(ENEM PPL - 2016) Are Twitter and Facebook Affecting How We Think? Is constant use of electronic gadgets reshaping our brains and making our thinking shallower? By Neil Tweedie How many times do you click on your email icon in a day? Or look at Facebook, or Twitter? And how many times when reading on the internet do you click on a link navigating away from the text that was the original object of your enquiry? The web, it seems, is like an electronic sweet shop, forever tempting us in different directions. But does this mental promiscuity, this tendency to flit around online, make us. well, thicker? Nicholas Carr the American science writer, has mined this theme for his new book, The Shallows, in which he argues that new media are not just changing our habits but our brains. It turns out that the mature human brain is not an immutable seat of personality and intellect but a changeable thing. subject to neuroplasticity. When our activities alter, so does the architecture of our brain. Im not thinking the way I used to think, writes Carr. I feel it most strongly when Im reading. Disponvel em: www.telegraph.co.uk.

(ENEM PPL - 2016) On the Meaning of Being Chinese Ethnically speaking, I feel I am complicated to classify, but who isnt, right? To me, being Chinese-Brazilian in America means a history of living in three opposite cultures, and sometimes feeling that I did not belong in neither, a constant struggle that immigrants, and national citizens, face when their appearance is foreign to natives in the country. Jokingly, I say that I am Asian in America, Brazilian in China, and a gringa in Brazil. Nevertheless, I believe that dealing with these hard to reconcile extremes have somehow helped me to become more comfortable with my identity. BELEZA LI. Disponvel em: www.aiisf.org.

(ENEM PPL - 2016) Hunger Games Review: Family Film Guide Parent Concerns: There is definitely violence in this film. The central Hunger Games may not be as bloody and brutal as author Suzanne Collins describes in the novel, but theres a visceral reaction to seeing the kid-on-kid violence rather than conjuring it in your own imagination. The tributes kill each other in a host of ways, from spear, knife and arrow wounds to hand-to-hand battles that leave teens with their heads smashed in or necks snapped. The editing is quick and the shots never linger on anything overly graphic, but there is blood and twenty-two adolescents, aged 12-18, die in the annual blood sport pageant. Immature teens, even if theyve read the books, may not be ready to handle to the film just yet. A good rule of thumb: if theyre not old enough to be reaped into the Hunger Games, theyre probably not mature enough to see it. ANGULO-CHEN, S. Disponvel em: http://news.moviefone.com.
