What selfies really tell us about ourselves
Kate Murphy 
 
Psychologists, technologists and behavioral economists differ in their interpretations of the selfie and the risks people are prepared to take socially and physically to snap them. But there is general agreement that selfies are a form of expression that may reveal more than the taker intended, no matter how flattering the filter used.
“We are so bombarded by media telling us how we should look and how we should be,” stated Jacquelyn Morie, a researcher at the University of Southern California. “With selfies you have this authority and autonomy that you don’t have in other parts of your life.” She said selfies are essentially avatars and foresees a day when they will be constructed even more to our liking. As we conduct more 22 of our life online, she suspects they will become more how we see ourselves than our real selves. Of course, selfies can also create a historical record of our life, if maybe a little better than reality. They show the world what you are doing and who you are with and how incredibly fun it all is. You often hear the refrain, “Selfies or you don’t exist,” which may explain some people’s compulsion to document their actions even if doing so diminishes their experience and engagement in the real world.
The need to be recognised, or even adored, is perhaps why so many have become their own Hollywood directors, attaching cameras to sticks and sometimes drones to improve the production value of their lives. Recent selfie-stick bans have been interpreted by some who study the selfie phenomenon as more a cultural movement in favour of authenticity than the elimination of a possible safety threat. There’s also the argument that rather than conferring power, selfies transfer control to viewers because in the end they are the ones who decide whether to post an encouraging or insulting comment, press “like” or ignore your existence all together.
Moreover, as facial recognition software continues to improve, frequent selfie takers may also be giving away their very identity. The more you post pictures of yourself online, the better companies, government agencies and criminals can identify you, not only online but sitting in a restaurant or walking down the street.

De acordo com o texto, as selfies são perigosas porque:
todas as alternativas estão corretas
entregamos o controle aos espectadores, pois eles decidem se irão clicar no "like"
podemos criar uma imagem falsa de nós mesmos
criam um histórico de sua vida nas redes sociais

Leia, COM TODA A ATENÇÃO, o texto a seguir:
In contemporary black popular culture, rap music has become one of the spaces where black vernacular speech is used in a manner that invites dominant mainstream culture to listen — to hear — and, to some extent, be transformed. However, one of the risks of this attempt at cultural translation is that it will trivialize black vernacular speech. When young white kids imitate this speech in ways that suggest it is the speech of those who are stupid or who are only interested in entertaining or being funny, then the subversive power of this speech is undermined.

Education in Modern Societies
 
1 - "Education in primitive societies is handled by the family. Children are taught by their parents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins, and other members of the extended kinship group. The family is large, acquisition of knowledge is a part of daily life, and skills and attitudes remain virtually unchanged for many generations. In such circumstances a separate school is unnecessary.
2 - In industrial societies, however, the family becomes much smaller, skills cannot be adequately learned at home, and new knowledge appears rapidly. As a result, separate, specialized institutions are required for educating the young. The large extended family shrinks to a nucleus of mother, father, and a few siblings - or even less.
3 - Parents often work miles from the home and therefore have little time for educating the children. Furthermore, many occupations have become very specialized, requiring training that parents cannot provide by themselves. Still an other problem is the swiftness with which new techniques emerge and previous methods become obsolete; skills possessed by one generation may become useless to the next generation.
4 - Such changes make it impossible for the young to learn all they need to know from just observing their parents. Consequently,a separate institution has developed, devoted specifically to education."

 8 A Biochemist Explains The Chemistry Of Cooking
January 1, 2009
A biochemist and cook explains that cooking is all about chemistry and knowing some facts can help chefs understand why recipes go wrong. Because cooking is essentially a series of chemical reactions, it is helpful to know some basics.
For example, plunging asparagus into boiling water causes the cells to pop and
5 result in a brighter green. Longer cooking, however, causes the plant's cell walls to shrink and releases an acid. This turns the asparagus an unappetizing shade of grey.
You love to cook, but have you whipped up some disasters? Even the best recipes can sometimes go terribly wrong. A nationally recognized scientist and chef says knowing a little chemistry could help.
10 Long before she was a cook, Shirley Corriher was a biochemist. She says science is the key to understanding what goes right and wrong in the kitchen.
"Cooking is chemistry," said Corriher. "It's essentially chemical reactions."
This kind of chemistry happens when you put chopped red cabbage into a hot pan. Heat breaks 15 down the red anthocyanine pigment, changing it from an acid to alkaline and causing  the color change. Add some vinegar to increase the acidity, and the cabbage is red again. Baking soda will change it back to blue.
Cooking vegetables like asparagus causes a different kind of reaction when tiny air cells on the surface hit boiling water.
"If we plunge them into boiling water, we pop these cells, and they suddenly become much
20 brighter green," Corriher said.
Longer cooking is not so good. It causes the plant's cell walls to shrink and release acid.
"So as it starts gushing out of the cells, and with acid in the water, it turns cooked green
vegetables into [a] yucky army drab," Corriher said.
And that pretty fruit bowl on your counter? "Literally, overnight you can go from [a] nice  25green banana to an overripe banana," Corriher said.
The culprit here is ethylene gas. Given off by apples and even the bananas themselves, it can ruin your perfect fruit bowl -- but put an apple in a paper bag with an unripe avocado, and ethylene gas  will work for you overnight.
"We use this as a quick way to ripen," Corriher said. Corriher says understanding a little  30chemistry  can help any cook.
"You may still mess up, but you know why," she said. When it works, this kind of chemistry can be downright delicious.
