A brilliant text written by Rubem Alves* uses a metaphor to explain why parents should be a bit more strict with their kids. Alves jokes that parents today wouldn’t be able to stand Michelangelo. They would say, what does Michelangelo have against marble?
Alves states, “…he had something against marble, because inside [...]

I just read an article on Folha On Line in which an actress, wearing a short dress (not even that short in the eyes of a baby boomer,) went to various prestigious Brazilian Universities (including the Law School at USP, FMU at University Ibriapuera, and PUC). The actress, pretending [...]

In Philosophy, ethics can signify what is good for an individual and for society. Through this lens, we establish a natural sense of duty in
relationships, and in society.
For a while now, I’ve been participating in numerous discussions on the implementation of a new subject in school called “Ethics and
Citizenship.” This
new subject [...]

Parents are not teaching their children to be citizens with an attitude. This is the opinion of Dr. Içami Tiba, psychiatrist for whom, “There isn’t an ideal model for raising children.”

Perhaps what makes Generation Y’s educational experience most different from the experience of past generations is the overwhelming presence of technology in the classroom, and all the implications this brings.
While cell phones and laptops are often considered to be [...]

Lots of people talk about Generation Y’s superficiality. Researchers find that it takes Gen Y more written pages, to say less, compared to past generations. Also, it’s often stated that the time they spend on the web, robs them of a dedicated attitude to deeper issues.

Today I come not with answers, but with questions. Lately, I’ve been hearing lots of people complaining about how Gen Y doesn’t have the same sense of respect other generations had. They don’t really respect their parents, their elders, or even their Professors.
Past generations, knew that their parents had [...]

The new website “Unithrive” aims to match Harvard students in financial need, with Harvard alumni who are willing to make interest free loans to support these students in their educational pursuits.

I’ve already written about how unprepared and unqualified many Brazilian teachers are. However, I haven’t yet spoken about how unprepared our own children are, when it comes to learning.
The 2009 June edition of the Brazilian magazine “ISTO E,” contained an article titled ““Profissão de risco: professor” (“Teachers: A Risky Profession.”)

The video above is from “Super News,” a great online show that’s always entertaining especially when it comes to its references and illustrations.
I would describe the show’s humor as post “South Park” and “Family Guy.” This show deals with Generation Y’s dominance over technology and the Baby Boomers.
The main problem between these two generations [...]
