(ESPCEX) We’re so well educated – but we’re useless

Record numbers of students have entered higher education in the past 10 years, but despite being the most educated generation in history, it seems that we’ve grown increasingly ignorant when it comes to basic life skills.

Looking back on my first weeks living in student halls, I consider myself lucky to still be alive. I have survived a couple of serious boiling egg incidents and numerous cases of food-poisoning, probably from dirty kitchen counters. Although some of my clothes have fallen victim to ironing experimentation, I think I have now finally acquired all the domestic skills I missed out in my modern education.

Educationist Sir Ken Robinson says that our current education system dislocates people from their natural talents and deprives us of what used to be passed from generation to generation – a working knowledge of basic life skills. Today’s graduates may have earned themselves distinctions in history, law or economics, but when it comes to simple things like putting up a shelf to hold all their academic books, or fixing a hole in their on-trend clothes, they have to call for help from a professional handyman or tailor.

Besides what we need to know for our own jobs, we must have practical skills. We don’t grow our own crops, build our own houses, or make our own clothes anymore; we simply buy these things. Unable to create anything ourselves, what we have mastered instead is consumption.

Sociologist Saskia Sassen argues that the modern liberal state has created a middle class that isn’t able to “make” anymore. I suggest that we start with the immediate reintroduction of some of the most vital aspects of “domestic science” education. Instead of only maths, language and history, we should create an interactive learning environment in schools where craftsmanship and problem-solving are valued as highly as the ability to absorb and regurgitate information. We need to develop children into people that not only think for themselves, but are also able to act for themselves.

(UNIT) As células-tronco são células capazes de autorrenovação e diferenciação em muitas categorias de células. Elas também podem se dividir e se transformar em outros tipos de células. Além disso, as células-tronco podem ser programadas para desenvolver funções específicas, tendo em vista que ainda não possuem uma especialização.

Basicamente, as células-tronco podem se autorreplicar, ou seja, se duplicar, gerando outras células-tronco, ou ainda se transformar em outros tipos de células.

Uma característica relacionada a uma célula-tronco, retirada do ser humano, está indicada na alternativa

(BAHIANA) O colorido dos luminosos de neônio e as cores observadas depois da queima dos fogos de artifícios estão associados às transições eletrônicas, realizadas na eletrosfera de átomos, presentes nas substâncias químicas constituintes desses materiais, a exemplo dos compostos de cobre ‒ de cor azul ‒ e dos compostos de estrôncio ‒ de cor vermelha ‒ adicionados aos fogos de artifícios. Com base nessas informações e no modelo atômico de Rutherford-Bohr, é correto afirmar:
