Abstract

This article aims to approach Philosophy as a tool able to overcome society's imposition. In other words, a way to overcome the values and standards established across several media that significantly influence the formation of young students. Based on the perspective that philosophy teaching is a powerful tool, the main objective is to investigate how philosophy teachers can direct their classes in order to develop a more critical view, autonomous posture and a deeper reflection of what people are daily exposed through the media. Avoiding the herd behavior in which individuals consume ready concepts. In this bias, it will be discussed the importance of teaching philosophy in the formation of high school students. In addition, it intends to articulate the teaching of philosophy with some of the problems students face. Thus, the relevance of this article is justified in investing in the preparation and personal improvement for the performance of teaching activities. It will put in discussion the direction of the classes, aiming at proposing possible ways to bring students closer to philosophy, making it more meaningful to these students.
