Questão de Língua Inglesa

Mandy Oaklander Sept. 29, 2016 The people having the most kids in this country, Millennials, are giving their babies stranger and stranger names. In a time when actual people are naming their children Legendary and Sadman and Lux, that should perhaps come as no surprise. Jean Twenge, a psychology professor at San Diego State University, and research assistant Lauren Dawson analyzed the first names of 358 million babies in a U.S. Social Security Administration database. Between 2004 and 2006, 66% of boys and 76% of girls had a name that wasn’t one of the 50 most common names of that time period. By contrast, in 2011-2015, 72% of boys and 79% of girls had names that were not in the top 50 most popular. In the top 10 for 2015 in the U.S. were Harper, Liam, Mason, Isabella, Olivia, Ava, and Mia. Brooklyn was ranked 31st most popular for girls across the U.S. (though not for girls in New York, where the name didn’t rank in the top 100). Twenge credits the rise of stranger names on our increasingly individualistic culture: one that focuses on the self and is less concerned with social rules. “Millennials were raised with phrases like, you shouldn’t care what anyone else thinks of you, you can be anything you want to be, it’s good to be different, you have to love yourself first before you love anyone else,” says Twenge. Our obsession with celebrities is also a hallmark of individualism. Twenge found that Millennials are much more accepting of same-sex relationships and experiences. “What we’re seeing is this movement toward more sexual freedom,” Twenge told TIME. “There’s more freedom for people to do what they want without following the traditional, often now seen as outdated, social rules about who you’re supposed to have sex with and when.” Adaptado de: http://time.com/4511927/millennials-parents-baby-names/ Acesso em: 01º outubro 2016 CURSOS DE NÍVEL SUPERIOR • 13 QUESTÃO 13 According to the text, Millennials: A) in the U.S. are having the biggest number of kids.

Colombianos dijeron “No” al acuerdo de paz con las FARC En un plebiscito muy reñido, los colombianos rechazaron al pacto sellado entre el gobierno y el grupo guerrillero. Contra todos los pronósticos, los colombianos rechazaron un acuerdo de paz entre el gobierno d e Colombia y la guerrilla de las FARC en un histórico plebiscito que buscaba poner fin a 52 años de conflicto armado. Con 99,80% de las mesas escrutadas, la opción del “No” (50,23%) se imponía a la del “Sí” (49,76%), una tendencia que se mantiene desde que el escrutinio de la Registraduría Nacional del Estado Civil, encargada de organizar los comicios, pasó la mitad del recuento. Las autoridades confirmaron que el plebiscito es válido pues el umbral de participación fue superado. Unos 34,9 millones de colombianos fueron convocados a pronunciarse sobre el pacto firmado el 26 de setiembre entre las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia (FARC) y el gobierno de Juan Manuel Santos. Uno de los convencidos por el ‘No’ fue José Gómez, un pensionado de 70 años: “Es absurdo premiar a unos criminales narcoasesinos que han hecho al país un desastre”, dijo. Los colombianos dicen estar hartos de la guerra, pero muchos rechazan hacer concesiones a l a s FARC, que marcaron la historia reciente con masacres, secuestros, extorsiones y desapariciones forzadas. Lo negociado desde el 2012 en La Habana fue rechazado porque aunque 6.346.055 personas votaron por el “Sí”, superando el umbral de 4,5 millones de votos requeridos para avalar el acuerdo, fueron más las adhesiones por el “No” (6.408.350). El gobierno ha dicho no tener un plan B si triunfaba el voto negativo a la pregunta: “¿Apoya usted el acuerdo final para la terminación del conflicto y la construcción de una paz estable y duradera?”. Los últimos sondeos daban ganador al “Sí”, con un 20% de adhesiones frente al “No”, firmemente apoyado por el expresidente Álvaro Uribe (2002-2010).
