The alienation of people is the main weapon used by the holders of the means of production and political power to prevent public awareness of the economic and political serfdom in which it is subjected and it results in the rebellion against the inhuman economic and political systems in force. Jean-François Brient, French, professor of literature, history and Latin, is author of the documentary Modern Serfdom whose text is presented in the article with the same title available on the website <http: />. This article, a summary of which is presented in the paragraphs below, is a libel or denunciation against the execrable political, economic and social system we live in the world that leads to serfdom of man.

1. This document discusses the relationship between capitalism, class society, and the exploitation and abuse of animals. It argues that capitalism has enmeshed all life on Earth in a global economy based on profit and exchange, subjecting both humans and animals to suffering and death for economic gain.
2. In early human societies before the rise of class society and capitalism, humans lived in small, autonomous communal groups where goods were shared and activities were undertaken collectively. Humans' relationship with animals was very different, as hunting and meat consumption played a smaller role, and plant-based foods accounted for most of the diet.
3. The development of capitalism depended in part on the abuse and domination of animals. A communist movement
This document summarizes an essay by Steven Best that argues for greater cooperation between the animal liberation movement and the political left. It provides background on the animal advocacy movement, including its origins in animal welfare and the emergence of animal rights and liberation philosophies. Best asserts that human and animal liberation are interrelated and the left could benefit from engaging with animal rights perspectives in working to end all forms of hierarchy, domination, and environmental destruction.
Consiquences Of Phylosophies Human Mind Developed Beside RevealationsFawad Kiyani
Human philosophies and pagan religions have deviated from divine revelations and led to harmful consequences. Materialist philosophies promoted by figures like Charles Darwin, Karl Marx, and others suggested life emerged through natural processes alone and there is no God or afterlife. These ideas helped justify racism, eugenics policies, and ideologies like Nazism and communism that caused widespread death and suffering. Divine scriptures warn that deviating from monotheistic belief systems leads societies astray and ends badly.
In defense of a new enlightenment project to end the human calvary in the worldFernando Alcoforado
This article aims to demonstrate the need for a new Enlightenment project to end the calvary in which humanity is subjected throughout history that reached its highest level during the existence of capitalism in the contemporary era, striving for the construction of a new model of society that provides benefits for all human beings. Calvary means martyrdom, suffering. An observer attentive to what happens in the world realizes the calvary suffered by humanity throughout history. This calvary is characterized by the exploitation of man by man with slavery during Antiquity, serfdom during feudalism in the Middle Ages and wage labor during capitalism from the 12th century to the contemporary era that contributes to the growth of social inequalities, the increase in crime and violence among human beings, the restriction of political freedoms in many countries and the escalation of international conflicts and terrorism.
1. This document summarizes a book about the role of animals in Brazilian society from the 16th to 19th centuries. It describes how indigenous peoples, Europeans, and Africans interacted with and used local animals for food, medicine, labor, clothing, entertainment, and religion.
2. Iconographic evidence from the period, like drawings, prints, and paintings, provides valuable insight into human-animal relationships and the integration of animals into daily life. Animals are depicted in hunting scenes, markets, homes, and landscapes.
3. The book is divided into chapters examining the use of local wildlife as a food source for colonists, traditional animal-based medicines, the whale fishing and hunting industries, the introduction
The document discusses the concept of modern law and its relationship to myth. It argues that modern law emerged from Enlightenment thinking which sought to separate law from myth and religion. However, modern law is still based on founding myths about concepts like the social contract and nationalism. It also marginalizes groups and legal systems not conforming to its own mythic foundations. While modern law denies its mythic roots, attempts to repress myth have allowed "monsters from the past to re-emerge in different forms in the present."

Controversies on the change of the united states in the world with donald trumpFernando Alcoforado
The document discusses two opposing views on Donald Trump's potential presidency:
1) Raphael Godet argues that Trump will not be able to implement extreme policies due to political and practical constraints like building a border wall.
2) Margaux Duguet lists 5 factors for concern about Trump's presidency, including his inexperience, control over Congress, views on women, foreign policy plans, and economic program.
The author believes Margaux Duguet's arguments are more consistent and Trump will likely pursue his campaign promises to not disappoint voters.

2) Ao longo da história da República, os governos alternaram entre períodos democráticos e ditadurais, e os interesses privados frequentemente prevaleceram sobre o interesse público.
3) Atualmente, a democracia brasileira enfrenta desafios como a corrupção e o financiamento privado das campanhas eleitor
The bologna project of higher education of the european union and the project...Fernando Alcoforado
The Bologna Declaration which triggered the so-called Bologna Process - is a joint document signed on June 19, 1999 by the Education Ministers of 29 European countries gathered in the Italian city of Bologna. The statement marks a change from the policies related to higher education of the countries involved and established in common a European Area of Higher Education from the commitment of the signatory countries in promoting reform of their education systems. Inspired by the Bologna Project of higher education of European Union, it was restructured UFBA. The main change planned is the introduction of Bachelor degrees Interdisciplinary (BI), undergraduate courses that are requirements for graduate careers and academic education postgraduate.
The national outcry against the permanence of Dilma Rousseff in power is considered by politicians linked to PT (Workers Party) as a coup d'etat attempt by comparing the current situation to the situation experienced by presidents Getúlio Vargas in 1954 and Joao Goulart in 1964. It is a attempt to save a dying government that has completely lost the ability to govern the nation because only count on the support of 7% of the population according to recent research. Unlike Vargas and Goulart governments which marked their actions in defense of national interests and workers, the Dilma Rousseff government as its predecessor, Lula, is characterized by the lack of commitment of both government and PT with the great struggles of the Brazilian people taken along the last 50 years, a historical inconsistency traitor. It can be seen from this article that the alleged coup d'etat that was being articulated against Dilma Rousseff bears no resemblance to the coup d'etat that led to the suicide of Getulio Vargas and the deposition of João Goulart. Unlike Vargas and Goulart governments, the Dilma Rousseff government is submissive to the national and international financial capital, and devastate the Brazilian economy.
The refugee crisis is the tragic result of a criminal policy of war and military intervention for regime change, implemented by the United States and the European Union in Afghanistan, Iraq, Sudan, Libya and, above all, Syria. What the world witness today, with thousands of desperate refugees trying to reach Europe, it is the effect of this policy, maintained by the major Western powers. In more than a decade, Afghanistan wars and Iraq, waged under the pretext of being "against terrorism", and justified on the infamous lies about "Iraqi weapons of mass destruction", devastated whole societies and killed hundreds of thousands of men, women and children. To these wars followed the war for regime change - led by the United States and NATO - which overthrew the government of Muammar Gaddafi and turned Libya into a country of mockery, with virtually no government, wracked by continuous fighting between rival militias. This was followed by civil war in Syria - fueled, armed and financed by the US government and its European allies, aiming to topple Bashar Al-Assad and replace him with an obedient puppet to Western powers.
This article presents the findings related to the analysis of education systems of Finland, South Korea, Japan, Cuba, the United States, China, France and Bologna Project of High Education of European Union taking as a basis articles: Finlândia: paradigma da educação no mundo (Finland: paradigm of education in the world), Finlândia: paradigma da educação no mundo (2) (Finland: paradigm of education in the world - 2), Bases do sucesso da educação na Coreia do Sul e no Japão (Bases of success of the education in South Korea and Japan), Os fatores de sucesso das políticas de educação na Finlândia e na Coreia do Sul (The success factors of education policies in Finland and South Korea), O sistema de educação em Cuba (The education system in Cuba), O sistema de educação dos Estados Unidos (The US education system), O sistema de educação da China (The education system in China), O sistema de educação da França (The education system in France) and the Projeto Bolonha de ensino superior da União Europeia e da Universidade Nova no Brasil (The Bologna project of higher education of the European Union and the project of New University in Brazil) published in Falcoforado Blog (http: // fernando.alcoforado.zip.net).
Political scenarios of brazil after dilma rousseff governmentFernando Alcoforado
Before the deep economic crisis that leads to Brazil's economy to stagflation, the policy and managerial inability of the federal government to manage the destinies of the nation and the widespread corruption that dominates the country is being put on the agenda the possibility of impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff's. Currently, there is a national clamor for the removal of Dilma Rousseff of the Presidency either through impeachment or a military intervention.
It can be said that the capitulation of the Greek government is a gigantic wear to the far left in Europe and in the world and that only uncompromising believers will get serious again any party of the extreme left which has the campaign platform to face the international financial capital. Syriza repeat failure of the leftist parties in the world, including Brazil with Lula and Dilma Rousseff governments which submitted to the dictates of finance capital. This was a victory of great importance for the European Union because sagged Tsipras who was elected on the promise to oppose the austerity programs imposed by the Troika to the Greek government.
The most important historical events in Brazil found an answer that was configured on the explicit intention of keeping outside of decisions, classes and social strata "from low" to "conciliation by the high" as with the Independence and the Abolition of Slavery or the realization of coups d´état, when the "conciliation by the high" has become impossible as occurred in the Proclamation of the Republic, in the 1930 revolution and the deployment of the military dictatorship in 1964. It can be said that the changes occurred in the history of Brazil not was the result of authentic revolutions, movements from the bottom to up, involving the whole population, but always made their way through a compromise between the representatives of the economically dominant groups or conducting coups d´état when conciliation was not possible. The "conciliation by the high" is consequence, therefore, fundamentally from fragile role of the Brazilian people which results, on the one hand, by the absence of political parties and reliable leaders with proposals capable of galvanizing the vast majority of the population and, on the other, the policy alienation of the population. Without the leadership of the Brazilian people in defining the direction of the Brazilian society, Brazil will not turn into a developed country.
Climate change causes rise global risks of hunger, floods and conflicts, warns the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in its latest report entitled Climate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability available on website <http: />. This report states that the catastrophic effects of climate change must take place, for the most part, by inadequate preparation for coping with risks. The IPCC document details the impacts of climate change, future risks and opportunities for the adoption of effective measures to reduce the risks. It concludes that the response to climate change involves making appropriate choices to face the risks in a world that is constantly changing.
O documento discute como a cidade de Nova Iorque entrou em bancarrota em 1975 devido à perda de empregos industriais e queda na arrecadação de impostos. Após a bancarrota, os banqueiros assumiram o controle financeiro da cidade e transformaram Nova Iorque em um centro global de serviços financeiros, priorizando os interesses das instituições financeiras em detrimento da população.
O sistema econômico (enquanto atividade produtiva) deveria estar submetida a um sistema maior chamado ambiente, e não o contrário. É questionável, portanto, o fato de ainda prevalecer no ensino das ciências econômicas, o paradigma que insiste em orientar tal campo do conhecimento baseando, como pressuposto de análise geral, apenas a visão do diagrama de fluxo circular, envolvendo empresas e famílias, de um lado, e os mercados de bens e serviços e de fatores de produção, de outro. Dessa visão estreita do sistema econômico sobre um fluxo circular “fechado” que não permite inputs do ambiente e outputs para o ambiente, é importante destacar que o diagrama do fluxo circular apresenta uma visão irreal de qualquer economia, por considerá-la como um sistema isolado no qual nada entra do meio ambiente natural e nada sai para o meio ambiente natural, uma vez que nessa concepção nada existe no exterior dele mesmo.
A China é ainda país integrante da semiperiferia do sistema- mundo capitalista porque se trata de uma região de desenvolvimento intermediário que funciona como um centro para a periferia e uma periferia para o centro. O desenvolvimento alcançado pela China não pode ser considerado como autônomo porque, apesar do papel ativo desempenhado pelo Estado chinês, suas elevadas taxas de crescimento obtidas após a ascensão ao poder de Deng Xiao-Ping se deveu em grande medida à adesão e incorporação do país ao sistema-mundo capitalista. Sobretudo, a partir da década de 1990, a China atraiu as grandes empresas multinacionais que lá se instalaram para usufruir do gigantesco mercado deste país, da mão de obra barata e das facilidades fiscais oferecidas pelo governo. O próprio governo da China se tornou também sócio de vários empreendimentos das empresas multinacionais no país. É possível que, no futuro, não havendo grandes acidentes de percurso, a China possa evoluir da condição de país semiperiférico para a de país do centro da economia mundial capitalista como ocorreu com o Japão após a Segunda Guerra Mundial.
A ciência e a contribuição da matemática em seu desenvolvimentoFernando Alcoforado
A Matemática é a ciência do raciocínio lógico que tem seu desenvolvimento ligado à pesquisa, ao interesse por descobrir o novo e investigar situações de alta complexidade. A escalada da Matemática teve início na Antiguidade quando foi despertado o interesse pelos cálculos e números em função da necessidade do homem de relacionar os acontecimentos naturais ao seu cotidiano. Atualmente, a Matemática consiste na ciência mais importante do mundo moderno porque ela está presente em todas as áreas científicas.
1) O documento discute as medidas econômicas do governo Michel Temer para lidar com a crise econômica no Brasil e sugere alternativas.
2) Argumenta que as medidas de Temer, como o congelamento de gastos por 20 anos, não resolverão o problema e aprofundarão a recessão.
3) Defende que é necessário reduzir drasticamente os juros e renegociar a dívida pública para retomar o crescimento.
This document discusses elements that could represent a utopian society, including religious beliefs centered around God. It describes how in the Bible, before sin, Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden which could be considered a utopia as they spent time with God and lived according to His principles of love, compassion, and mercy. However, the document notes that a perfect utopia is not possible in the real world.
THE COLLAPSES THAT THREATEN HUMANITY IN THE 21ST CENTURY AND HOW TO AVOID THE...Faga1939
The document discusses several experts who predict collapses of capitalism, globalization, the environment, society, and civilization overall in the 21st century. These include Immanuel Wallerstein, Michael Roberts, José Eustáquio Diniz Alves, John Casti, and Edgar Morin. They warn of threats like economic crisis, wars, climate change, loss of biodiversity, pandemics, and infrastructure breakdown. The document argues that these looming collapses can only be avoided by establishing a democratic world government that can govern and control systems to prevent harmful consequences for humanity.
This document contains a collection of essays discussing various issues related to the development of artificial intelligence. In the first essay, the author argues that creating AI by integrating human brain parts (the "cyborg solution") presents clear dangers, as such a hybrid may inherit human traits like aggression, hatred and a desire for revenge or justice. The second essay discusses how diversity of ideas from different cultures and backgrounds will be important for innovation and the development of new species like AI. The third essay outlines three options for how AI may interact with humanity as a new emerging species: it could ignore humans, destroy humans, or parasitize humans.
The document analyzes George Romero's 1978 film Dawn of the Dead and how it criticizes consumer culture. It argues that the zombies represent mindless consumers, drawn instinctually to the shopping mall where they once consumed. The surviving humans isolate themselves in the mall but lose their ability to productively labor, regressing to a more primitive state as they become obsessed with consuming the mall's resources. The film suggests that without productive labor, humans can no longer progress and will ultimately fail to realize utopian visions of the future.
The document discusses differing theories on human nature, with John Locke arguing that human nature is a blank slate shaped entirely by experience, while Edward Wilson believes innate genes and evolutionary biology also influence human nature. While acknowledging the role of experience, the author argues Wilson's position is more reasonable as scientific research has found evidence of innate traits being passed down from parents to children, and personal experience shows their own and sister's differing personalities correlate with traits from their mother and father respectively.
Degrowth and inequality : the link between ecological and social crisisDegrowth Conference
This document summarizes Hervé Kempf's presentation on the link between ecological and social crises. [1] The growing inequality between the very rich oligarchy and the rest of society is exacerbating environmental damage because the oligarchy sets a culture of excessive consumption. [2] Reducing consumption by the wealthy elite would help address both social injustice and environmental degradation by lowering overall resource use and inspiring less wasteful social norms. [3] Tackling inequality is thus key to averting deeper ecological and economic crises.

3) Defende que é necessário reduzir drasticamente os juros e renegociar a dívida pública para retomar o crescimento.
This document discusses elements that could represent a utopian society, including religious beliefs centered around God. It describes how in the Bible, before sin, Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden which could be considered a utopia as they spent time with God and lived according to His principles of love, compassion, and mercy. However, the document notes that a perfect utopia is not possible in the real world.
THE COLLAPSES THAT THREATEN HUMANITY IN THE 21ST CENTURY AND HOW TO AVOID THE...Faga1939
The document discusses several experts who predict collapses of capitalism, globalization, the environment, society, and civilization overall in the 21st century. These include Immanuel Wallerstein, Michael Roberts, José Eustáquio Diniz Alves, John Casti, and Edgar Morin. They warn of threats like economic crisis, wars, climate change, loss of biodiversity, pandemics, and infrastructure breakdown. The document argues that these looming collapses can only be avoided by establishing a democratic world government that can govern and control systems to prevent harmful consequences for humanity.
This document contains a collection of essays discussing various issues related to the development of artificial intelligence. In the first essay, the author argues that creating AI by integrating human brain parts (the "cyborg solution") presents clear dangers, as such a hybrid may inherit human traits like aggression, hatred and a desire for revenge or justice. The second essay discusses how diversity of ideas from different cultures and backgrounds will be important for innovation and the development of new species like AI. The third essay outlines three options for how AI may interact with humanity as a new emerging species: it could ignore humans, destroy humans, or parasitize humans.
The document analyzes George Romero's 1978 film Dawn of the Dead and how it criticizes consumer culture. It argues that the zombies represent mindless consumers, drawn instinctually to the shopping mall where they once consumed. The surviving humans isolate themselves in the mall but lose their ability to productively labor, regressing to a more primitive state as they become obsessed with consuming the mall's resources. The film suggests that without productive labor, humans can no longer progress and will ultimately fail to realize utopian visions of the future.
The document discusses differing theories on human nature, with John Locke arguing that human nature is a blank slate shaped entirely by experience, while Edward Wilson believes innate genes and evolutionary biology also influence human nature. While acknowledging the role of experience, the author argues Wilson's position is more reasonable as scientific research has found evidence of innate traits being passed down from parents to children, and personal experience shows their own and sister's differing personalities correlate with traits from their mother and father respectively.
Degrowth and inequality : the link between ecological and social crisisDegrowth Conference
This document summarizes Hervé Kempf's presentation on the link between ecological and social crises. [1] The growing inequality between the very rich oligarchy and the rest of society is exacerbating environmental damage because the oligarchy sets a culture of excessive consumption. [2] Reducing consumption by the wealthy elite would help address both social injustice and environmental degradation by lowering overall resource use and inspiring less wasteful social norms. [3] Tackling inequality is thus key to averting deeper ecological and economic crises.
1. This document discusses the political and social movements in the early 19th century, including liberalism, revolutionary movements, and utopian socialism.
2. Liberalism promoted both economic freedom and individual liberty. Early revolutionary movements in the 1820s included the Carbonari in Italy and the Greek Revolt against the Ottoman Empire. The Revolution of 1830 in France ousted the Bourbon monarchy.
3. Utopian socialists like Fourier, Cabet, Owen, and Blanc imagined alternative social systems to address the problems of early industrialization, including workers' rights and the emancipation of women.
A Society A Sociological Interpretation Of Animal Farm (George Orwell)Pedro Craggett
1) The document provides a sociological analysis of George Orwell's Animal Farm by examining how the society depicted aligns with various sociological theories. It analyzes how the farm under Jones represents a capitalist society, and how the rebellion represents ideas from Marx and Durkheim.
2) As the new society is established, principles are created but hierarchy still develops as the pigs take on leadership roles. By the end, Napoleon has established a totalitarian regime similar to the one under Jones.
3) In conclusion, the analysis argues that some form of hierarchy is necessary for a functioning society but safeguards are needed to prevent exploitation and inequality from developing, as seen by the outcome of the society in Animal Farm.

Este artigo tem por objetivo demonstrar que o povo brasileiro vive o inferno representado pelas catástrofes políticas, econômicas, sociais e ambientais que estão conduzindo o País a um desastre humanitário sem precedentes em sua história de gigantescas proporções. A catástrofe política no Brasil poderá ocorrer com o fim do processo democrático resultante da escalada do fascismo na sociedade pela ação do presidente Jair Bolsonaro que busca colocar em prática sua proposta de governo tipicamente fascista baseada no culto explícito da ordem, na violência de Estado, em práticas autoritárias de governo, no desprezo social por grupos vulneráveis e fragilizados e no anticomunismo. Soma-se à catástrofe política, a catástrofe econômica caracterizada pela estagnação da economia brasileira que amarga uma recessão em 2020 agravada pela pandemia do novo coronavirus porque o PIB caiu 4,1% em relação ao de 2019, a menor taxa da série histórica, iniciada em 1996, bem como com a taxa de desemprego em patamar recorde de 14,8 milhões de pessoas em busca de emprego no País. A catástrofe social se manifesta no fato de o governo Bolsonaro nada fazer para reduzir as taxas de desemprego reativando a economia, atuar em prejuízo dos interesses dos trabalhadores promovendo medidas contra os direitos sociais da população e contribuir para o número elevado de infectados e mortos pelo coronavirus no Brasil ao sabotar o combate ao vírus. Finalmente, a catástrofe ambiental se manifesta no fato de o governo Bolsonaro contribuir para a inação de órgãos governamentais responsáveis pela fiscalização contra as agressões ao meio ambiente, abrir caminho para atividades de mineração, agricultura, pecuária e madeireira na Floresta Amazônica e afastar o Brasil do Acordo do Clima de Paris.
Cet article vise à démontrer que le peuple brésilien vit l'enfer représenté par les catastrophes politiques, économiques, sociales et environnementales qui conduisent le pays à une catastrophe humanitaire sans précédent dans son histoire aux proportions gigantesques. La catastrophe politique au Brésil pourrait survenir avec la fin du processus démocratique résultant de l'escalade du fascisme dans la société par l'action du président Jair Bolsonaro, qui cherche à mettre en pratique sa proposition de gouvernement typiquement fasciste. fondée sur le culte explicite de l'ordre, la violence d'État, les pratiques gouvernementales autoritaires, le mépris social pour les groupes vulnérables et fragiles et l'anticommunisme. Outre la catastrophe politique, la catastrophe économique caractérisée par la stagnation de l'économie brésilienne après une récession en 2020, aggravée par la nouvelle pandémie de coronavirus, car le PIB a baissé de 4,1% par rapport à 2019, le taux le plus bas du série historique, commencée en 1996, ainsi qu'avec le taux de chômage à un niveau record de 14,8 millions de personnes à la recherche d'un emploi dans le pays.La catastrophe sociale se manifeste par le fait que le gouvernement Bolsonaro ne fait rien pour réduire les taux de chômage en réactivant la économique, agissant au détriment des intérêts des travailleurs, promouvant des mesures contre les droits sociaux de la population et contribuant au nombre élevé de personnes infectées et tuées par le coronavirus au Brésil en sabotant la lutte contre le virus. Enfin, la catastrophe environnementale se manifeste par le fait que le gouvernement Bolsonaro contribue à l'inaction des agences gouvernementales chargées de surveiller les agressions contre l'environnement, ouvrant la voie aux activités minières, agricoles, d'élevage et d'exploitation forestière dans la forêt amazonienne et retirant le Brésil de l'Accord de Paris sur le climat.
Cet article a pour objectif de présenter et d'analyser le rapport du Groupe d'experts intergouvernemental sur l'évolution du climat (GIEC), agence liée à l'ONU, rendu public le 9 août 2021 à travers lequel il montre l'ensemble des connaissances acquises depuis la publication de son précédent rapport en 2014 sur le climat de la planète Terre. 234 auteurs de 66 pays ont examiné plus de 14 000 études scientifiques et leur travail a été reçu avec plus de 78 000 commentaires et observations de chercheurs et d'experts qui travaillant pour les 195 gouvernements auxquels ce travail est destiné. Ce rapport révèle une connaissance approfondie du climat passé, présent et futur de la Terre. Le résumé de ce rapport est à lire dans l'article Selon le GIEC, le changement climatique est irréversible, mais peut encore être corrigé disponible sur le site <https://www.sciencesetavenir.fr/nature-environnement/climat/selon-le-giec-le-changement-climatique-s-accelere-est-irreversible-mais-peut-etre-corrige_156431>. Alors que peut-on faire pour éviter cette catastrophe climatique ? La solution est de réduire de moitié les émissions mondiales de gaz à effet de serre d'ici 2030 et de zéro émission nette d'ici le milieu de ce siècle pour arrêter et éventuellement inverser la hausse des températures. La réduction à zéro des émissions nettes consiste à réduire autant que possible les émissions de gaz à effet de serre en utilisant les technologies propres et les énergies renouvelables, ainsi que comme capter et stocker le carbone, ou l'absorber en plantant des arbres. Très probablement, le monde ne réussira pas à empêcher d'autres changements climatiques en raison de l'absence d'un système de gouvernance mondiale capable d'empêcher l'augmentation du réchauffement climatique et le changement climatique catastrophique résultant de l'impuissance de l'ONU.
AQUECIMENTO GLOBAL, MUDANÇA CLIMÁTICA GLOBAL E SEUS IMPACTOS SOBRE A SAÚDE HU...Fernando Alcoforado
Este artigo tem por objetivo apresentar os impactos do aquecimento global e da consequente mudança climática sobre a saúde humana e as soluções que permitam evitar suas maléficas consequências contra a humanidade. Para alcançar este objetivo, é necessário promover uma transformação profunda da sociedade atual que tem sido extremamente destruidora das condições de vida do planeta. Diante disso, é imprescindível que seja edificada uma sociedade sustentável substituindo o atual modelo econômico dominante em todo o mundo por outro que leve em conta o homem integrado com o meio ambiente, com a natureza, ou seja, o modelo de desenvolvimento sustentável. Foi analisado o Acordo de Paris com base na COP 21 organizada pela ONU através do qual 195 países e a União Europeia definiram como a humanidade lutará contra o aquecimento global nas próximas décadas, bem como foi analisada literatura relacionada com o aquecimento global e a mudança climática para extrair as conclusões que apontam como substituir o modelo de desenvolvimento atual pelo modelo de desenvolvimento sustentável.
GLOBAL WARMING, GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE AND ITS IMPACTS ON HUMAN HEALTHFernando Alcoforado
This article aims to present the impacts of global warming and the consequent global climate change on human health and the solutions to avoid its harmful consequences against humanity. In order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to promote a profound transformation of current society, which has been extremely destructive of the planet's living conditions. Therefore, it is essential to build a sustainable society, replacing the current dominant economic model throughout the world with one that takes into account man integrated with the environment, with nature, that is, the model of sustainable development. The Paris Agreement was analyzed based on the COP 21 organized by the UN through which 195 countries and the European Union defined how humanity will fight global warming in the coming decades, as well as was analyzed literature related to global warming and climate change to extract the conclusions that point out how to replace the current development model with the sustainable development model.
LE RÉCHAUFFEMENT CLIMATIQUE, LE CHANGEMENT CLIMATIQUE MONDIAL ET SES IMPACTS ...Fernando Alcoforado
Cet article a pour objectif de présenter les impacts du réchauffement climatique et du changement climatique qui en découle sur la santé humaine et les solutions pour éviter ses conséquences néfastes contre l'humanité. Pour atteindre cet objectif, il est nécessaire de promouvoir une transformation profonde de la société d'aujourd'hui qui a été extrêmement destructrice des conditions de vie sur la planète. Il est donc essentiel de construire une société durable, en remplaçant le modèle économique actuel dominant à travers le monde par un autre qui prenne en compte l'homme intégré à l'environnement, à la nature, c'est-à-dire le modèle de développement durable. L'Accord de Paris a été analysé sur la base de la COP 21 organisée par l'ONU à travers laquelle 195 pays et l'Union européenne ont défini comment l'humanité luttera contre le réchauffement climatique dans les prochaines décennies, ainsi que a été analysée la littérature liée au réchauffement climatique et au changement climatique pour extraire les conclusions qui indiquent comment remplacer le modèle de développement actuel par le modèle de développement durable.
Cet article a trois objectifs : 1) démontrer qu'il y a un changement drastique du climat de la Terre grâce au réchauffement climatique, qui contribue à la survenue d'inondations dans les villes aux effets de plus en plus catastrophiques ; 2) proposer des mesures pour lutter contre le changement climatique mondial ; et 3) proposer des mesures pour préparer les villes à faire face à des événements météorologiques extrêmes. Récemment, des inondations se sont produites qui exposent la vulnérabilité des villes d'Europe et de Chine aux conditions météorologiques les plus extrêmes. Après les inondations qui ont fait des morts en Allemagne, en Belgique et en Chine, le message a été renforcé que des changements importants sont nécessaires pour préparer les villes à faire face à des événements similaires à l'avenir. Les gouvernements doivent admettre que les infrastructures qu'ils ont construites dans le passé pour les villes, même à une époque plus récente, sont vulnérables à ces phénomènes météorologiques extrêmes. Pour faire face aux inondations qui deviendront de plus en plus fréquentes, les gouvernements doivent agir simultanément dans trois directions : la première est de lutter contre le changement climatique mondial ; le second est de préparer les villes à faire face à des événements météorologiques extrêmes et le troisième est de mettre en œuvre une société durable aux niveaux national et mondial.
This article has three objectives: 1) to demonstrate that there is a drastic change in the Earth's climate thanks to global warming, which is contributing to the occurrence of floods in cities that are increasingly catastrophic in their effects; 2) propose measures to combat global climate change; and 3) propose measures to prepare cities to face extreme weather events. Recently, floods have occurred that expose the vulnerability of cities in Europe and China to the most extreme weather. After the floods that killed people in Germany, Belgium and China, the message was reinforced that significant changes are needed to prepare cities to face similar events in the future. Governments need to admit that the infrastructure they built in the past for cities, even in more recent times, is vulnerable to these extreme weather events. To deal with the floods that will become more and more frequent, governments need to act simultaneously in three directions: the first is to combat global climate change; the second is to prepare cities to face extreme weather events and the third is to implement a sustainable society at the national and global levels.
Este artigo tem três objetivos: 1) demonstrar que está havendo uma mudança drástica no clima da Terra graças ao aquecimento global que está contribuindo para a ocorrência de inundações nas cidades que se repetem de forma cada vez mais catastrófica em seus efeitos; 2) propor medidas para combater a mudança climática global; e, 3) propor medidas visando preparar as cidades para enfrentar eventos climáticos extremos. Recentemente, ocorreram enchentes que expõem a vulnerabilidade das cidades da Europa e da China ao clima mais extremo. Depois das enchentes que mataram pessoas na Alemanha, Bélgica e China foi reforçada a mensagem de que são necessárias mudanças significativas para preparar as cidades para enfrentar eventos similares no futuro. Os governos precisam admitir que a infraestrutura que construíram no passado para as cidades, mesmo em tempos mais recentes, é vulnerável a esses eventos de clima extremo. Para lidar com as inundações que serão cada vez mais frequentes, os governos precisam agir simultaneamente em três direções: a primeira consiste em combater a mudança climática global; a segunda consiste em preparar as cidades para enfrentar eventos extremos no clima e a terceira consiste em implantar uma sociedade sustentável nas esferas nacional e global.

Este artigo tem por objetivo demonstrar que as eleições de 2022 são decisivas para o futuro do Brasil porque que o povo brasileiro terá que decidir entre os valores da civilização e da democracia ou os da barbárie e do fascismo defendidos pelos candidatos à Presidência da República. É preciso observar que a Civilização é considerada o estágio mais avançado que uma sociedade humana pode alcançar do ponto de vista político, econômico, social, cultural, científico e tecnológico. O contrário de civilização é a Barbárie que é a condição daquilo que é selvagem, cruel, desumano e grosseiro, ou seja, quem ou o que é tido como bárbaro que atenta contra o progresso político, econômico, social, cultural, científico e tecnológico. A barbárie sempre se caracterizou ao longo da história da humanidade por grupos que usam a força e a crueldade para alcançar seus objetivos.

It should be noted that Civilization is considered the most advanced stage that a human society can reach from a political, economic, social, cultural, scientific and technological point of view. The opposite of civilization is Barbarism, which is the condition of what is savage, cruel, inhuman and coarse, that is, who or what is considered barbaric that attacks political, economic, social, cultural, scientific and technological progress. Barbarism has always been characterized throughout human history by groups that use force and cruelty to achieve their goals.

1. 1
MODERN TOTALITARIANISM AND HUMAN SERFDOM
Fernando Alcoforado *
The alienation of people is the main weapon used by the holders of the means of
production and political power to prevent population awareness of the economic and
political serfdom in which she is subjected and it results in the rebellion against the
inhuman economic and political systems in force. Jean-François Brient, French,
professor of literature, history and Latin, is author of the documentary Modern Serfdom
whose text is presented in the article with the same title available on the website
<http://www.delaservitudemoderne.org/texto- po.html>. This article, a summary of
which is presented in the paragraphs below, is a libel or denunciation against the
execrable political, economic and social system we live in the world that leads to
serfdom of man. In Chapter I (epigraph), the author claims to have "the certainty that
this civilization will crumble and what it does to drag us in his fall".
In Chapter II (A voluntary serfdom), Jean-François Brient says that modern serfdom is a
voluntary slavery, accepted by that crowd of slaves that crawl the Earth. They
themselves choose the masters whom shall serve. For this absurd tragedy could be
successful, it had to remove human beings the ability to become aware of the
exploitation and alienation they suffer. Today we are faced with completely enslaved
human beings who do not understand what is happening, or rather who are unable to
understand the reality in which they live. Accept without question the pitiful life that
was planned for them. So here is the nightmare of modern slaves who get carried away
by the macabre dance of prevailing alienation system. Oppression modernizes extending
all over the world forms of mystification that allow conceal our condition as slaves.
In Chapter III (A territorial organization and habitat), Jean-François Brient says that as
man builds his world with the force of alienated labor, the scene of this world with its
chaotic territorial organization becomes the prison where he will have to live. This
scenario is in eternal construction. Nothing in it is stable. It is doing all the system
image: the world becomes each day increasingly dirty and noisy, like a factory. The
world must be transformed into a huge highway, rationalized to the extreme, to facilitate
the transport of goods. Every obstacle, human or natural, must be destroyed. The
environment where crowds this servile mass is a true reflection of his life: resembling
cages, the prisons, the caves. But unlike the slaves and prisoners of the past, explored in
modern times must pay for his cage.
In Chapter IV (The goods), the author states that is in this narrow and dismal place
where the modern slave builds new goods which should, according to the omnipresent
advertising, bring his happiness and fulfillment. But the more there is accumulation of
goods plus the modern slave away from the opportunity to be happy. The merchandise,
ideological in essence, divests of his work whom produces the goods and divests of his
life whom consumes the goods. In the dominant economic system, is no longer demand
that determines the offer, but the offer that determines the demand. So, periodically,
needs arise that are quickly regarded as vital to the majority of the population: first was
the radio after the car, the television, the computer and now the mobile phone.
In Chapter V (The feeding), Jean-François Brient says that, it is when it feeds the
modern slave illustrates the state of decay in which he lies. Disposing an increasingly
limited time to prepare the food that he consumes, he is forced to swallow fast what the
agrochemical industry produces. Plenty of food products conceal its degradation and
2. 2
falsification. Not more than genetically modified organisms, a mixture of dyes and
preservatives, pesticides, hormones and many other inventions of modernity. But while
most of the world's population lives in poverty a minority enjoys a frantic consumerism.
Misery is everywhere ruled by totalitarian mercantile society.
In Chapter VI (The destruction of the environment), the author states that the exhaustion
of the planet's natural resources, abundant energy production or goods, trash and waste
from conspicuous consumption jeopardize the possibility of survival of mankind and
other living beings that inhabit the Earth. However, to leave free rein to barbaric
capitalism, economic growth should never stop. It has to produce, produce and
reproduce more. And are the same pollutants that present themselves today as potential
saviors of the planet. Multinational companies try to convince us that a simple change in
our habits would be enough to save the planet from disaster. Meanwhile, they continue
polluting without ceasing our environment. But never propose a radical change in the
production system. It is, as ever, to change some details so that everything remains as
before.
Chapter VII (The work), Jean-François Brient says that to enter the wave of frenzied
consumption, we must have money and to get money, it's needed to work, ie selling our
labor power. The dominant system did of the work of the modern slave their primary
source for the extraction of profit. And the modern slaves must work harder and longer
to pay credit your life miserable. They are exhausted from working so hard, lose most of
their energy and have to endure the worst humiliations. They spend all their life
performing a strenuous and insidious activity that is profitable only to the holders of the
means of production. What would do the modern slaves without this torture that is the
work? And are these alienating activities that are presented as liberators. The scientific
organization of work constitutes the real essence of worker expropriation, is the fruit of
their labor, but also the time they spend in the automatic production of goods or
services.
In Chapter VIII (The colonization of all sectors of life), Jean-François Brient says that
the production system colonizes every sector of life. At no time in their daily lives, the
modern slave escapes the influence of the system that is part of every moment of his
life. It is a slave full time. In Chapter IX (The commercial medicine), the author states
that the origin of the evils of the modern slave is in widespread degradation of their
environment, that is, the air we breathe, the food we consumes and the stress caused by
our working conditions. As turned every detail of our world in mere commodity, the
current system did, too, of our body a commodity, an object of study and experience to
commercial medicine. The owners of the world are ready to patent living beings. The
complete sequence of the human genome DNA is the starting point of a new strategy
put into action by those in power. After all, our body also ceases to belong to us.
In Chapter X (The obedience as a second nature), the author states that the human being
is already accustomed to always obey. Obedience has become second nature of human
being. He obeys without knowing for what reason, simply because he knows he must
obey. Obey, produce and consume, behold, there the three requirements that affect our
lives. Obeys up to parents, teachers, bosses, owners, merchants, also follow-laws, the
police and all sorts of powers, because he cannot do something else. There isn´t
something that gives more afraid than disobedience, since to disobey, to adventure, to
change, is very risky. It is fear that made us slaves and it keeps us in this condition.

Lowered our head forward to the masters of the world, we accept this life of humiliation
and misery only by fear.
In Chapter XI (The repression and violence), Jean-François Brient says that there are
still individuals that escape the control of their conscience, but are under surveillance.
Every act of rebellion or resistance is actually treated as a subversive or terrorist
activity. Freedom only exists for those who defend the commercial imperatives. And the
silence of the majority of slaves facing this repression makes the media to deny this
conflict in today's society. In Chapter XII (The money), Jean-François Brient states that,
like all oppressed human beings in history, the modern slave needs its mysticism and its
god to anesthetize the evil that torments him and the suffering that suffocates him. But
this new god, to whom gave his soul, is nothing more nor less than the money. In the
name of this new god he studies, he works, he fights and sold. In the name of this new
god that humans abandoned their values and is willing to do anything. He believes that
the more money he has more be free of problems within which it is trapped. As if the
possession of money walked hand in hand with freedom.
In Chapter XIII (There is no alternative in the dominant social organization), Jean-
François Brient says that the modern slave is convinced that there is no alternative to the
organization that prevails in the world today. He resigned himself to this life because he
thinks there may be another model of organization of society. And it's right there which
is the strength of this domination: create the illusion that system that colonized the
entire face of the Earth is the best that humanity has ever built in terms of social
organization. Convinced that human beings to adapt to their ideology is how to adapt to
the world as shown and as ever. Dreaming of another world became a crime
unanimously criticized by the media and public authorities.
In Chapter XIV (The image), the author states that, compared to the devastation of the
real world, it is necessary that the current system colonize the consciousness of slaves.
That is why the ruling system, the forces of repression are preceded by deterrence,
which since childhood, realizes its work training slaves. The human being enslaved
should forget his servile status, his arrest, and his life miserable. Just look at this crowd
mesmerized front of television screens that accompany their daily lives. The holders of
economic and political power deceive the modern slaves selling the idea that they can
dream of a better future made of money, glory and adventure. There are images for
everyone and everywhere. These images carry with them the ideological message of
modern society and serves as an instrument of unification and propaganda. They will
grow as man is dispossessed of his world and his life.
Also in Chapter XIV, Jean-François Brient says that children are the first victims of
these television images, because it is stifling freedom from the cradle. It needs to make
them stupid and take them all capacity for reflection and criticism. All this is, of course,
is done with the disconcerting complicity of parents who do not even seek to resist
opposite the impressive strength of all modern means of communication. Parents leave
the alienating and mediocre system is responsible for their children's education. There
are images for all ages and all social classes. It appeals to the lowest instincts to sell any
merchandise. And is the woman doubly slave of today's society, which pays the highest
price. She is presented as a mere object of consumption. The image is still, to this day,
the form of more direct and more effective communication: it creates models, alienates
the masses, mind, and promotes frustrations. Diffuses the mercantile ideology by the
4. 4
image, because the goal remains the same: to sell, life models or products, behaviors or
commodities.
In Chapter XV (The amusement), Jean-François Brient says that humans have several
options for amusement, but that amusement only serves to distract them from the real
problems that affect them. Like the emperors of ancient Rome bought the allegiance of
the people with bread and games nowadays is with amusement as, for example, the
mediatized sport, which buys the silence of modern slaves. In Chapter XVI (Language),
Jean-François Brient states that the control of consciences passes essentially addicted by
using the language used by economy and socially dominant class. Being the holder of
all the media, the owners of power spread the mercantile ideology through petrified
definition, partial and false that they give the words. Words are presented as neutral and
their definition as evident. However, being under the control of power, language always
designates something very different from real life. It is primarily a language of
resignation and impotence, the language of passive acceptance of things as they are and
should remain as such. The problem of language is at the heart of the struggle for
human emancipation. For a radical change to happen, we need a language advocate of
the emancipation of human beings that is opposed to the dominant language that leads
to their serfdom.
In Chapter XVII (The illusion of voting and parliamentary democracy), the author states
that modern slaves still see themselves as citizens. They believe that actually vote and
decide freely who will defend their interests. As if they still had a choice, just kept the
illusion. In parliamentary democracy, the modern slaves have the illusion that they can
choose themselves the master whom they should serve. In practice, there is no
opposition to the "status quo" as the dominant political parties agree on the essential that
is the conservation of the present mercantile society. There are no political parties likely
to come to power who doubt the market dogma. And it is these parties that with media
complicity monopolize appearances. The parliamentary and representative way that
usurps the name of democracy limits the power of citizens for the simple right to vote,
that is, nothing. The seats in parliament are occupied by the vast majority of the
dominant economic class, be it right or of the desired left social democratic.
In Chapter XVIII (The totalitarian mercantile system), Jean-François Brient states that
the dominant system is defined by the omnipresence of its mercantile ideology which
occupies at the same time all the space and all sectors of life. This ideology says nothing
more than, produce, sell, consume, accumulate! It reduced all human relations into
commodity relations and considers our planet as a mere commodity. The duty imposed
on us is the servile work. The only right that it recognizes is the right to private
property. The only god it worships is money. The omnipresence of ideology, the
worship of money, the one disguised party parliamentary pluralism, the lack of a visible
opposition and repression in all its forms against the will to transform the man and the
world. This is the true face of modern totalitarianism that is called "liberal democracy"
which, however, we must call it by its real name: the totalitarian mercantile system. The
man, the society and the whole of our planet serve this ideology. The totalitarian
mercantile system accomplished what no totalitarianism could do before: unify the
world in his own image. Today there is no longer possible exile.
In Chapter XIX (perspective), Jean-François Brient says that as oppression spans all
sectors of life, the possibility of revolt acquires aspect of civil war on a national and
global scale. The destruction of the totalitarian mercantile society is an absolute
5. 5
necessity in a world that is condemned already. Riots reborn everywhere in the world
and announce the coming revolution. But for this revolt leads to a victorious revolution,
we need to raise awareness and formulate a new alternative model of society to inhuman
current model. For Jean-François Brient the current model must be destroyed.
What has just been described in the paragraphs above makes evident the urgent need to
combat modern slavery that all mankind is subject triggering at global scale the fight
against globalized modern totalitarianism that proves to be the greatest enemy of all
peoples of the world. One fact is indisputable: without the collapse of modern
totalitarianism at the national and global scale, will not overcome problems affecting the
human being in every single country.
