HUMAN RIGHTS: THE CHILD, THE SCHOOL AND THE DIMENSIONS OF VIOLENCE (Atena Editora)

Abstract

This work deals with the issue of Human Rights, the subject of the child, the school, and the dimensions that violence assumes in society. Violence itself is complex and multicausal, which makes it somewhat difficult to find possibilities to eradicate it, since its dimensions are structural with a strong cultural support since we live in a society that worships violence, individualism and, therefore, does not value life. Demolishing the culture of violence is also a teaching of the school and of the school space, for this it is essential that it reflects and assumes the theme of human rights as a systematic teaching and that must be collectively constructed, guiding the formation of subjects of rights. and that they can effectively express these rights in different spaces of society, thus exercising the principle of being a citizen, that is, citizenship. This work is therefore configured in three parts: Defining the child as a subject of rights who can exercise their citizenship is a necessary and human principle; Defining violence and its dimensions, as well as characterizing it as a heinous and criminal act, is fundamental for a culture that worships and protects life; Combating the web of violence that mostly starts at home and in places that must shelter, protect and socialize people is a task that can only be accomplished by mobilizing a comprehensive protection network in which the SCHOOL stands out as the owner. of social responsibility.
