La diferencia sexual en el análisis de los videojuegos

Tourism is understood, nowadays, as a systemic activity, inserting socio-cultural agents in the elaboration of its competitive products. The complexity of interlinked activities through its interative relations is the main reason for this. Fortaleza, with the best age capital city program (PFCMI), presents a good example of share management, a kind of strategy that makes stronger the consolidation and sustenance of a touristic destination. The major goals are to increase the practice of share management of touristic products, encouraging the recognition of activities developed with federal, state and city governments as a contribution. For these objectives to be accomplished, it was developed a research that analyses the own experience in the form of group leader into share management. This research was related with the insertion of some categories in tourism business, specifically in the administration, in the organized society and in the planning really shared. The greatest result of this experience came up with actions promoted by PFCMI, such as: lectures and events in favor of a sensibilization, the opening of new best age clubs in Ceara’s hinterland, cultural promotions designed for older people, encouraging the creation of an ‘Old Age Police District’, among other measures. It’s difficult to put in numbers results concerned on a cultural change of society. Nevertheless they exist, in a sense of some signals that this process is going on: a commitment, more and more emphatic, from the state government in the elaboration of the State Older People Council.

Thompson, and with the support of important categories, such as political propaganda, persuasive communication and rhetoric, it was analyzed Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva´s last political spot, broadcasted on television during the Brazilian electoral propaganda free air time on the last day of the second round of the election, in 2002.

Curricular analysis.In this work, it is presented a discussion about the individual person and about society, as per Emile Durkheim. In a very succinct way, it is presented the idea of moral individualism, according do the father of Sociology, as a morality found in modern societies, emphasizing a non-contractual element, which conditions social relations and ties in communities that gather through the organic solidarity. Despite not being an anti-individualist, it will be shown that Durkheim works with a very peculiar concept of individual, that, along with other concepts of State, Society, and Moral, is presented closer to the ideal type, rather than what is really found in real life. Keywords: Durkheim. Individual. Society. Moral. Moral individualism.Most expressive changes about the feminine participation in politics started in the 70´s with the insertion of woman in the social movements, the utilization of electoral quotas between the candidates, and the increase of woman in governmental roles. However, data from the elections of 2000 and 2004, in Ceara state, Brazil, shows that there is still a large imbalance on the distribution between male and female candidates. Based on the analysis of this data and on cultural, structural and political aspects, here are formulated hypothesis about the possible obstacles that prevent a more equitable distribution between man and woman in political roles. Keywords: Politics. Feminine participation. Municipal elections

La cultura sexista y la violencia en los videojuegos

Este articulo es el resultado de una investigacion desarrollada a lo largo de los anos 2003-2004 por las Universidades de Leon y Valladolid (ambas de Espana), sobre los contenidos y valores promovidos por los videojuegos de mayor exito comercial entre los adolescentes y jovenes. La metodologia de investigacion empleada ha sido de corte cuantitativo, no experimental y mediante encuesta descriptiva. Las herramientas que hemos empleado en esta investigacion conforman un amplio bagaje de instrumentos de evaluacion, donde los cuestionarios (5000 repartidos por toda Espana), los estudios de caso (22 con 44 participantes), las entrevistas (60), los grupos de discusion (13), las observaciones de campo (20), el analisis grafico de las revistas en primera linea de mercado (las 14 revistas mas vendidas pertenecientes a los anos 2002, 2003 y 2004), el analisis videografico de los videojuegos mas vendidos (250 videojuegos mas vendidos), nos han aportado toda la informacion que, a priori, pretendiamos, con una gran riqueza de detalles. La principal conclusion a la que hemos llegado en nuestra investigacion es que todos los videojuegos analizados que, a su vez, usan nuestros adolescentes y jovenes entre los 7 y los 23 anos, tienden a promover una cultura sexista que podemos denominar como “cultura del macho”, y un gran culto a la violencia de todo tipo. Palabras clave: videojuegos, cultura sexista, violencia, racismo, medios.
