1 The teacher on the way to school

At my school, it all started when I, still not inspired by philosophy, tried to understand who that moment. On second thought, I started to like him, the way he taught and I saw his eyes moving in various directions as if he were a compass, and he, the teacher, hypothetically being a magnet that pulled students from the class towards him. Yes! He drew a lot of attention.

In the first days of class the teacher, I had a huge desire to know what it was that I wanted to do with the students of the 8th grade of elementary school at Colégio Nossa Senhora Aparecida, where they are in the city of Arapiraca-AL.

His oratory drew my attention and when least expected, one arrives and says: "This teacher is strange! He keeps telling stories with nothing to do with the subject. On that day, I came across another boy who is always with me, but he was not the only one, I had several colleagues to talk or chat with; etc. Daniel, student style "stumbled" in the discipline of mathematics. He's an exceptional guy, gifted; level of logic incompatible with mine. The teacher, yes, himself! He gave the colleague Daniel, a proposal that at the end of the year, everyone in the classroom should explain about their respective philosophers. He stayed with Plato, a great philosopher and the classic of the classical period of Ancient Greece. I'll tell you later which one I stayed with.

In fact, everyone in the room was taken aback by what was happening, I had the flashes burning because I had to read about a certain philosopher. However, life does not always happen as everyone wanted it to be. In relation to me, I went through difficulties and moral harassment. All because of that teacher The story begins to be intrigued when I expose an ireversible and uncontrolled capacity through my role as a student. The days passed...

As time passed, several things happened but I don't intend to put them here, because I don't want to put any more details; episodes that were not so relevant. Well, the road to school is still starting. It is worth mentioning one thing: if you, dear reader, are willing to read stories about bullying and student harassment, go ahead. If not, I think it would be inappropriate for you to be reading this chapter.

I always arrive at school and first before entering the classroom, the school principal always says a prayer. So, always being in the class, there is always that conformity and performance to the class. When the teacher arrives in the room, everyone is willing to pay attention to him, however, with suspicion. The students are always boring, unwilling to study, they want to make noise, "zueira". The road here is still long and with each passing day new experiences I can experience. With each passing day, my instinct begins to develop; theme for the next chapter.

The instinct for wisdom, the desire to want to study begins to rise. Before arriving in 8th grade, I was a very shy young man and I still didn't know what it would be like to "like studying". As the year went on, I developed and perfected, my cognitive abilities were developed and my shyness was left aside more and more, more and more... The 8th grade was certainly the worst year of my scholl life. This path has become very tragic for me. I couldn't even understand what was happening to me. I felt it was an "inner torture" inside me. It was disappointing.

Depression is a very "silent" disease and even boring. Yes, I lived with her for a while during the worst year. The students on my side, not all, but the majority kept thinking me nobody; a guy to be outdated in relation to the way of studying wanting knowledge, acquiring knowledge. It was very boring but I managed to take it on the bright side, I stayed on mine. I didn't misrepresent myself. It was fleeting, it passed as if nothing had happened. One day, I got out of bed and went to get ready for school. In the teacher's class, he made an order: —Douglas, starting today, will be in front of me, sitting on front stool. I would stay if my memory servers me right, sitting on the third stool in the middle of the room. And that decision was very bad because from that moment on, everyone in the classroom noticed the enormous attachment between me and the teacher. Consequently, side chat or conversations started to increase and bullying outside the classroom as well.

Instinct:

Committed to his philosophical ideas, he wrote one of his most emblematic works "The World as Will and Representation", published in 1818. In Schopenhauer's conception the world would be full of representations created by the subjects. Along these lines, the essence of things would only be found through what he called "intuitive insight", a type of enlightenment. His philosophical theory addressed several topics related to human existence, suffering and boredom. Thus, according to the philosopher, life would range from suffering to boredom and happiness would be momentary.

The concept of instinct, since it leads to a certain behavior, was also the target of studies of the psychology of motivation, which is concerned with explaining the reasons that lead the human being to act. An explanation based on the instinct model presented above would make the final action the stimulus that would lead the individual to practice other actions (actions of appetite), in order to achieve it.

Sigmund Freud, was a doctor who created psychoanalysis. Freud started his studies by using the technique in the treatment of patients with hysteria, as a way of accesing their mental contents. Observing the improvement of patients treated by the French doctor, he elaborated that the cause of hysteria was psychological, not organic. This hypothesis served as a basis for other concepts developed by Freud, such as the unconscious. His theories and treatments were controversial in 19th century Vienna, and continue to be hotly debated today.
