It suggests that the citizenship involves the dialectic relation between the State, the economy, the cultures, etc. In Brazil, the citizenship is regulated, granted. ' ' In place of the citizen formed a consumer, who accepted to be called usurio' ' (P. 13). For the social formation of the country, the rights had become privileges and had had its atrelada existence to the questions of economic order, in a reality of country colonized with deep social disparidades.

A false idea of progress was created in this manner, where consumption is the revealer of who is or not a citizen. The proper media, capable to influence in the values and popular gostos, starts to use more than the consuming term intentionally, substituting and/or equaling it the term citizen!

However, this thought: ' ' Is a distortion of the reality, established in an ideology mals of the work? since the life finishes for teaching that the material prosperity does not depend on the effort straightforward: of another form, the prosperity would be generalized.
