A violência na escola e o seu papel de socialização

Abstract

Violence and the school as an object of study is already more established in some countries such as France, however the definition of violence in school still in debate. In Brazil, it s begun to be broached a subject by researchers in recent decades, when violence grew up in big cities and also when the public school system had a major expansion. In this context, violence in school gets social relevance. Given these facts, this research is to analyze the various forms of violence that interact with school dynamics and also change significantly the sociability of those in the institution. The values of the violence culture, such as suspension of other rights and imposition by force or it s threat, are contrary to the values that should be incorporated in school. The school is the main role in the process of socializing new generations, so it should be a place that values the otherness, dialogue and tolerance among all. There is a tension between two types of orientation in the school that represents a great challenge to fulfill its social role of moral and intellectual formation. Likewise, this paper analyzes the violence in the community can play in the school. To do this, I interviewed the teachers and analyze texts written by student from two different institutions of the same school system.
