nobres se casarem entre irmãos, à moda Cersei em Game of Thrones). Mas esse novo Egito Antigo, assim como o próprio Alexandre, tinha uma pinta grega inegável.

    O sucessor de Alexandre, o Grande, por aquelas bandas, nomeado Ptolomeu I, ordenou a construção de um centro de ensino e pesquisa em Alexandria para atrair a elite intelectual da época. Tipo uma versão helênica e antiquíssima do Instituto de Estudos Avançados de Princeton, onde monstros sagrados das exatas como Einstein, Gödel e Neumann trabalharam juntos na década de 1950.

    O nome dessa instituição era Mouseion. Em português, “Museu”. O significado original da palavra é “templo dedicado às musas” — as deusas do panteão grego que, na tradição helênica, inspiravam as artes, a literatura e a ciência. Essa também é a origem etimológica de “música”, diga-se. Compôs uma bela canção? Legal, mas não foi bem você. Tudo que é belo emana dessas divas – artistas são só os meros mortais que, volta e meia, têm o privilégio de receber um download de versos do Olimpo.

    A Biblioteca de Alexandria acabou se tornando o mais famoso dos prédios desse complexo. Bibliotecas não eram novidade. Já existiam na Suméria; são quase tão antigas quanto a escrita em si. Mas essa almejava um passo além: Ptolomeu queria uma cópia de cada obra já escrita na Terra. Por isso, os tripulantes de toda embarcação que aportava em Alexandria eram forçados, por decreto, a fornecer ao Museu os pergaminhos que tivessem a bordo – que então eram copiados por escribas e armazenados na coleção. Deu certo.

    Essa Harvard ptolomaica prosperou por séculos, e não acabou por causa de um incêndio – nem qualquer outro ato pontual de vandalismo. Júlio César danificou parte da coleção quando sitiou Alexandria e ateou fogo ao porto, em 48 a.C. Mas, nessa época, o Museu já havia perdido prestígio e os acadêmicos preferiam trabalhar em outros lugares.

    Em 297 d.C., quando Diocleciano incendiou a cidade novamente para conter uma rebelião, é provável que o prédio original da Biblioteca já não existisse mais: as últimas evidências inequívocas da contratação de funcionários datam de 260 d.C.

    Não era fácil sustentar um exército de bibliotecários e escribas copistas para manter a coleção atualizada, higiênica e catalogada. Bastava um fiapo de desinteresse coletivo para a coisa degringolar. O território egípcio mudou de mãos e crenças muitas vezes ao longo da História – os califados árabes vieram por último e estabeleceram sua capital intelectual em Bagdá, relegando Alexandria à periferia do avanço científico-tecnológico durante a Idade Média.

    O fato é que você não precisa atear fogo a um livro para queimá-lo. O conhecimento não desaparece da noite para o dia só porque seu suporte material foi destruído.

    Hoje, qualquer sebo parrudo contém mais conhecimento do que a Biblioteca de Alexandria. Mesmo assim, 73% dos estudantes brasileiros estão abaixo do nível de conhecimento sobre Matemática que a Organização para a Cooperação e Desenvolvimento Econômico (OCDE) considera mínimo para que se possa exercer a cidadania satisfatoriamente.

    Na avaliação de Leitura, são 50%. Em Ciências, 55%. Mais da metade da população em idade escolar do País, nas palavras dos organizadores do Programa Internacional de Avaliação de Estudantes (Pisa), tem algum prejuízo na hora de “participar plenamente da vida social, econômica e cívica em um mundo globalizado”.

    Pode soar o alarme: nossa biblioteca está (metaforicamente) em chamas.
