Leia o excerto sobre cotas étnicas em universidades públicas brasileiras e responda à questão.

 

In relation to the ethnic issue, it is absolutely necessary that the Brazilian republican society should recognize the discrimination that has happened since the country's foundation, and propose effective solutions to solve this debt. Nevertheless, solutions restricted to the access to universities, without being extended to other institutions and/or spaces of the society in order to create real opportunity for the formation of a new elite, and ensure the participation of this contingent in the decision process of the Brazilian society, seem like a populist incoherence, or like a demagogic simplification.

[1]MELAMINE CONTAMINATION IN CHINA

[2]On September 12, 2008, in light of reports from China of infant formula
[3]contaminated with melamine, the FDA issued a Health Information Advisory
[4]to proactively reassure the American public that there is no known threat of
[5]contamination in infant formula manufactured by companies that have met
[6]the requirements to sell such products in the United States. That advisory
[7]also warned members of Asian communities in the United States that infant
[8]formula manufactured in China, possibly available for purchase at Asian
[9]markets, could pose a risk to infants. No Chinese manufacturers of infant
[10]formula have fulfilled the requirements to sell infant formula in the United
[11]States.
[12]The FDA contacted the companies that manufacture infant formula for distribution in the United States and received
[13]information from the companies that they are not importing formula and do not source milk-based ingredients from
[14]China.
[15]In addition, the FDA – in conjunction with state and local officials – continues to check Asian markets for food items
[16]that are imported from China and that could contain a significant amount of milk or milk proteins.
[17]The FDA has broadened its domestic and import sampling and testing of milk-derived ingredients and finished food
[18]products containing milk or milk-derived ingredients from Chinese sources. FDA has recommended that consumers
[19]not consume certain products because of possible contamination with melamine.
[20]Melamine is not naturally occurring and is not approved to be directly added to food in the United States. However,
[21]melamine is approved for use as part of certain food contact substances. Low levels of melamine are present in the
[22]environment and trace amounts may occur in certain food commodities as a result of approved uses.
[23]Parents using infant formula should continue using U.S. manufactured infant formula. Switching away from using one
[24]of these infant formulas to alternate diets or home-made formulas could result in infants not receiving the complete
[25]nutrition required for proper growth and development.

[1]THE FUTURE OF TWITTER

[2]  Microblogging platform Twitter has 32 million users, an increase
[3]  from about 2 million a year ago, according to research mentioned
[4]  in the Wall Street Journal. Some Internet measurement services
[5]  show that figure increasing 50% to 100% month over month.
[6]  While it is not clear that Twitter will become as large as social
[7]  networks MySpace and Facebook or video-sharing site YouTube,
[8]  the company could certainly have 50 million visitors by the end of
[9]  the year.
[10]  Because Twitter can be used with ease on both PCs and mobile
[11]  devices, and because it limits users to very short messages of 140
[12]  characters or fewer, it has become one of the largest platforms in
[13]  the world for sharing real-time data. A number of large businesses and celebrities have hundreds of thousands of
[14]  followers on Twitter.
[15]  As Twitter grows, it will increasingly become a place where companies build brands, do research, send information to
[16]  customers, conduct e-commerce and create communities for their users. Some industries, like local retail, could be
[17]  transformed by Twitter - both at one-store operations that cater to customers within a few blocks of their locations and
[18]  at the individual stores of giant retail operations like Wal-Mart (WMT). In either case, having the opportunity to tell
[19]  customers about attractive sales and new products can be done at remarkably low cost while providing for greater
[20]  geographic accuracy.
[21]  Twitter users have set up their own rules of conduct when using the service, not unlike those with MySpace and
[22]  Facebook. These rules were not put together by Twitter itself, which mandates only rules of use. Like many
[23]  social-network sites, Twitter is self-governed by its members, and companies must take that into account as they join
[24]  the service.
[25]  Twitter is still in the early stages of developing a plan for making money as a company, but plenty of large corporations
[26]  like Starbucks are already using it as a marketing tool. Twitter will probably evolve into both a community of individuals
[27]  and a community of companies that provide goods and services for those individuals.
