Rethinking and resignifying the democratic management of education in the "globalized culture"

Both in their extensiveness and intensiveness, the scientific-technological, economic-social, political-ethical and cultural changes in contemporary life have been much deeper than most changes that happened throughout history. They impacted on the minds and hearts of the whole humanity, requiring that we contemplate and resignify the education of education professionals and the management of education. This text points out a need for humanizing the education and living conditions of professionals in education and education management. They should be redefined based on a new ethics that allows to face the violent challenges of the "globalized culture" in the "overflowing society", that is "dissatisfied" and "exclusory", built on "resentments" and the exacerbation of individualism, and to move toward the formation of a whole citizenship.
