WHY WE DO NOT LIKE PSU. As my partner said‚ the current admission process discriminates students because of their social classes. Moreover‚ it does not show the real knowledge they possess nor evaluates apropiate skills for each course. Youngsters whose families have more resources do not do better at PSU because they are smarter than the ones from a lower social class. Inteligence‚ studying habits or even the effort they make‚ are equally distributed through society. It is knowledge what is

In Santiago‚ Moreira Salles also uses the documentary idiom to construct a genealogical inquiry into his own family and class identity. Yet unlike in Um passaporte húngaro‚ the director’s reflexive attitude toward himself as both instigator and object of the film’s quest does not manifest through a performative intervention in the present that registers the effects triggered by the director-character’s presence. Rather‚ Santiago (subtitled Uma reflexão sobre o material em bruto‚ A Reflection on Raw
