Teaching Geography has countless challenges in the formation of citizens interested in the problems of society. This study indicates spatial reasoning as a challenge, taking as a starting point a multi-scale and multi-faceted understanding of environmental issues. It is important to recognize the various discourses and meanings of environmental issues. Media is important for the production of meanings and representations about the environmental issue and the teacher has indispensable function as a mediator of educational practice and in the discussion of social and environmental processes. According to these issues, this study discusses critically the conceptions of the relationp between society and nature in the teaching of geography and also in the media. Have been observed as key aspects: the persistent dichotomy between society and nature is primarily responsible for the difficulties of teachers and students in the analysis of the environmental issue; teachers do not recognize that this dichotomy is present in the teaching of geography; the lack of a pedagogical mediation between the discourses in the media and the geographic knowledge; environmental discussions of the media superimposes the geographical knowledge of the environment; reproductivism of the discourses and representations present in the media about the nature, the environment and the space has been developed for students. This study concludes that perceptions of environmental issues were displaced analytical and critical understanding of the relation between society and nature. This can lead to fragmented and the simplifying interpretations about the space. Aspects of complexity (Edgar Morin) and totality are presented (in the geographical conception of Milton Santos) theories are presented as important analytical alternatives to combat the dichotomy man (society) versus environment (nature). It s important to understand the space as a "dialectical totality."
