IMPLICATIONS OF THE SOCIAL ISSUE IN THE THEOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE

Abstract

This bibliographic research work investigated the expressions of the Brazilian Social Question nowadays, starting with the understanding of what Social Question is and its current implications. Its origins, actors and expressions in the Brazilian scenario and the inequalities arising from the Social Question were analyzed, studying each of its consequences. Then, the Social Question was analyzed in the neoliberal context, analyzing each item in detail, to understand more fully the consequences of the Social Question, especially some of the cruelest phenomena, such as slums, segregation, misery, child labor, unemployment, violence and its types. Each item was discussed separately to have a more complete notion of the problem. Once the authors and their respective doctrinal positions were confronted, this study was closed with an analysis of this problem within the scope of theological studies, drawing up a succinct conclusion. The theoretical foundation of this work relied on renowned theorists on the subject, such as Montaño (2001), Netto (2001) and Marx (1984).
