READ THE FOLLOWING TEXT ABOUT CULTURAL SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
ARGENTINA AND URUGUAY. by Nicolas Lopez Zerpa from Argentina.
The main difference is that Argentina is much larger and more diverse than
Uruguay. Uruguayan culture is very similar to that of the center-east of Argentina.
Uruguay is a secular country; it's the Latin American nation with the fewest number of
Catholics. They are more "liberal" too; marihuana, abortion and prostitution are legalized there; that would
be almost impossible in Argentina, where Catholic priests receive a salary from the National Government.
Most Argentines don't know much about Uruguay, but Uruguayans seem to know a lot about our country. I
think it's because Uruguayan media reproduces a lot of Argentine content.
That leads to another point; Argentina and Uruguay are two "brother" nations, but
Argentina is the older and bigger brother, and sometimes Uruguay suffers this
disadvantage. Uruguay tends to be economically and culturally dependent on us. For
example, the most important economic crisis in the history of Uruguay, in 2002, was
caused by an earlier crisis in Argentina.
For these reasons, Argentines see Uruguay as their little brother and truly appreciate Uruguayans.
Furthermore, a lot of Argentines are happy when Uruguay wins in football. However, the opinion of
Uruguayans about Argentina and Argentines is (justifiably) mixed.

UNIT 2. PHILOSOPHY ROCKS!
Epistemology: How do you know that you know what you know?
Ethics: Right and wrong in the real world.
General topics: knowledge and values. Language: Modals and reported speech.
Epistemology is the study of knowledge. Epistemology asks questions like: "What is knowledge?", "How is
knowledge acquired?" and "What do people know?"
What Is Knowledge? Knowledge is the awareness and understanding of particular aspects of reality.
What is truth? the property (as of a statement) of being in accord with fact or reality.
What is a belief? something that is accepted, considered to be true, or held as an opinion. Belief may or may
not be true. It is dependent on your faith and confidence in a statement.
Justification is the reason why someone properly holds a belief, the explanation as to why the belief is true.
When a claim is in doubt, justification can be used to support the claim and reduce or remove the doubt.
Justification can use empiricism (the evidence of the senses), authoritative testimony (the appeal to criteria and
authority), or reason.
FLAT EARTH IS ONE OF THE INTERNET'S STRANGEST CONSPIRACY THEORIES.
WHY DO SOME PEOPLE BELIEVE THE EARTH IS FLAT?
Claim (or assertion, or statement) and belief: the earth is flat.
Justification (or evidence): The horizon is a straight line. When you walk around
on the planet's surface, it looks and feels flat.
What things should we accept to believe in a flat earth?
• All satellite photos of Earth as a sphere should be fabrications of a "round Earth conspiracy"
orchestrated by NASA and other government agencies.
• NASA is a government hoax to hoard taxpayer money.
• The "Pac-Man effect". When a plane reaches the edge of the horizon,
such as when Pac-Man reaches the end of the screen, that plane will
teleport from one side of the planet to the other, a la Pac-Man
entering from the other side of the screen.
CONCLUSION: YouTube and the Internet are fun and great sources of
knowledge, but we must be very critical of any information we find on
the Web and carefully examine each site. Remember that most
scientists are willing to admit errors, change their minds and self-
correct when there is new evidence. That´s why science is successful.

Reported speech is when we tell someone what another person said. To do this, we can use direct speech or
indirect speech.
direct speech: 'I work in a bank,' said Daniel. indirect speech: Daniel said that he worked in a bank.
In indirect speech, we often use a tense which is 'further back' in the past (e.g. worked) than the tense
originally used (e.g. work). This is called 'backshift'. We also may need to change other words that were used,
for example pronouns. We also have to change pronouns and other words like “here”, “now” and “today” for
“there”, “then” and “that day”.

FAKE NEWS: EPISTEMOLOGICAL AND AXIOLOGICAL CONSIDERATIONS
Is fake news a new phenomenon?
Not at all. It turns out, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
Life on the moon
On 21 August 1835, The New York Sun published a series of articles about the
discovery of life on the moon. This fake information helped the newspaper make a
lot of money.
How contemporary fake news is different
No matter who started the “fake news thing,” fake news in its modern form is different from
the historical forms of journalistic nonsense in traditional media outlets. The speed at which it
is spread and the magnitude of its influence places it in a different category from its historical
cousins.

A GREAT BRITISH PHILOSOPHER.
John Stuart Mill was a philosopher and social reformer who had a huge impact on 19th century
thought. Mill was born in London in 1806. His father was James Mill, a Scottish philosopher who gave
his son an intensive education. Mill was a precocious child. At the age of three he was taught Greek.
By the age of eight, he had read Aesop's Fables, Herodotus and Plato. He had also studied a great deal
of history, arithmetic, physics and astronomy.
In 1822, Mill was given a job at the East India Company. His job allowed him plenty of time for writing. John suffered
from depression in his early twenties and that experience got him very interested in human happiness.
Mill believed that an action was right if it maximized the greatest happiness of the greatest number of people. Mill
believed that actions are right if they promote happiness, and wrong if they produce the reverse of happiness. Mill
defines happiness as pleasure and the absence of pain. He defended the superiority of higher pleasures, the pleasures
of the intellect, and of morality over the lower, sensory pleasures. Mill famously said, it is better to be a human being
dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied.
In 1865 he was elected as member of parliament. He was considered a radical in parliament because of his support for
equality for women and compulsory education. Mill died in 1873.

The simplest form of technology is the development and use of basic tools. The prehistoric discovery of how to control
fire and the later invention of agriculture increased the available sources of food, and the invention of the wheel helped
humans to travel longer distances. Other inventions like the printing press, the telephone, and the Internet have
allowed humans to interact on a global scale.
Many technological processes produce pollution and deplete natural resources to the detriment of the environment.
Innovations have always influenced the values of a society and they can also raise questions about topics like
automation, cloning, neurohacking, behavioral biometrics, etc.
Neo-Luddism, anarcho-primitivism, and similar movements criticize the pervasiveness of technology, arguing that it
harms the environment and alienates people; proponents of ideologies such as transhumanism and techno-pro
gressivism view continued technological progress as beneficial to the human condition.

While social media has provided us with access to more information than ever before, there are both positive and
negative implications of our use of this technology.
…………………………………………………………. Every day, more people are using social media to make a
positive difference in the world.
………………………………………………………….. A survey has found that people who spent more time on social
media every day felt lonelier than those who checked their social media less.
…………………………………………………………. Many people only show the best aspects of their lives and
personalities. When we spend too much time looking at this improved image of other people, we may feel
inadequate. This often leads to severe psychological and physical issues like low self-confidence and
negative body image.
………………………………………………………….. Issues like online harassment and trolling are huge contributing
factors to feelings of anxiety and depression. Online harassment is the use of technology to harass and
intimidate someone else and according to a recent study, this behavior is linked to depression and suicide
among teenagers.
Social Media – what’s the verdict? To ensure that you get the benefits out of social media while avoiding the negative
implications, it’s important to limit your time using it. While social media enables us to build meaningful relationships,
it’s important to know about the negative implications that social media can have on our overall mental wellbeing.

PEOPLE WITH DIFFERENT VIEWS ON TECHNOLOGY.
THE AMISH
The Amish are a group of traditionalist Christians. They live in the USA and Canada. Amish are
known for simple living, plain dress, and reluctance to adopt modern technology. Bearing
children, raising them, and socializing with neighbors and relatives are the greatest functions of
the Amish family. Eliminating public power from the home prevents the temptation of using
television, radio, and the internet in the home.
THE JAPANESE
The Japanese really like technology. Many of them have a digital pet called The Tamagotchi and one
of the most important pop stars in the country is the holographic star Hatsune Miku. Their trains have
reached a speed of more than 600 km/h and their robots already work at industries and help people
at companies and in their homes.
TRANSHUMANISTS
Transhumanists embrace technological progress for the purpose of eliminating death, disease
and involuntary suffering. Transhumanists are in favor of using prosthetics that serve to replace
damaged organic limbs, artificial hearts and vision and hearing implants.

The World Health Organization has classified processed meats including ham, bacon,
salami and hot dogs as a Group 1 carcinogen. That means that there’s strong evidence
that processed meats cause cancer. Red meat, such as beef, lamb and pork, has been SALAMI
classified as a Group 2A carcinogen which means it probably causes cancer.
So, should we stop eating meat? Eating meat has known health benefits. WHO advises
people to limit intake of processed meat and red meat. (sources: Cancer Council, Australia
and WHO)
SAUSAGES
MORE ON MEAT
Meat is a good source of protein, vitamins and minerals in your diet. However, if you currently eat more than 90g
of red and processed meat a day, the Department of Health advises that you cut down to 70g.
Meats such as chicken, pork, lamb and beef are all rich in protein. A balanced diet can include protein from meat,
as well as from non-animal sources such as beans.
Some meats are high in fat, especially saturated fat. Eating a lot of saturated fat can raise cholesterol levels in the
blood, and having high cholesterol raises your risk of heart disease.
Red meat provides us with iron, and meat is also one of the main sources of vitamin B12.

EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY TRIES TO ANSWER INTERESTING QUESTIONS. (Warning: biology is often too blunt.)
Why do people (especially children) like playing games and sports? ANSWER: To develop or rehearse skills that
are critical to survival. Play provides animals with learning opportunities by simulating the actual experience. For
example, chase play—games like tag and hide-and-seek–may build the stamina, speed, and agility that, in ancestral
human environments, was needed to outrun and outmaneuver predators. Yes, lions used to eat humans!

ART HEALS THE HEART
“Only through art can we know what another person sees.” – Marcel Proust
GENERAL TOPIC: ART.
LINGUISTIC POINTS: REVISION OF TENSES. COMPARATIVE ADJECTIVES. REVISION OF THE PASSIVE VOICE.
Since prehistoric times humans have used images and objects to express our
feelings, beliefs and thoughts. Perhaps those hands painted in caves, as well
as art in general, is the way in which we tell the world and future
generations that we existed; it is as if we were saying “I was here”.

Reading time.
Van Gogh is now one of the most well-known post-Impressionist painters, although he
was not widely appreciated in his lifetime. He was born in 1853 in the Netherlands. In
1869, Vincent took his first job, working in the Hague branch of an international art
dealing firm.
In 1880, at the age of 27, he decided to become an artist. He moved around, teaching himself to draw and
paint and receiving financial support from his brother Theo. In 1886, Van Gogh joined Theo in Paris, and
met many artists including Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec and Gauguin, with whom he became friends. His style
changed significantly under the influence of Impressionism, becoming lighter and brighter.
In 1888, Van Gogh moved to Provence in southern France, where he painted his famous series
'Sunflowers'. He invited Gauguin to join him but they soon began to quarrel and one night, Van Gogh
threatened Gauguin with a razor. Deeply remorseful he then cut off part of his own ear.
This was the first serious sign of the mental health problems that were to afflict Van
Gogh for the rest of his life. He spent time in psychiatric hospitals and swung
between periods of inertia, depression and incredibly concentrated artistic activity,
his work reflecting the intense colours and strong light of the countryside around
him.
In 1890, again suffering from depression, Van Gogh shot himself. He died two days later.

The phrase that you say at the beginning of the sentence will be interpreted as the most important idea that you
want to express. Important: the passive voice is mostly used in formal language.

The power of images and advertising, I want to have it!
