The Human Forgetting: how the Brazilian Society Indolence Compromises the Effectiveness of the Fundamental Human Rights

  • Dennis Verbicaro Soares Cesupa

Abstract

This article aims at demonstrating that the option for a civic apathy made by the Brazilian society has compromised the effectiveness of the human rights; somehow such behavior depreciates the essence of the democratic regime. When society accommodates itself in a negative liberty, reinforces the abstentionist shade of the Liberal State that many times produces social discontentment. A weak citizenship makes the individual trust extremely in political representations, distancing itself from the instinct of sociability, one of the alternatives of pos-modernity to emancipate men from power regulation that had debilitated it through the latest two centuries. We cannot waste the lessons obtained from experience or give away to a political fatalism and do not break with this state of indolence potentially prejudicial to the fundamental human rights’ exercise.
