Abstract:
Ethical issues are straightly bonded to actions concerning to the conception of a
reflective citizen. Although it is not an easy task, one that aims to practice ethics with
children in primary school seems to be necessary. In the beginning of the 21st
century, Ethics faces touchy issues in which famous institutions common wellness
proposals are doubted and people considered ethical become a mean of anti-ethical
conflicts. Political, business, institutional and social events cause astonishment e
goes against ethic issues. The problem considered in this task is in variance with one
of these institutions, in order to reconsidering its actions by doing an analysis of how
this process started e in which situation it is now and in the occasion it was asked
How does ethics contribute to the professional and citizen development in primary
schools? . Dealing with the task about ethics in primary school is justified in
understanding that the man s development lays on the first age and there is not a
preparation of the future. What is observed is that there is a preparation of the
present, for the habits strongly mark the human behavior. We aim to demonstrate
that the discussions and reflections about ethics in primary school are a crying need
for building a base structure in citizen formation and in the future education praxis.
This task deals with the hypothesis of bringing in education programs in Brazil
without an ethics project. Another hypothesis derives from philosophy in order to
observe if it offers important contributions to understand the ethical subject process
dynamic and if it is possible to establish education references which consider the
complete human development and its professional and social abilities. This paper is
split in three distinct and bonded chapters. The first one intends to identify the ethics
absence and/or its positive evidences in a variety of documents and periods of time
within a historical revision. The second chapter intends to offer an analysis about the
contribution of some philosophers to the man and society development conception,
as well as the interest of how to use those examples for a better society. The third
chapter intends to show strategically how the education mediation must occur mainly
in primary school and which means and actions must be taken in order to allow the
appropriate development of citizens and professionals.
