Read the text to answer the question. Trump signs decree changing American policy with Cuba. São Paulo and Washington - President Donald Trump defended the economic embargo of the United States against Cuba and conditioned advances in the bilateral relationship to political changes on the island towards free elections, release of political prisoners, and respect for freedom of expression. 'I am canceling the completely unilateral agreement of the last administration with Cuba,' he declared in a speech held this Friday, 16, in Miami. Despite the statement, Trump only reviewed specific issues of the policy announced by Barack Obama on December 17, 2014. The changes end the possibility of individual trips to the island and prohibit spending in tourist establishments controlled by the Army and by the country's intelligence and security sectors. 'Profits from tourism went directly to the armed forces,' he said. In addition to reversing these points, the major transformation was in tone and in signaling the future of the bilateral relationship. While Obama advocated for lifting the embargo, Trump promised to reinforce it. The rhetorical aggressiveness against the government of Raúl Castro also indicates a slowdown in the pace of normalization of bilateral relations. One of the objectives of the new agreement, explained Trump, is to ensure that the Cuban population benefits directly. However, the American president sought to emphasize that 'atrocities' committed since the beginning of the Castro brothers' regime will not be tolerated and insinuated that the government of Barack Obama neglected the practice of crimes against the island's population. <http://tinyurl.com/y8ol93q4> Accessed on: 06/17/2017.

Question 56. To answer the question, read the following text: "(...) has 46 kilometers in length by six to ten in width, next to the Mediterranean. (...) 1,200,000 Palestinians live in almost 60% of the territory. It is one of the most densely populated regions in the world. Israel controls 62% of the lands, including the colonies, military bases, and buffer zones, but Israeli settlers number only six thousand, representing just 5% of the population (...). Of every four inhabitants (...), three are refugees, expelled from their homes in 1948 by the Israelis, or descendants of these expelled Palestinians." (DERRIDA, J. et. all. Journey to Palestine. Rio de Janeiro: Ediouro, 2004, p. 150). Based on the described characteristics, the area mentioned in the text corresponds to:

Ancient Egyptians developed a hierarchical system to organize their society, which was divided into three main classes: priests, nobles, and commoners. The nobles were responsible for managing royal properties and overseeing public services, priests were responsible for religious worship, while commoners were responsible for manual labor and agricultural activities. Who had the right to vote on political decisions in society?

In a large number of countries and regions around the world, the 60s were characterized by the development of new forms of political expression and new social movements. The protagonists of these movements were diverse, but they had a common and initially surprising trait for many: they came from social groups different from those populating the worker, socialist, or communist movements of the 'Old Left'. They also had very different interests and demands from previous revolutionary movements. Whether they were young Germans fighting against aspects of their country's fascist past, French students in revolt against authoritarian aspects of French universities, or young Americans opposed to the Vietnam War, these people had a vision of total social transformation, but very different from the one centered on seizing state power or appropriating the means of production by the industrial proletariat, through the action of political parties acting on behalf of others. It could be the 'last great utopia', as many claim, but they stood out for a vision of transformation that, instead of subjugating the individual to the collectivity (as brutally happened in countries under Stalinist regime), started from the transformation of the individual and everyday social relations to dream and establish new forms of anti-hierarchical and anti-bureaucratic collective organization.
