Global protest grows as citizens lose faith in politics and the state The demonstrations in Brazil began after a small rise in bus fares that triggered mass protests. Within days this had become a nationwide movement... concerns had spread far beyond fares: more than a million people were on the streets shouting about everything - from corruption to the cost of living to the amount of money being spent on the World Cup.... Turkey, it was a similar story. A protest over the future of a city park in Istanbul snowballed too into something bigger, a wider-ranging political confrontation with prime minister. If the recent scenes have seemed familiar, it is because they shared common features: viral, loosely organised with fractured messages and mostly taking place in urban public locations. Unlike the protest movement of 1968, or even the end of Soviet influence in Eastern Europe in 1989,... are movements with few discernible leaders and often conflicting ideologies. Their points of reference are not even necessarily ideological, but take inspiration from other protests, including those of the Arab Spring and the Occupy movement. The result has seen a wave of social movements sometimes short-lived from Wall Street to Tel Aviv and from Istanbul to Rio de Janeiro, often engaging younger, better educated and wealthier members of society. In Brazil, the varied banners underlined the difficulty of easy categorisation as protesters held aloft signs expressing a range of demands from education reforms to free bus fares, while denouncing the billions of public dollars spent on stadiums for the 2014 World Cup and the Olympics. It s sort of a Catch-22, Rodrigues da Cunha, a 63-year-old protester told the Associated Press. On the one hand, we need some sort of leadership; on the other, we don t want this to be compromised by being affiliated with any political party. As the Economist pointed out, while mass movements in Britain, France, Sweden and Turkey have been inspired by a variety of causes, including falling living standards, authoritarian government and worries about immigration, Brazil does not fit the picture, with youth unemployment at a record low and enjoying the biggest leap in living standards in the country s history. So what s going on? This is a very peculiar moment, Saskia Sassen, a sociology professor at Columbia University, New York, told the Observer. She argues that one distinguishing factor is that many of the protest movements of the past decade have been defined by the involvement of what she calls the modest middle class,... have often been beneficiaries of the systems they are protesting against, but whose positions have been eroded by neoliberal economic policies that have seen both distribution of wealth and opportunities captured by a narrowing minority. As people have come to feel more distant from government and economic institutions, a large part of the new mass forms of dissent has come to be seen as an opportunity to demonstrate ideas of citizenship. Sassen s belief that many of the recent protests are middle-class-driven appeared to be confirmed overtly in the case of Brazil, at least. 26.

Pediatric group advises parents to read to kids June 26, 2014 By Amy Graff Reading Go Dog Go to your 6 month old might seem like wasted time because she s more likely to eat the book than help you turn the pages, but a statement released by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) this week says reading in the early years is essential. Reading out loud gets parents talking to their babies and the sound of an adult s voice stimulates that tiny yet rapidly growing brain. In the statement, the academy advises pediatricians to tell parents to read books to their children from birth. Reading regularly with young children stimulates optimal patterns of brain development and strengthens parent-child relationships at a critical time in child development, which, in turn, builds language, literacy, and social-emotional skills that last a lifetime. Research shows that a child s brain develops faster between 0 and 3 than at any other time in life, making the early years a critical time for babies to hear rich oral language. The more words children hear directed at them by parents and caregivers, the more they learn. While many babies are read Goodnight Moon and The Very Hungry Caterpillar every night before bed, others never get a chance to pat the bunny. Studies reveal that children from low-income, less-educated families have significantly fewer books than their more affluent peers. By age 4, children in poverty hear 30 million fewer words than those in higher -income households. These dramatic gaps result in significant learning disadvantages that persist into adulthood. The AAP hopes the new guidelines will encourage all parents to start reading from day one. Research shows that when pediatricians talk with parents about reading, moms and dads are more likely to fill their home with books and read. Also, to help get more parents reading, the AAP is 10 Inglês

3 partnering with organizations such as Scholastic and Too Small to Fail to help get reading materials to new families who need books the most. This is the first time the AAP has made a recommendation on children s literary education and it seems the timing might be just right as more and more parents are leaning on screens and electronic gadget to occupy their babies. The reality of today s world is that we re competing with portable digital media, Dr. Alanna Levine, a pediatrician in Orangeburg, N.Y., told The New York Times. So you really want to arm parents with tools and rationale behind it about why it s important to stick to the basics of things like books. Adaptado. 32.
