Abstract
A manuscript known as "Immortal Commitment", 1645, is the first known manifestation of the mentality of defense of the "Patria" in Brazil. Independence and Republic were proclaimed without a national mobilization around the theme "defense"; the War of the Triple Alliance (1865-1870) and Brazil's participation in the 2nd World War (1943-1945) did not ignite the Brazilian people to the need to think about defense: it was not perceived then, nor is it perceived today, that Brazil is under threat. On the other hand, the Brazilian Army enjoys high levels of credibility and respectability. In their passage through military service, young people internalize important values such as civic pride, patriotism, responsibility, honesty, team spirit, sense of duty and defense mentality. Interactions between military organizations and civilian segments of society contribute to develop a defense mentality. What are the initiatives leading to this? What environmental conditions favor this mentality? Which of them are subject to duplication? The aim of this study is to investigate the contribution of military organizations to develop a defense mindset in Brazil.
