TEXTO PARA A PRÓXIMA QUESTÃO:
Key to career success is confidence, not talent
Although workers with big egos will often perform
poorly and make more mistakes, their colleagues
consistently 1fail to spot their errors and continue to
believe they are “terrific” or “beloved”.
Their personality means they are often promoted over
those who are more competent, as colleagues 2mistake
their confidence for talent.
A study of more than 500 students, academics and
workers, published in the Journal of Personality and
Social Psychology, showed that 3those who appeared
more confident achieved a higher social status than their
peers. Within a work environment, higher-status
individuals tended to be more admired, listened to, and
had more sway over group decisions.
Prof Cameron Anderson of the University of California,
who 5led the research, said that those who were
overconfident often 6sought power, fame or success and
that overconfidence was encouraged by 8the prospect of
increased social status, respect and esteem.
4
The researchers 7found that many of their subjects
believed sincerely that they were more 9physically
talented, socially adept and skilled at their jobs than
reality reflected. “Although we may seek to choose
wisely, we are often forced to rely on proxies for ability,
such as 10individuals’ confidence. In so doing we, as a
society, create incentives for those who would seek
status to display more confidence than their actual
ability merits.”

TEXTO PARA A PRÓXIMA QUESTÃO:
What is World Challenge?
World Challenge is a global competition and
its objective is to find projects or small businesses that
have shown innovation and made a difference to the
local community. Since it began, in January 2004,
World Challenge has received lots of nominations from
all over the world. These include, for example, projects
that have helped farmers in Peru or improved the lives
of people in the slums of Colombia. Each year
thousands of people vote to say who they think deserves
to win. One of the 2007 nominees was from a rural
community in the Brazilian Amazon. Marajo Island is
the largest fresh water island in the world, and for years
the 200,000 people who live there have worked in the
fishing industry during the dry season, when the river is
full of fish. But during the rainy season the fish
disappear. That is also the time when the Andiroba trees
deposit their seeds. These seeds are carried by the rivers
and many end up on the beaches of Marajo. For years
the fishermen from Marajo have considered these seeds
a problem but a Brazilian company saw an opportunity
to make money out of them. In 2004, this company
organized a cooperative to collect the seeds and extract
their oil for the cosmetics industry. Life on the island
has improved for many families since 2004. This project
has made a huge difference for the families of the 1,000
people working in the business.

“Every reading of the word is preceded by a reading of
the world. Starting from the reading of the world that
the reader brings lo literacy programs (a social- and
class-determined reading), the reading of the word
sends the reader back lo the previous reading of the
world, which is, in fact, a rereading.” Paulo Freire.

multiliteracies can be perceived and applied very
differently depending on the nation and its culture. The

TEXTO PARA A PRÓXIMA QUESTÃO:
Globalization and Multiliteracies
Child labor tends to be thought of as a 19th
century evil that has now been eradicated. The reality is
that, throughout the world, the labor of millions of
children still occurs, often in conditions as horrific as
the factories of 150 years ago. These children are forced
to engage in back-breaking labor in stone quarries, brick
kilns, construction sites, and other hazardous
occupations.
There are now estimated to be 200 million
child laborers in the world. This is today’s world of nine
year old coal miners and eight year old prostitutes, and
of little girls who work 12 hour shifts
in sweatshops.
In most of these sweatshops, they are forced to
eat, sleep and work in the same stuffy, overcrowded
room. Girls rescued recently from one Bangkok
sweatshop were forced to work in strict silence from 6
2
am to midnight. They were mercilessly flogged for
breaking the rules.
These children are robbed of their childhood,
they have to toil up to 18 hours a day, seven days a
week.
The material in this report is based on Missions
to West Africa, southern and eastern Africa, South Asia
and South-East Asia by the Society’s Secretary-General,
by members of the Society’s Board of Governors and by
the Society's Program Directors for South Asia and
South-East Asia.

13. SKYSCRAPER by Demy Lovato
Skies are crying
I am watching
Catching teardrops in my hands
Only silence, has its ending
Like we never had a chance
Do you have to make me feel like
There's nothing left of me?
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
Like a skyscraper
Go run, run, run
I'm gonna stay right here
Watch you disappear, yeah
Go run run run
Yeah it's a long way down
But I'm closer to the clouds up here
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper 5X

As the smoke clears
I awaken and untangle you from me
Would it make you feel better
To watch me while I bleed
All my windows, still are broken
But I'm standing on my feet
You can take everything I have
You can break everything I am
Like I'm made of glass
Like I'm made of paper
Go on and try to tear me down
I will be rising from the ground
