Spanish article about Spanish youth:

"Como medio masivo y de enorme presencia social, la televisión puede ser considerada como el espacio de comunicación pública de mayor incidencia en el proceso de formación de las opiniones del ciudadano medio así como un marco social de debate y de discusión pública central socialmente en el que se produce la discusión y redefinición de las principales formas de la identidad colectiva. En este sentido, el noticiario televisivo establece criterios de mediación respecto a la representación pública de aquellos referentes de identidad que son comunes y constantes en el conjunto del discurso de actualidad"

This sort of text just isn't my thing ...

as in this example:

****Let's treat the universe of discourse as a set, and assert that ... So far,
we've got constants (which correspond to proper names in natural language) *****...
