Violence in School

The school case about a teacher who was aggressed by a student is not surprisingly. In some state schools of the city the work conditions is degenerated each year. But these schools environment conditions where the goal is teaching the relevant for social life are not provided only by good headmasters and pedagogical approach of quality, but yes, mainly standard quality of social life. The problematic students have learning difficulties, and, in addition to that, they are oppressed into studying, if not by their parents when they're under eighteen, also by the work field in their adulthood. But the social conditions of these students remain dreadful. Some parts of town are took over by the poor, without education and with a pessimistic view towards future, and also towards other social classes. These students face social hassle daily, for example, financial problems and unstructured families. The students loose the respect for others, maybe because these students can't feel respect coming from society onto them. The students of many state schools graduate the high school most of the times without knowing the middle school subjects, what doesn't leave the problem on society's back, but also on low rate teachers'. Meanwhile any teacher will ask the question; how to teach a problematic student? - the answer isn't really easy, since it doesn't depend only on the teacher, but also it depends on governmental issues, which I don't mean to cite for I don't have enough political knowledge. The case probably will go to Vara da Infância (child court) and this institution understands all the issues that leads the student to commit these acts, it's what one hopes. To those teachers who really love their profession and reach out knowledge continually for not becoming a classroom furniture, the will for better social conditions what reflects on better work conditions.

The Pope releases a book

sketch by Rafael Carvalho

The pope john paul II released yesterday the book "memory and identity" in various countries, including Brazil. The pope talks about contemporary social issues, polemicals and ideologicals, following to his catholic point of view. The pope talks about abortion, democracy, homosexuality and about the murdering attempt that he went through in early may 13, 1981 when the turkish Mehmet Ali Agca shoot at a distance between two or four meters. The pope also uses terms like "ideologies of evil" when he refers to some of these subjects. Talking about the murdering attempt the pope declares "I think that (the attempt) had been one of the last convulsions of the ideologies outrageous commenced in the XX century", the pope also believes that he was saved by the divine grace, "all of that was the testimonial of the divine grace (...) Agca knew to shoot well and shoot to murder me certainly, but it was like someone had led and diverted that bullet...". The pope also refers to the homosexual marriage as "ideologies of evil, maybe more crafty and covert". He also shows strongly his catholic ideologies when he declares "When a congress authorizes the interruption of a pregnancy it commits a serious outrageous against a innocent human being (...). The congresses that approves and promulgates similar laws shall be aware that they had surpassed their own competencies. setting themselves in confict with God's laws and natural's law". Certainly keen catholics all around the world will love the book which keeps a conservative character, radical to our contemporary social reality in certain points. The science and the evolution of human species are indubitable dichotomies intrinsics and essentials, thus also the church has developed criticizing and creating new concepts. Along the centuries, it's difficult to distinguish which ideologies provoked more nefarious damages to society, the abusive power of democracy (governmental supremacy) or the religious power (catholic supremacy). Both worked with the same purpose using different euphemistic terms, the church talked a lot about evangelising,catholicising the pagan people and the government on the other hand used the term socialization, democracy and like the americans are conditioned to say "the freedom", all of it is a synonymous of bloody colonization, abrupt culture decay and the sad destruction of a nations identity.

It's needed thinking to emancipate

A man can defeat another, but one idea can defeat nations, because the field of ideas is wide and those who go in may get lost between fantasy and reality. those who control the idea may materialize from an imaginary architeture. Therefore it's necessary that people concern about the letters, whereby the ideas turn into reality. If we follow the same paths of thinkers and idea architects, we may opt not to be misled one by another. Thus, it's right to assure that there is a mechanism behind the matters, there is a science behind what we see, consequently it's not right to comply to the first impressions because the results may not be so pleasant. There is an urgency in an influence to reflection, to the pondering, thereby we will not be slaves of anyone, much less slaves of our concepts pre-constructed.

Miracles of Brazil

A white person shrunk,

A mulatto very audacious,

A pitiable white

A mean insolent

The knowledge very dejected

The ignorance is ignorant

Very strong and tiring

Without punishing or contradiction:

Miracles of Brazil are.

The relativity of relationship

In a relationship there's no right or wrong

All is relative

wrong is to say it's right

and it's not right to say it's wrong

the friendship, the act of relating

Sometimes it's good to have nothing to declare

and know to claim in the right time the act of relate

All is worth Except the act of hurt

All is good except all that we understand is negative

what is not good for our friends

we don't wish for our enemies

pondering the interpersonal relationship

I can tell, from my personal learning that in certain interpersonal relationships nobody is better than anybody and also nobody can be considered worse than anybody.It happens by the fact that each person follows their own wishes and temptations as primacy. Therefore, even if someone causes some action to me, they are causing nothing more than an action to themselves. It reflects on the idea that people follow an instinct of self-satisfaction. Thus, it is not possible to level someone better or worse than another person accurately. Note: whether the act is positive or negative, the actor is still a self-centered.

The Brave new world

Passage of the book The brave new world (1932),Aldous Huxley " (...) It's never been right to patch the clothes. Throw them away when they're worn out and buy new ones. 'The more you weave the more you impoverish'. (...) Patching is anti-social".
