Religiosidade como estratégia criativa para o aumento do hábito de leitura

Abstract

We are facing a reality that is the lack of the reading habit in our country: approximately 72% of our population does not have the habit of reading, according to the fourth edition of the survey RETRATOS DA LEITURA NO BRASIL, an aspect addressed throughout this article, by means of the survey. With this, we realize how we are harming ourselves as a nation, considering that much creativity, innovation, critical and effective people in the midst of the development of our society are failing to emerge, characteristics that are developed in the individual through the habit of reading. We will signal, in this scientific study, and suggest a path that can change this index of negativity into a sphere whose result our minds cannot yet assimilate, discussing the need to rescue the habit of reading, regarding those who have lost interest, and perhaps envisioning new readers. The path pointed out throughout this research is the stimulus for everyone to obtain more knowledge of their beliefs, thus developing reading habits in the individual, through contents that he/she wants to learn more about. And with this, we will indicate, through some interviews and individual examples of some people, that there are stimuli in our daily lives that are being neglected and can help us to change for the better the increase of reading in Brazil. The method used a structured interview, formalized according to Gil (2008), with open questions, which were recorded by audio recording, to facilitate the analysis and its description throughout the material. Twenty-five people were interviewed, in the period from April to May 2021, in a community. Throughout this study, we will identify that many people are active in their daily reading, through their beliefs, whatever they may be.
