GOERGEN, Pedro. Systemic violence and education. Roteiro. UNOESC [online]. 2018, vol.43, n.2, pp.385-410. ISSN 2177-6059.  https://doi.org/10.18593/r.v43i2.16840.

In this text, I ask if education, when connected to the neoliberal economic system, becomes co-responsible for the systemic growth of violence. I accept the thesis that education while the process of integration of individuals into this system is connected to the idea of preparing young people not only for the violent world, but also habilitate for the management and exercise of violence as a strategy for survival and personal affirmation. The urgency is defend the formative and humanist task of education, at the same time that it needs to prepare new generations for the real world, with all anti-humanistic aspects inherent to it. At first, I make considerations about violence based on some classical philosophers; after that, I remark on the subject from the perspective of the relationship between people and economic systems, highlighting the domain of the logic of capital over all social relations and spheres of life. Concluding, I try to demonstrate that this theme found at the center of the concerns and debates about the direction of education in context of economic reality governed by the political/economic principles of neoliberalism.
