Abstract:
This thesis has as its general goal to present the importance of the Culture of Peace
examining the Sermon on the Mount in harmony with the Pillars of Bioethics and their
contributions to the promotion of a Culture of Peace. And Education as an
appropriate instrument in divulging and promoting a Culture of Peace with religion as
a strong ally of science in the propagation of peace. The specific goals are: to
present the World Movement of a Culture of Peace; contribute to the study of the
Sermon on the Mount and the pillars of Bioethics in the promotion of the Culture of
Peace; reflect on the role of the school as a propitious space for the implantation of a
Culture of Peace without forgetting its challenges while maintaining hope and faith in
better days; to present some of the challenges of the school today and possible ways
out of the crises of contemporaneity within the schools. The thesis is divided into
three chapters. The first deals with the Culture of Peace. The second is about the
contribution of religion, specifically the Christian religion, through the Sermon on the
Mount proffered by Jesus Christ, and the Pillars of Bioethics. And the last deals with
the school as a propitious space for the implantation of a culture of peace. We
dialogued with: Boff, Dreyfus, Nascimento, Engelmann, Milani, Dias, Noleto,
Rodrigues, Sinner, Waiselfisz, Barchifotaine, Beauchamp, Brakemeier, Comte-
Sponville Cescon and Nodari, Delors, Sales, Gadoti, Estáquio, Martin Lutero, Boock,
D´Ambrósio, Lück, Aranha, Almeida, Chalita, Paulo Freire. The methodology used
was bibliographic, researching in all the pertinent literature, ranging over various
areas of knowledge, as well as in other means of information regarding the theme
which covers all the bibliography already made public, from sporadic publications,
bulletins, newspapers, journals, books, to other research, monographs, theses, etc.
Where appropriate I used oral means of communication: radio, CDs and audio
visuals: films and television. Therefore this research seeks to, in the first moment,
theoretically substantiate, through bibliographic research and through the
interlocution between religion and education, the possibility of behavioral change
among school agents, from the head staff to the door keeper. Certainly, this peace
which we desire is a reflection of the construction of values such as kindness, justice,
equity, humility. The school space can become a propitious space for promoting a
Culture of Peace as the goal of Educating for Peace.
