    The Paralympic Games

         The Paralympic Games consist of a sports event, which consists of competitions among top athletes from people with a disability, whether physical or sensory. In a nutshell, it is the traditional Olympic Games, whose dispute is made only with adapted sports. The resemblance to the Olympics does not end there: the Games take place in the same location as the traditional Olympics, but are soon started after its closure.      

         Historically, it is believed that the origin of sports competitions among people with disabilities has occurred in the United States and England, because of the number of men who fought in World War II and lost a limb or suffered some kind of severe trauma. These competitions had as main objective to rehabilitate ex-combatants, as well as stimulate them physically and emotionally. The first games of this nature were organized in a London hospital in 1948.

         The Paralympics in 2016 (15th edition) will take place in the city of Rio de Janeiro between the 7th of September (opening ceremony) and 18 September (closing ceremony). Both ceremonies will take place at Maracana Stadium. According to estimates, should participate more than 4000 athletes from about 160 countries.

Men avoid doctors not to be seen as 'weak', says American researcher

The Minister of Health, Ricardo Barros, caused a controversy this week by claiming that men go to the doctor less than women because they work more.

His statement seems to have no basis in fact. IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) show that women work an average of five hours more than men in the week, since usually accumulate a job with more housework.

Research in the United States - a country where men also consult less than women - indicate that other element is behind this disparity: the cultural factor that associates with male characteristics like "bravery" and "self-sufficiency".

Educated to show strong men avoid medical care just for fear of being seen as weak, he told BBC Brazil one of the authors of these studies, Mary Himmelstein, a researcher at the University of Connecticut.

In one of her studies, she asked 491 people of both sexes about how much they agreed or disagreed with statements about the social role of men and women, the importance of bravery and self-sufficiency and reliability of doctors.

In addition, respondents also gave personal information about how often went to the doctor and how long it used to take to go to consult when they felt ill.

Crossing these data, Himmelstein and study co-author Diana Sanchez concluded that the more respondents identified with values ​​associated with masculinity culturally (bravery and self-sufficiency), the more they tended to minimize health problems and avoid medical appointments.

"Traditional beliefs about the social roles (each gender) contribute to the way our culture builds masculinity - that is, the messages we hear about how men are, as they should be and how they should act," said Himmelstein, in an interview by email.

"For men, these beliefs contribute to the idea that to be a 'good man', you need to be tough, brave and absolutely self-sufficient. The problem with these beliefs is to create barriers to ask for help, even in the face of disease and injuries, "added the researcher
