It is intended to problematize on the conditions of political participation of the child in the consumer society, pointing out how much the child education has to do to become a potential way that overcomes practices of exclusion and fragility of the social bonds. A critical discussion of the ideals of a culture that disavows many of its members, denying their ability to make meaningful changes in their everyday experiences, is currently important. Methodologically, bibliographic analyzes based on critical and historical-cultural theory, were articulated to the results of a thesis research, aiming to reflect on the constitution of autonomy in children in school environment in the consumer society. Considering the dynamics of relationships and social spaces, the school needs to reinvent itself, injecting pedagogical practices that favor the child's participation in collective projects and that promote their creative ability as a way to enable their social and moral development, as well as the exercise of their citizenship.

The inalienable value of human dignity, as a civilizational landmark, as the expression of an autonomous and independent individual who contributes to the manifestation of a more authentic humanity, is no more than a pure ideologically structured abstraction, since democratic politics lacks an interaction and a participation which defines it. Thus, there is an urgent need for the experienced immanence of democratic ideals, whether in individuals or in actions; no human being should be able to alienate this which is their responsibility as citizens. Much as no one can fall in love on our behalf, no citizen can sell their participation in the construction of the world and the directions it takes. The I before the we is, always, firstly I to only afterwards be able to truly become we. If we change the order, we lose the consistency of the ideals of each person, from which only stereotypes survive under the form of unpractised or impracticable ideologies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
