O fenômeno do "desinteresse" dentre estudantes da classe baixa

Abstract

Lower-class students, most of whom are black, face major challenges in their training process, as they are the victims of oppression manifested through exclusion and social humiliation. The division of social classes reinforces the idea of the existence of superior and inferior human groups based on the separation between body and mind. Everything is carefully thought out by the dominant classes to make the poor believe they are inferior through the destruction of selfesteem. This process will directly influence the lives of students, especially their expectations for the future. Therefore, this work seeks to understand the phenomenon of disinterest, since it is a reality among students of Brazilian public schools. Since this is a more social problem than an individual one, we will address issues such as social oppression and meritocracy. In addition, we will adopt the autoethnographic method as the best alternative to discuss issues related to the lower class, as it allows me to complement the discussion with practical examples, based on my personal experience, as a black individual, belonging to the lower class.
