Reflections 5 days before leave Brazil: what I have learned so far.

I am gratefully for what happened during this time I was here in Brazil. I went through several questions and get to know several ways of thinking.
First, I started to love my EE and then I started to hang out with some boys who showed a new perspective of politics and so one.
I was very annoyed by religious perspective of forbidding things as abortion and gay marriage and all that stuff which goes against the traditional values I was raised. Then I had the impression the conservatives were the most unfair and selfish people the earth could ever had, trying just to impose their perspectives to the world.

I was hunger to clarify things and see the truth about their perspectives. So then, I create a Facebook group called ''biblical and social debates''. Moreover, started to point out very controversial points, and as they answered I discovered new things they hate. I was all the time provoking them to talk. I really want to hear something that could convince me. Until once a person, called Junior was an ashore with me and I was so angry. He was a super-intellectual and he in other worlds said I was a ''papagayo'' I did even know the ideology was behind the things I was defeating.
In addition, I was humiliated in front of people I knew in that group and people I never saw in my life.
I was angry with him, I confess, but he was absolutely right. I was too dumb to be on that discussion. Then I come back to the group and had to be intellectually honest and tell the truth to people. I did not know anything about Marxism, leftism and so one and I was a set of fallacies I have heard on my whole live and I was pretty hunger for learn more and for know more about political different points of view and I wanted to know what was behind the conservatives ideology.

I had countless prejudices about everything rightwing.

I learned all my schoolbooks in Brazil was done for a woman who put all the Marxist theory on the them- called Marilena Chauí- that will of course be fixed on the heads of students. So then is natural if you have a different perspective about things you will be labeled as a terrible person because of that. I was pretty disappointed with our system of education. With the indoctrination, not with the Marxism. I think it was unfair with us to show just one perspective. Because I was unfairly following something someone, choose for me until I realize there is another way to see things. In addition, I started with that not because I wanted to be convinced but because I want to make sure I had destroyed all the possibilities to follow rightwing and keep in my leftist was of think.

I started to heard about a guy called Mises. I have heard thousands of time about Marx, but about him... My intellectual circle just hid him from me all this time. I was so pest off about it.

Names as ''free market'' become more natural for me.

I had chosen my EE on Theatre of the Oppressed and I started to discover an ideology behind it too. I had chosen innocently because I tough honestly all the ideology was just so pretty. I was very excited when I started, but I confess, later on, I started to be less satisfied while I was herding the point of view of the other side.

I was interested on MST (I am actually interested!)

I realize economics is SUPER important to understand politics. (I know it is obvious, but I never had realized that so concretely. They are absolutely connected)

I have a list of books I would like desperately to read all of it.

Yesterday I realized I never had read any law project of any Deputed (political function) to take my own judgments on him. I just tacked in account what the media told me.

Another thing: the media is a whore (whores, I am sorry, that’s disrespectful call you like that, sorry). Very partial. Never trust them. Never ever, put your hands on fire for media.

My summer as you can read was controversial. I cannot take a conclusion of what I follow politically. However, I want to. I am engage to learn more, to read more, to watch more. I am full of contradictions and full of questions. I am so extremely grateful for everything I have learned here.
I am even considering to become an economist ^_^

Let us see.

Well, I think was pretty much that. :)

Beloved Germany, see you soon.
