(FUVEST - 2014) A wave of anger is sweeping the cities of the world. The protests have many different origins. In Brazil people rose up against bus fares, in Turkey against a building project. Indonesians have rejected higher fuel prices. In the euro zone they march against austerity, and the Arab spring has become a perma-protest against pretty much everything. Yet just as in 1848, 1968 and 1989, when people also found a collective voice, the demonstrators have much in common. In one country after another, protesters have risen up with bewildering speed. They tend to be ordinary, middle class people, not lobbies with lists of demands. Their mix of revelry and rage condemns the corruption, inefficiency and arrogance of the folk in charge. Nobody can know how 2013 will change the world if at all. In 1989 the Soviet empire teetered and fell. But Marxs belief that 1848 was the first wave of a proletarian revolution was confounded by decades of flourishing capitalism and 1968 did more to change sex than politics. Even now, though, the inchoate significance of 2013 is discernible. And for politicians who want to peddle the same old stuff, news is not good. The Economist, June 29, 2013. Adaptado. Ao comparar os protestos de 2013 com movimentos polticos passados, afirma-se, no texto, que

(FUVEST 2014) To live the longest and healthiest life possible, get smarter. Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) data show that past a certain threshold, health and wealth are just weakly correlated. However, overall health is closely tied to how many years people spend in school. Mexico, for instance, has a fifth the per capita gross domestic product (GDP) of the United States, but, for women, more than 50 percent of the latters schooling. In line with the trend, Mexicos female adult mortality rate is only narrowly higher. Vietnam and Yemen have roughly equivalent per capita GDP. Yet Vietnamese women average 6.3 more years in school and are half as likely to die between the ages of 15 and 60. Economic growth is also significantly associated with child mortality reductions, but the magnitude of the association is much smaller than that of increased education, comments Emmanuela Gakidou, IHMEs director of education and training. One year of schooling gives you about 10 percent lower mortality rates, whereas with a 10 percent increase in GDP, your mortality rate would go down only by 1 to 2 percent. Discover, May 31, 2013.

(FUVEST - 2013- 2 fase) Two decades ago only spies and systems administrators had to worry about passwords. But today you have to enter one even to do humdrum things like turning on your computer, downloading an album or buying a book online. No wonder many people use a single, simple password for everything. Analysis of password databases, often stolen from websites (something that happens with disturbing frequency), shows that the most common choices include password, 123456 and abc123. But using these, or any word that appears in a dictionary, is insecure. Even changing some letters to numbers ( e to 3, i to 1 and so forth) does little to reduce the vulnerability of such passwords to an automated dictionary attack, because these substitutions are so common. The fundamental problem is that secure passwords tend to be hard to remember, and memorable passwords tend to be insecure. The Economist. March 24th 2012. Adapted.

(FUVEST - 2013) Time was, advertising was a relatively simple undertaking: buy some print space and airtime, create the spots, and blast them at a captive audience. Todayits chaos: while passive viewers still exist, mostly we pick and choose what to consume, ignoring ads with a touch of the DVR remote. Ads are forced to become more like content, and the best aim to engage consumers so much that they pass the material on to friends by email, Twitter, Facebook who will pass it on to friends, who will you get the picture. In the industry, viral has become a usefully vague way to describe any campaign that spreads from person to person, acquiring its own momentum. Its not that online advertising has eclipsed TV, but it has become its full partner and in many ways the more substantive one, a medium in which the audience must be earned, not simply bought.

(FUVEST - 2013) Missing Out: In Praise of the Unlived Life is Adam Phillipss 17th book and is a characteristic blend of literary criticism and philosophical reflection packaged around a central idea. The theme here is missed opportunities, roads not taken, alternative versions of our lives and ourselves, all of which, Phillips argues, exert a powerful hold over our imaginations. Using a series of examples and close readings of authors including Philip Larkin and Shakespeare, the booksuggests that a broader understanding of lifes inevitable disappointments and thwarted desires can enable us to live fuller, richer lives. Good things come to those who wait. Does he see himself as a champion of frustration? Im not on the side of frustration exactly, so much as the idea that one has to be able to bear frustration in order for satisfaction to be realistic. Im interested in how the culture of consumer capitalism depends on the idea that we cant bear frustration, so that every time we feel a bit restless or bored or irritable, we eat, or we shop. guardian.co.uk, 1 June 2012.
