A POSSIBILIDADE DE DESUMANIZAÇÃO DO INDIVÍDUO ATRAVÉS DE JORNAIS SENSACIONALISTAS

Abstract

This monograph intends to discuss the possibility of dehumanization individuals through the typifications made during police programs known for their sensationalism; so that human beings suspected of committing a crime would end up being taxed directly or indirectly by them as inferior to the human condition. To support this point, a bibliographical research was carried out regarding the influence of language on the creation of both identities and the possible maintenance of an objectification system. From the works studied, the justifications of professionals of the social and human sciences were analyzed and collected, on the nature of the man, the function of the institutions and those responsible for preserving them. Thus, was explained that sensationalism could work as a mean to label human individuals in a hasty and defamatory manner, as well as creating an atmosphere in which a society affected by the influence of newspapers of this kind, may even, momentarily, lose the consciousness that it has always been in your power to make the necessary improvements in your way of life. However, regardless of the contents and possible effects of any message from newspapers, it can not be ignored that if a particular population was asleep about its powers, this could also be due to the conformism and bad faith of its members.
