(UNESP - 2013 - 2a fase - Questo 36) On Solidarity: Who is helped when someone is helped? There comes a time When we heed a certain call When the world must come together as one There are people dying And its time to lend a hand to life Poverty, starvation, diseases, among other social problems, still make many people suffer in different parts of the world, despite the advances in agricultural developments, in medicine and in technology. And, as pointed out in the verses above, from the song We are the world (www.lyrics007.com), there comes a time when we heed a certain call / when the world must come together as one. It seems, however, that such time is and will always be the present time, since there has always been people dying, people suffering physical and psychological oppression. Conversely, aid is always and continuously necessary. Fortunately, a number of charities and non-governmental organizations have put forward campaigns to help the populations in poor areas of our planet, to lend a hand to life. This is a way through which food, money and medical help can be provided and thus counterbalance the suffering faced by the ill, the homeless, the poor. And providing aid to these less fortunate populations can be seen, according to the same song, as the greatest gift of all. The song continues, saying that We cant go on pretending day by day That someone, somehow will soon make a change We are all a part of Gods great big family And the truth, you know, love is all we need The call for help and the claim for responsibility towards the needs of the poor is made to every human being, then everybody should do something because we are all a part of Gods great big family. My question is, in fact, what reasons really motivate us to help other people? To what extent are we motivated by the arguments presented in the song? Or are there other reasons involved in solidarity? The chorus tells us that Theres a choice were making Were saving our own lives Its true well make a better day, just you and me but I would question such choice as motivated by the desire for a better world that includes everybody, a world with no big social differences. Perhaps that we actually see solidarity as a way to literally save our own lives, and that you and me would not include as many people as it should. Rather than thinking about so many people who need help, we engage in charity and make donations for our own benefit, to build up an image of solidarity from which we could end up as beneficiaries. Not to feel guilty, to sort of buy a place in heaven. We certainly need more than romantic love to commit ourselves to true solidarity. Qual a principal crtica apresentada pelo texto, e como a orao Were saving our own lives se encaixa nessa crtica?

(UNESP - 2013/2 - 2 FASE) Brazil to abolish taxes on food staples Feb 5, 2013 Brazilian President Dilma Rousseffs government plans to eliminate all federal taxes on staple foods, the latest in a series of tax cuts aimed at curbing inflation. Rousseff said on a radio talk show on Tuesday that federal taxes have already been scrapped for rice and beans, the Brazilian workers staple meal, but other basic foodstuffs will also be exempted from taxation. These taxes must be removed, especially on the basic food basket, Rousseff said on a local radio station in Parana state. Tax cuts and exemptions have been a prime tool used by Rousseffs economic team to revive stagnant economic growth and control inflation. Economists say inflation is speeding up after ending 2012 at 5.8 percent. The government will update the list of 13 products in the basket of goods deemed essential for a Brazilian family to live for a month, which has not changed for years, she said. Besides rice and beans, it includes bread, butter, meat, milk, coffee, sugar, oil, potatoes, tomatoes, bananas and manioc flower. Since the basic basket law is so old, we are updating the list of products so that we can eliminate all federal taxes on them, Rousseff said. (www.reuters.com. Adaptado.)

(UNESP - 2013/2 - 2 FASE) Can We Feed the World and Sustain the Planet? A five-step global plan could double food production by 2050 while greatly reducing environmental damage By Jonathan A. Foley The world must solve three food problems simultaneously: end hunger, double food production by 2050, and do both while drastically reducing agricultures damage to the environment. Five solutions, pursued together, can achieve these goals: stop agriculture from consuming more tropical land, boost the productivity of farms that have the lowest yields, raise the efficiency of water and fertilizer use worldwide, reduce per capita meat consumption and reduce waste in food production and distribution. A system for certifying foods based on how well each one delivers nutrition and food security and limits environmental and social costs would help the public choose products that push agriculture in a more sustainable direction.

(UNESP - 2012 - 1a Fase) Leia o texto a seguir: Why use biofuels for aviation? The aviation industry has seen huge growth since its beginning. Today, more than two billion people enjoy the social and economical benefits of flight each year. The ability to fly conveniently and efficiently between nations has been a catalyst for the global economy and has shrunk cultural barriers like no other transport sector. But this progress comes at a cost. In 2008, the commercial aviation industry produced 677 million tones of carbon dioxide (CO2 ). This is around 2% of the total man-made CO2 emissions of more than 34 billion tones. While this amount is smaller compared with other industry sectors, such as power generation and ground transport, these industries have viable alternative energy sources currently available. For example, the power generation industry can look to wind, hydro, nuclear and solar technologies to make electricity without producing much CO2 . Cars and buses can run on hybrid, flexible fuel engines or electricity. ___________________-powered trains can replace __________________ locomotives. The aviation industry has identified the development of biofuels as one of the major ways it can reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. Biofuels provide aviation with the capability to partially, and perhaps one day fully, replace carbon-intensive petroleum fuels. They will, over time, enable the industry to reduce its carbon footprint significantly. (Beginners Guide to Aviation Biofuels, May 2009. Adaptado.)
