Bullying: dimensões psicológicas no desenvolvimento moral

Understanding and assessing the extent of psychological mechanisms that operate in actions of specific violence acts such as bullying can contribute to the discussion of educational interventions that promote moral education as desired by educational institutions. The current research aimed toD correlateD this form of violence called bullying to representations of the self and even to the ways in which the subjects self-regulate themselves in hypothetical situations which pose the problem, thus identifying their moral commitments or non-commitments. The procedures followed to check the presence of these correlationsDindicate that subjects whose self-representations are individualistic are less morally committed and more likely to be perpetrators in bullying situations. This shows that more than a social problem, the issues of coexistence should be treated from a moral perspective.

Cuestiones en torno a la transferencia de la custodia de los documentos entre archivos públicos

This paper discusses the different forms and conditions of incorporating collections from the judiciary by executive bodies. For such, we use the custodial history of the Juízo de Órfãos de São Paulo archives as a reference. An instance of the Brazilian justice between the 16th and 20th centuries, the Juízo de Órfãos de São Paulo is currently fragmented in several institutions of custody and under different denominations. Similarly, other archives from judiciary bodies underwent similar processes for custody transfer. However, this type of situation is not restricted to the past: nowadays, even under legally established norms and guidelines for the implementation of document management programs, it is still possible to find, recurrently, the adoption of similar procedures for the incorporation of collections. We therefore intend to establish a parallel between these two moments and the Brazilian archival legislation in force.

Adesão ao valor justiça em crianças e adolescentes

This search is part of a larger study conducted at the Carlos Chagas Foundation (SP-Brazil), which aims to build a scale to assess adhesion to moral values by basic education students and their teachers. This text addresses only the value of justice. The responses of 111 10-13 year old children and 121 teenagers between 14 and 17 years of age at public and private schools in the city of São Paulo (SP-Brazil) were compared. Among the various topics addressed, some issues of distributive, retributive and commutative justice were selected. In the questionnaire, the alternatives offered were built in increasing stages of decentration from a social perspective inspired by Kohlberg. The results confirmed the two hypotheses that had been raised: there was a progression in the choice of the answers concerning the stages between children and teenagers and there were differences between the three forms of justice considered, in relation to the achievement of higher levels.

Crise de hegemonia e emergência de novos atores na Bolívia: o governo de Evo Morales

The presidency of Evo Morales, indigenous leader and who heads the party Movement Towards Socialism (MAS), opens a series of transformations in several dimensions. The changes in socio-economic and political power express the critic of long-term coloniality relations between a dominant white elite and an indigenous subordinate majority that deepens after national independence. Following this perspective, present in sectors of support to the government, the strategy of the MAS cannot follow the tradition of social revolutions that operated structural breaks in the mode of production and the state organization, but points to a new decolonizing revolution, cultural and political, articulating an indigenism of broad nature, flexible and open to popular social movements. This view is facing critics in sectors of the left that identify the renewal of capitalist modernization process initiated in 1952 under the leadership of the Nationalist Revolutionary Movement (MNR), extending citizenship and democratizing access to the state for recognition of Indians as such. From this perspective, the transformations proposed by MAS tend to favor a system restoration by diversifying its economic and social base. From the contrast provided by these two lines of interpretation, we intend to analyze the structural possibilities of the strategy of the government of Evo Morales, taking as historical reference the transformations wrought by the nationalist revolution of 1952 and the neoliberal reforms initiated in 1980.

Representações de gênero e resolução de conflitos entre jovens na escola

The aim of this research was to investigate how the gender representations by young people affect how they interpret and resolve a situation of moral conflict at school. It starts from the references of the Theory of the Organizing Models of Thinking and of critical perspectives on the studies of gender as contributors of conceptual and methodological aspects in the analysis of the psychic functioning. Information was raised with 400 youngsters (15 to 21 years of age) from public and private schools, who answered in writing four questions about feelings, thoughts, and the duty of the characters (boys or girls) before a situation of homophobia at school. The perspective of the gender in the conflict resolution was analyzed taking into account the sex of the characters and the sex of the participants. The results show that the gender representations have an essential role in the manner in which the youngsters resolve interpersonal conflicts, highlighting the reproduction of stereotypes in the social relations among genders at school.
