(ITA - 2002 - 1a Fase) THE GREAT ENGLISH DIVIDE Antonio Sanz might as well have won the lottery. In 1965, when the small, curly-haired Spaniard was 10, an American professor asked his parents if she might take the boy to the U.S. and enroll him in public school. They agreed. America seemed to offer a brighter future than the dairy farms where his father worked in the foothills north of Madrid. Sanz left, but came back to Spain every summer with stories from Philadelphia and boxes of New World artifacts: Super Balls, baseball cards, and Bob Dylan records. His real prize, though, was English. Sanz learned fast, and by senior year he outscored most of his honors English classmates in the verbal section of the Scholastic Aptitude Test. In those days, back in his hometown of Colmenar Viejo, English seemed so exotic that kids would stop him on the street and ask him to say a few sentences. By the time he graduated from Hamilton College in Clinton, N. Y., and moved back to Spain, American companies there were nearly as excited. He landed in Procter Gamble Co. Sanz, now 46 and a father of three, employs his Philadelphia English as an executive at Vodafone PLC in Madrid. But something funny has happened to his second language. These days, English is no longer special, or odd, or even foreign. In Paris, Dsseldorf, Madrid, and even in the streets of Colmenar Viejo, English has put down roots. What else can we speak? Sanz asks. (...) Business Week Aug 13, 2001. Antonio Sanz foi estudar nos E.U.A., pois:

(ITA - 2002 - 1a Fase) Appropriate for All Ages Japanese toymakers are focusing on senior citizens By Hideko Takayama Much has been made in Japan of the clout of teenage girls, the arbiters of taste and uncrowned queens of the fashionindustry. But when it comes to toys, a radically different demographic is beginning to call the shots. Japanese toymakers now see senior citizens as their most dynamic market. Nearly 22 million Japanese 17.4 percent of the population are over 65, and that number is expected to top 25 percent by 2020. Three million senior citizens live alone, and 1.55 million Japanese are senile (their numbers are also expected to grow rapidly). This aging population presents a huge silver market estimated at 50 trillion yen ($416 billion) for everything from beds to cosmetics to homecare nurses and helpers. Major industries such as electronics, construction and foodstuffs have already begun developing products tailored to old folks: robots to help out around the house, homes that have no steps or stairs and healthy, oilfree foods. The toy industry wants a piece of the action. There is a great potential says Yoshinori Haga, an official at Bandai, the biggest toymaker in Japan. Toys can be used for entertainment, to give the old people nostalgic feelings or to be a companion for those who live alone. Indeed, playthings are not just for fun anymore. Toshimitsu Musha, president of the Brain Functions Lab near Tokyo, argues that playing with toys can help human brains stay active and sharp. While researching Alzheimers disease, Musha found that art therapy such as painting and claywork helped to prevent the brains of Alzheimers patients from deteriorating. What works best for the elderly is something that they enjoy, where they have to use their brain and which requires concentration from 30 minutes to one hour, he says. (...) Newsweek August 6, 2001.
