BENTO, Jorge Olímpio. Times of exclusion, elimination and destruction. Rev. Port. Cien. Desp. [online]. 2008, vol.8, n.3, pp.441-455. ISSN 1645-0523.

The world is being structured by a minority without any scruples regarding the destiny that awaits for other persons: the inevitability of exclusion. This is what it’s staged, so exemplary, by the several types of reality showsthat television networks spread everywhere. It is not surprising that most individuals feel threatened by fears that make life a hard and a bitter struggle not to be discarded to the dustbin. This environment is fed by the moulding of society according to the dictates of consumption. Moreover, it has reflexes in the "reformist" vocabulary, which entered the University by the hand of the 'Bologna Process', and is associated to the transformation of higher education in an area of business, often dishonest. All of this together contributes to the degradation of democracy and freedom and shows the banality and rationality of the contemporary evil and its agents. The return to the obscurantism is obvious. It is against this that education and training, teachers and humanist intellectuals should raise, knowing that the task is enormous, however without alternative.

Palavras-chave : fears; exclusion; society of consumption; "reformist” vocabulary; rationality of the contemporary evil; obscurantism.
