Teens’ Online Safety Improved by Education, Research Shows
by Dian Schaffhauser
New research shows that teens’ online safety is improved by education.
Researchers from the University at Buffalo and University of Maryland surveyed 285 preteens and
early teenagers, both male and female, to determine how important they thought it was to protect their
privacy online and whether those beliefs affected what actions they took to protect that privacy.
Students were asked whether they protected their personal information on the Internet, whether they
opened e-mails from unknown senders, and whether they downloaded files from unknown people or Web sites.
The researchers found that preteens and early teenagers who were educated on the importance of
Internet privacy through school, parents, or the media were more likely to practice online safety than
those who weren’t. Among teachers, peers, and parents, parents were the most influential in delivering
that education, according to respondents.
A surprising result of the study was that experiencing a privacy breach online didn’t cause teens
to improve their online safety practices, according to one of the researchers, H.R. Rao, professor of
management science and systems in Buffalo’s School of Management.
“Students who experience Internet privacy breaches or computer security problems show less protective
behavior on the Internet,” said Rao. “This increases the chances that they will be victims again in the future.”
The study also showed that girls tend to practice more protective behavior on the Web than boys. The
researchers said they believe this is because girls consider online privacy more important than boys do.
The study was supported by a National Science Foundation grant.

Brazil: The Giant Down South
If Barack Obama came to visit Brazil— and he should— we would impress him with our bigness in
everything. We might even cause him to ponder just what all this bigness and ambition means for the
United States.
If Obama came, we would show him not just a good time, but a great time. He could join the biggest
party on earth (Carnaval) or go to the biggest football stadium in the world (Maracanã) to watch the
biggest, or at least the winningest, national team in action. We would awe Obama with our geography.
We’re bi-hemispherical, crossed by the equator on top and laying our feet near the South Pole. We can
sweat and freeze at the same time. We occupy more than half of South
America, we have the biggest river and the biggest iron-ore reserves on earth, and might just become
one of the world’s leading exporters of oil in the not-so-distant future. And if that doesn’t work— or if our
oil runs out— we will surely become the leading producer of biofuel. Our reputation for ethnic harmony
is a bit undeserved but, still, ours is the biggest experiment in racial integration and miscegenation in
history. We have a big, leftist (more or less) government but also a capitalist economy and are on the
way to developing a big popular consumer market for our own products and for imports. We also have
the widest spread between rich and poor in the world, however, along with the ugliest shantytowns
and probably the worst corruption scandals. When not having fun or being awed, Obama would have
much to think about. He may see us as a semitropical China, a giant stretching its limbs and demanding
attention— but a different kind of attention than it got in the past. He may notice that we have
Americanized, or McDonaldized, to a high degree, but notice, too, a sense in the land that it’s time our
bigness started to pay off and deliver on the future it promised. This might mean standing up like a giant
in defiance of old attitudes and submissions. Obama might view moderate Brazil as a good ally against
the radical populists popping up throughout the continent in the wake of failed neoliberal economics, or
he may see us as an emerging geopolitical threat. There are people in Brazil who are sure that the United
States is redeploying the Fourth Fleet to the South Atlantic just to show us who’s really big. We have big
ambitions— but big paranoia, too.
(Veríssimo, Luis Fernando. Newsweek, 28-07-2008.)

A) aprenderia a jogar futebol.
B) deveria também visitar o Equador.
C) não se entusiasmaria com o nosso Carnaval.

A) capital reduzido.

D) muitos analfabetos.
E) poucas dívidas.
58 Terra de muitas promessas, o Brasil, entretanto, também é

COLLEGE KIDS AND SLEEP
Here’s some unfortunate news for teenagers about to head off to college: New research being
presented today at the annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies says that a
morning person is apt to get better grades than a late riser. Researchers surveyed 824 college students
enrolled in psychology classes about their sleep habits and daily functioning. Result: The better
5 performers were not the ones who stayed up until the wee hours and slept till afternoon. So what to do if
you hate waking up in the morning?
Use the summer to develop good sleep habits, and then minimize the damage come fall. Be
consistent. “The most important thing is try to maintain a consistent wake and bedtime in the summer,”
suggests Daniel Taylor, assistant professor at the University of North Texas and one of the study’s
10 authors. He’d advise going to bed most nights between 11 p.m. and midnight. If you do start turning in
and getting up later once you’re at school, continue to be as regular as possible, says Ana Allen Gomes, a
professor at the University of Aveiro in Portugal, who has researched college students’ sleeping patterns.
Become a morning person. At least two to three weeks before the semester starts, start training
yourself. “The best way to do it is to wake yourself up successively earlier every few days, and get out
15 in the sunlight,” says Taylor. The sunlight helps reset your internal clock. Schedule classes with care. “A
lot of kids turn into evening types when they go to college,” Taylor says. So don’t pick 8 a.m. classes just
because you’re used to waking up early for high school. Compensate. If you’re just not able to become
an early riser, and do end up with early classes, plan some study time in the afternoon, when you’re
less likely to be tired, Gomes suggests. And avoid studying all night so that you’re not exhausted in the
20 morning.

USP - 2009
Two in every three people on the planet–some 4 billion in total–are “excluded from the rule of law.” In
many cases, this begins with the lack of official recognition of their birth: around 40% of the developing
world’s five-year old children are not registered as even existing.
Later, people will find that the home they live in, the land they farm, or the business that they start, is
not protected by legally enforceable property rights. Even in the rare cases when they can afford to go to
court, the service is poor. India, for example, has only 11 judges for every 1 million people.
These alarming statistics are contained in a report from a commission on the legal empowerment of
the poor, released on June 3rd at the United Nations. It argues that not only are such statistics evidence of
grave injustice, they also reflect one of the main reasons why so much of humanity remains mired in poverty.
Because they are outside the rule of law, the vast majority of poor people are obliged to work (if they work at
all) in the informal economy, which is less productive than the formal, legal part of the economy.
The Economist, June 7th 2008.

In 1993, the dawn of the Internet age, the liberating anonymity of the online world was captured in a
well known New Yorker cartoon. One dog, sitting at a computer, tells another: “On the Internet, nobody
knows you’re a dog.” Fifteen years later, that anonymity is gone. Technology companies have long used
“cookies,” little bits of tracking software slipped onto your computer, and other means, to record the Web
sites you visit, the ads you click on, even the words you enter in search engines – information that some
hold onto forever. They’re not telling you they’re doing it, and they’re not asking permission.
Internet service providers (I.S.P.’s) are now getting into the act. Because they control your connection,
they can keep track of everything you do online, and there have been reports that I.S.P.’s may have
started to sell the information they collect. The driving force behind this prying is commerce. The
big growth area in online advertising right now is “behavioral targeting.” Web sites can charge a
premium if they are able to tell the maker of an expensive sports car that its ads will appear on Web
pages clicked on by upperincome, middle-aged men.
