The people of Brazil and Bolivia both faced problems unique to their political and environmental climates. Across both countries the poor suffer from specific acute problems, for instance the people of Brazil suffer from issues of housing and environmental loss. The people of Bolivia had a different problem, particularly in the town of Cochabamba who fought for basic necessities against a totalitarian government and a massive international company. Ultimately all of these groups achieved some…

At first citizens of Brazil were intrigued when the news broke out about hosting the 2014 World Cup, the most entertaining and famous sports event in the world and a host in 2016 Olympics. After discovering there was a corporate conflict of interest in regards to Brazil’s economy and the money was being displaced towards other projects instead of rebuilding community schools, hospitals, etc. This lead to major protesting which this country hasn’t endured in years, Brazilians feel as if they are…

Multicultural and multiethnic society has been the cornerstone of the Brazilian people since early 20th century. Brazil is best known throughout the world for Carnival. The Friday to the Tuesday before the beginning of lent is when Carnival occurs.

Brazil, being the fifth-largest country in the world, has a population of approximately 200 million people which has increasingly become urbanised since the 1950s, with 85% of the current population living in urban areas. However, like many other countries, in the course of this urban development and economic growth, may have neglected measures of sustainability for the present and future. The current national focus and priority of the country is on economic stabilization policies even though…

community or population large enough to be self sustaining (Jandt, 2004). Well the culture I have chosen to study is the Brazil part of South America. The reason I chose Brazil is well, because I'm interested in visiting there sometime throughout my life. Brazil is South America's largest country by both population and actual size (Brazil, 2016). The language that is spoken in Brazil is Portuguese. Nearly all of the population here speaks the same language. Along with the Portuguese language,…

Mulatto Brazil is one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the world. Many Brazilians view their nation as a “racial democracy” where there is little unconcealed racism. Black and white relationships started as early as in 1550 in Brazil, when the first Africans were brought as slaves. This was the time when many Portuguese men started marrying black women. Some of the mulatto ethnicity was enslaved. As slaves the individuals worked in the sugar and coffee plantations, alongside enslaved…

Whilst on holiday in São Paulo, Brazil, I noticed that the soil colour was completely different to the soil colour in the UK and in order to understand why, I visited the ‘Museu Catavento Cultural e Educacional’. I discovered that the soil has a high-iron content because it originates from what was possibly one of the largest volcanic spills in the Earth’s history and as the spill contained magnetite, the soil in southern Brazil is incredibly fertile where it’s called Terra Roxa. This type of…
