With the advancement of technology, various professions have been impacted and transformed, leading to adaptations in the job market. Automation, for example, has significantly altered the tasks of many jobs, leading to the replacement of repetitive activities by machines or algorithms. However, these changes do not affect all areas uniformly, and the debate on the social and economic implications of these transformations is intense. In the work 'The Automatic Society: The Future of Work', the sociologist Antônio Garcia Molina discusses the relationship between technology and work, stating that 'automation is not a phenomenon that occurs suddenly, but a gradual process that shapes professional relationships over time, with complex implications for society'. Considering the excerpt and the presented theme, analyze the impact of automation on the job market and identify an example of a profession that has undergone significant transformations due to this process.a.
Professions related to agriculture, such as manual fruit harvesting, which have not been significantly impacted by automation due to the complexity of tasks and the diversity of work environments.
b.
The financial sector, including the profession of bank teller, which has seen a significant increase in jobs due to the demand for personal interactions and the growing complexity of financial transactions.
c.
An example of a profession that has undergone significant transformations due to automation is telemarketing operators, with the replacement of repetitive tasks by automatic dialing software and chatbots, resulting in job elimination and the creation of new opportunities in development and customer service.
d.
Jobs in the construction industry, such as masons and carpenters, which have not been affected by automation due to the highly variable and personalized nature of constructions, making task standardization difficult.
e.
The field of medicine, with professions such as nursing and physiotherapy, which remain unchanged by automation due to the need for complex and unpredictable human interactions in patient care.

In the contemporary context, technological transformations have reshaped the labor market scenario, altering both the work dynamics and the skills demanded from workers. In 'The Network Society', the sociologist Manuel Castells argues that the current society is shaped by new information and communication technologies, creating a 'space of flows' where economic activity is increasingly virtual and immaterial. Given this scenario and considering Castells' ideas, analyze the impact of digital technologies on the labor sphere, discussing the skills required for work in the 'space of flows' and the possible social and economic consequences of this phenomenon.

During the formation of modern States, the notion of citizenship and the rights and duties of individuals towards the State were reconfigured. T.H. Marshall, in his work 'Citizenship and Social Class,' discusses the evolution of civil, political, and social rights as fundamental to the integration and participation of citizens in democratic life. Considering the historical context and T.H. Marshall's ideas, write an essay discussing the following points: 1. How did the construction of the modern State influence the perception of citizenship and the definition of rights and duties? 2. What is the role of social rights in consolidating full citizenship and how do they relate to the notion of social justice in contemporary times? Select and interpret historical and/or current examples that demonstrate the importance of the interconnection between social rights, citizenship, and social justice in sociopolitical practice.
