Technology, Taxes, and Globalization: Key Issues

Question 1

Teachers should not replace "old technologies" with "new technology"; they should, first of all, ensure a good fit. That is, use each technology for what it is best suited, and therefore superior to the other. New technologies, when associated with good pedagogical teaching, learning, and assessment, are of great importance from the moment they are seen as educational tools that can facilitate learning and become mediators for students to construct their own knowledge. In this process, the student takes on an active role rather than a passive one, addressing their needs so they can become critical and reflective citizens in the context of current education. Given this reality, the idea that individuals must "be able to accomplish significant learning themselves" is becoming more widespread.

Question 2

This paper addresses two interrelated issues: the high tax burden in Brazil and corruption. Despite raising several billion dollars a year in taxes, the income is very unevenly distributed. Despite being an advanced country, Brazil loses a great deal due to corruption. We cannot fail to criticize the acts that go unpunished in our government. The robbery is surprising, since many newspapers, whether print or TV, denounce corrupt acts, but the state does not take steps to solve these problems. There is no end to the indignation in the face of such corruption that plagues our government. And this is the main cause of indignation, as the corrupt not only take from us the bread that feeds us, but also our dignity. Let's combat corruption; we report, we avoid, we fight for our rights, let's say NO TO CORRUPTION.

Question 3

The awareness that we live in a globalization process extends over almost the entire population of the planet. Technological innovations, especially in telecommunications and information technology, have promoted the process of globalization. The telecommunication network made possible the dissemination of information between companies and financial institutions, linking the markets of the world. The globalized world of advanced technology is a world of two sides, because at the same time it gives us plenty of technology to satisfy our desires, on the other hand, it provides the debauchery or depravity of morals in modern society. The most recent example is the Internet, which turned the world into an island full of rich information, but open and without damage control, and even harboring crime.
