The objective of this assay is to reflect about the relation between the primate of the form in our society, that is expressed also in the educational and politicians scopes, and the formation of individuals a little bit differenced, concerning its sensitivity, perception and thought; the hypothesis is that the emphasis in the form, in many social spheres, in detriment of the specific content which would have to be associated, contributes with the formation of individuals that have difficulties in identifying between themselves and, therefore, in developing, being inclined to the coldness, an absence of perception of the social contradictions and conflicts and to a basically conformist thought. This reflection is developed having as reference workmanships of thinkers who had constituted the called School of Frankfurt, such as T.W. Adorno, M. Horkheimer, H. Marcuse and the Freudian Psychoanalysis.
