Cidadania e responsabilidade socioambiental

Abstract

The current article examines, briefly, the concept behind the term "citizenship" and its historical evolution. It verifies that, nowadays, it is necessary to include in this concept (and in the actions of the citizens) the primordial role of preserving the environment. Continuing, it debates the anthropomorphic relationship between man and nature. To finish off, it discourses about the social function of properties, which consists of activities not only in the behalf of their owners, but, especially, in the interest of society as a whole.
