Gay Marriage

Casamento gay

In recent years, the debate over same-sex marriage has grown from an issue that occasionally arose in a few states to a nationwide controversy. Nos últimos anos, o debate sobre o casamento entre pessoas do mesmo sexo passou de uma questão que surgia ocasionalmente em alguns estados para uma controvérsia nacional.

Indeed, in the last five years, the debate over gay marriage has been heard in the halls of the U.S. Congress, at the White House, in dozens of state legislatures and courtrooms, and in the rhetoric of election campaigns at both the national and state levels.Na verdade, nos últimos cinco anos, o debate sobre o casamento gay foi ouvido nos corredores do Congresso dos EUA, na Casa Branca, em dezenas de legislaturas e tribunais estaduais, e na retórica das campanhas eleitorais, tanto a nível nacional como estadual.

Moreover, the battle over whether gays and lesbians should be allowed to wed shows no signs of abating. Além disso, a batalha sobre se gays e lésbicas deveriam ser autorizados a casar não mostra sinais de diminuir.

In the last year alone, three states have banned same-sex marriage and four states have legalized the practice. Só no ano passado, três estados proibiram o casamento entre pessoas do mesmo sexo e quatro estados legalizaram a prática.

As the debate rages on, the American religious community remains deeply divided over the issue. À medida que o debate avança, a comunidade religiosa americana permanece profundamente dividida sobre a questão.

“Gay marriage” the pew forum on religion & public life.

Why Children Use Drugs

Por que as crianças usam drogas

Parents often think that friends or drug dealers may have pressured their child into taking drugs. But children say that they choose to use drugs because they want to: Os pais muitas vezes pensam que amigos ou traficantes de drogas podem ter pressionado os seus filhos a consumir drogas. Mas as crianças dizem que escolhem usar drogas porque querem:

• __(1)__ boredom __(1)__ tédio

• Feel good sentir-se bem

• Forget their troubles and relax Esqueça seus problemas e relaxe

• __(2)__ fun __(2)__ divertido

• Satisfy their curiosity Satisfazer sua curiosidade

• Take risks Assumir riscos

• __(3)__ pain __(3)__ dor

• Feel grown-up Sinta-se adulto

• __(4)__ their independence sua independência

• __(5)__ to a specific group and look cool para um grupo específico e parecer legal

Parents know their children best and are therefore in the best position to suggest healthy alternatives to doing drugs. Os pais conhecem melhor os seus filhos e, portanto, estão na melhor posição para sugerir alternativas saudáveis ao consumo de drogas.

Encouraging children to become involved in sports, clubs, music lessons, community service projects, church, and other after-school activities can keep children and teens active and interested, while building their confidence and interpersonal skills. Incentivar as crianças a envolverem-se em desportos, clubes, aulas de música, projetos de serviço comunitário, igreja e outras atividades extracurriculares pode manter as crianças e os adolescentes ativos e interessados, ao mesmo tempo que desenvolve a sua confiança e competências interpessoais.

These activities will also bring youth closer to parents and to other adults and peers who can influence them in positive ways. Estas atividades também aproximarão os jovens dos pais e de outros adultos e colegas que possam influenciá-los de forma positiva.

Mexican Rice

Mexican rice belongs to an unusual category of Mexican dishes called dry soups. To make a dry soup, a starchy food such as rice, noodles, or cut-up tortillas is cooked slowly in a soup broth. Eventually the broth is completely absorbed by the starch, leaving a "dry" soup. Dry soups are served as a separate course before the meat course.

1 cup white rice, uncooked

2 tablespoons of vegetable oil

4 cups tomato juice

4 tablespoons butter or margarine

½ teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon salt

½ green pepper, cleaned out and chopped

1 ½ cups chopped onion

2 large tomatoes, chopped, or 1 8 ounce can (1 cup) tomatoes cut up with a spoon From: CORONADO, R. Cooking the Mexican Way. USA: Lerner Publications Company, 1982.

1. Rinse and drain rice. Dry on paper towels.

2. In a large frying pan, heat oil and fry raw rice until it becomes brown.

3. In a saucepan, heat tomato juice, add to rice in the frying pan.

4. Add rest of ingredients, cover and cook over low heat until tomato juice is absorbed and rise is soft (about 20 minutes).

Serves 4 to 6

Marcia says that all of her friends have a cell phone, but Marcia’s mom doesn’t want to buy her one. Marcia’s mom doesn’t want Marcia to play video games either. What is more, the Internet scares her. Marcia’s mom says, “If Marcia has a cell phone, how do we know whom she is talking to? Video games are bad for you. The Internet is dangerous and uncontrolled. It’s like having a gun in the house. We should just ban her from using the computer, and I’m not buying her a cell phone until she is eighteen. This is the only way we can be sure that Marcia is safe.” Marcia’s dad disagrees with Marcia’s mom. Although he agrees that there are some dangers to it, he likes the Internet, and finds it to be very useful. Marcia’s dad says, “The trouble is, we just can’t stop Marcia from using the Internet, as this would put her at a disadvantage. What is more, I like video games. I think that, when played in moderation, they are fun. Obviously, it is not good to play them without restraint or self-control. Finally, I think Marcia needs a cell phone. We can’t take these things away.”

KIDS AND TECH: HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH?

Incessant exposure to "all day TV," violent video games, instant messaging, and the always accessible cell phone interferes with the development of the psychological traits known to be essential to positive outcomes for children, according to Leah Klungness.

"The key to managing kids' technology use is to establish clear 'tech-free' zones," based on Maya Talisman Frost. "This means recognizing times when the present moment is the priority and technology is given a secondary role. Kids need to learn that there are times when paying attention to those around you is of primary importance, no matter what type of urgent phone calls or instant messages might be coming their way."

Technology access has been linked to improved reading skills, but some believe that too much technology can impose dangers on today's youth -- including vision impairment, technology addiction and sexual solicitation. To be sure, technology opens the doors to a world that includes much more than convenience, knowledge and entertainment.

If mom and dad have a difficult time disconnecting from technology, then kids will not see the need to disconnect either. Parents set the tone when it comes to limiting technology. Parents must practice what they preach. Klungness summarized a point on which most medical experts can agree: parents should supervise their children's use of technology.
