This article presents the relation between the profession of social work and democracy, presenting the processes that historically provided this adherence to the democratic perspective. It underlines the “turnaround” of social work as a milestone, which was simultaneously the product of a set of political and economic processes that took place at the time in Brazil and in the world, and also produced a series of developments in social work – among them the affirmation of a new social directive, in which democracy is a founding axis. The adoption of a democratic perspective is analyzed in this paper also from the observation of the 1986 and 1993 codes of ethics, explaining the relation with democracy as a perspective and then as an ethical-political principle.

This paper aims to reflect on the practice of plagiarism in academic texts in a Pedagogy Degree Course at a public higher education institution in the state of Rio de Janeiro / Brazil. Therefore, bibliographic research and field research were carried out, using the questionnaire technique, with fifty-three graduates from the last periods of the course. The results show that most of the interviewed undergraduate students understand what plagiarism is, have heard about it at some point during their graduation and have seen plagiarism during their course. On the other hand, many of them have some difficulties in carrying out academic work and, for them, this is one of the factors that lead to the practice of plagiarism, as well as the lack of time and the ease found by the presence of many ready materials on the internet.

In Brazil, the concept of social responsibility has been largely discussed in the past few decades. Due to the polysemy of this notion, in this paper, I sought to discuss and problematize some of its current uses, taking as a case study papers and books in Psychology. To do so, I conducted a literature review on physical and virtual databases and organized the information produced in two analytic frames: the first one presents the ways the notion of social responsibility is addressed in each of the texts and the second presents a synthesis of the previous frames. The analysis of these materials suggests that there are many objectives, justifications, methods and theories that support social responsible practices. So it is important not to only say someone is socially responsible, but explicit what one means when uses this expressions, as well as the epistemological, ontological and political precepts that underlies it.

This paper presents the results of a research devoted to the censored words in stage plays. The studied plays belong to the Archive Miroel Silveira, a collection of censorship processes related to theatre in the State o São Paulo, Brazil, covering from 1925 to 1970. The Archive is object of a wide study project, sponsored by Fapesp, and includes the present research. We classifi ed the cuts and, by its frequency, we reached a quantitative overview, in relation to each censorship type. The comparative observation of frequency allowed us todraw conclusions about the censorship peculiarities and its mobilizations, according to the social or political context. It permitted, as well, to determine aspects of the censorship nature and its social meaning effect. The results of such investigation have been published last year. In this paper we intend to share a few questioning about these results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper we aim to identify and analyze prevalent diagnosis of teachers' health problems, especially those concerning the mental health. The data are acquired of federal university research in expansion-internalization process, which analyzed the impact of the multiple demands of this process at work, related to health and subjectivity. The methodological instrument was composed of: semi-structured interviews with teachers of different areas, campuses and academic units; analysis of documents and data on the expansion; systematization of data on nonattendance due to health problems collected in consultation with the books of medical committee of the institution. We place in order the presentation of such records. On the other hand, we pointed out, to develop the scope limit of the article, qualitative aspects of the disease process and/or suffering with intersections between identified diagnoses and analysis of interviews. We conclude that sickness and suffering involve affective, ethical and political dimensions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In organizations, moral awareness is the understanding of ethical issues involved in decisions and behaviors. Identifying the degree of moral perception helps implement programs to mitigate inadequate social values and codes of ethical conduct . The moral sense represent the individual history and context of the people. Authors examined throughout the article come in one of generational characteristic elements of context and therefore one of the causes of behavior. The aim of the paper is to investigate the occurrence of differences in moral perception among generations in organizations. The survey used 3, 211 questionnaires (secondary data) applied between 2011 and 2012. The results show that the variable "generation" is not decisive for the ethical decisions and allows us to understand that the literature on behavioral standardization of generations on the one hand, points to an important phenomenon from another, original fiction, its use as structured models should be parsimonious.

The experience of evangelical death is recognized as an example of ritual simplicity, removal of death and oblivion of the dead. This classification was built on a comparative basis from the religious universe Funeral Brazilian who is recognized for his ritual exuberance. This paper offers an interpretation of the rite of burial evangelical combining the dual character of his cosmology with emphasis on the morality of his doctrinal system. By observing the movements of approximation (bodies) of lives together and these relative remoteness (the bodies) of the dead intend to demonstrate certain specificities of this ritual while I propose a new way of interpreting the dynamics of the ritual experience.

In this paper we deal with formation of administrators taking into account moral perspective of Nietzsche's superman. It is necessary to analyze this subject in a context of growing capitalist influences in education sector in the last years. We carried out a qualitative study, from descriptive characteristics, based on individual semi-structured interviews with 12 students and five teachers of a business management of a private college located in a Minas Gerais (Brazil) city. Collected data was treated through discourse analysis. Main results suggest that social representations of students and teachers about administrator profession are associated to technical and operational work. On administrator formation, data show a main worry about organizational demands, once they associate success on profession to achievement of company results. Conclusions indicate that, in the context of formation of administrator profession, ethics becomes the purpose ethics, once it is defined by organizational results. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Considering the context in which ethical debate appears in Brazilian education in the 1990s, this paper discusses the role of the National Curricular Guidelines as a way to diffuse ethics in school education. Based on Perelman and Meyer's works it also approaches the philosophical debate between foundationistic and non-foundationistc views in ethics, aiming to show that it is possible to overcome dualistic thought and contribute to increase human relationships in the course of social existence. It also aims to show that in the context of teaching practice it is desirable to work with reasonable answers and not with exhaustive ones that might help to dogmatic conceptions, not problem-solving, about ethics.

For more than four decades Brazil lived with the Social and Political Order Departments (DEOPS), agencies dedicated to the accompaniment and combat of subversion. Large documentation on its archives allows the verification of the violence committed against the common citizen, still not much studied: from mail violation to the processing of false information, many times given by informers with criminal problems and without any preparation. The DEOPS/SP shelters an archive -- with about 15 tons of paper -- which includes dossiers, handbooks, informs, photographs, clippings of periodicals and several other publications. This article congregates documentation extracted from the DEOPS/SP archives to characterize: how the Department worked and how the cooperation between the agencies of intelligence was; the origin of the processed information and the strength of such registers in the daily lives of citizens, and of educational and religious institutions.
