Thus, the understanding of the socio-historical process, it is necessary for the implementation of social policies devised initially to cope with the social question and its multifaceted, throughout this period, reductionism and adoption of practices and immediate compensation to cope with the refractions social issue of today. The social question is thus seen as inseparable from the capitalist system of production and the consequent effect of fragmenting the class identity of workers. The issue thus integrates social conditions and historical dimensions and subjective elements, which include the actions of the subjects in the construction of history and the search for modifying the established reality.

In addition, discussions are also presented produced about this intervention, particularly when it comes to the debate developed in the present, taking as reference the existence of a "new social question."
