Brazil can be compared to the United States in several aspects. Both countries have a lot of things in common; however, we can point some differences too.

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate how Brazil, a country with an extremely high rate of inflation and low growth, positioned itself as the 7th largest economy of the world and what are the challenges that the country is facing. First of all the Real Plan of Fernando Henrique Cardoso and how it helped the country to stabilize its economy and drop down the inflation rate will be discussed.

Brazil is within a political crisis. Their government has become extremely corrupt over the years and it appears to continue. Their government is considerably right-wing, and this stagnates growth. This has led to huge risks and issues that have hurt the country in every level. The country was also hit with the last massive recession and it has never recovered. Brazil also took on hosting two world events within this recession. Hosting the Olympics and World cup was a costly investment. Investors and politicians did not see the influx of tourism post these events as they expected which too had an impact on their economy.

South Africa and Brazil exemplify the repercussions in an economy when an examination of a leaders’ ethics occurred. Most notable comparisons between the two countries involve what the leaders accomplished in their position of power to excite such a negative reaction, the unfavorable impacts in these countries’ economies, and the people’s reactions to the allegations made against their president.

The change of control began to occur rapidly in the 19th century from the shift of power of the crown to Brazilian colonies. Influences of the Enlightenment fueled the restlessness of the Brazilian Portuguese who were looked down upon. This was not new to other nations surrounding Brazil. In Spanish America the creoles (American born Spaniards) faced similar discrimination with distrust from their homeland leading to tensions within the nation. Through these tensions and other factors such as inequality and politics led to revolts and insurrections to accrue leading to the independent of many Spanish American nations. While Brazil had successfully become independent their pathway they 're was different from those nations. Brazil heavily relied on the slave trade and became another empire as opposed to a republic. Through changes of economy such as trade, social structures conflict between the different classes and political aspects of Brazil were unique as opposed to Spanish America. In this essay I will analyze the processes of Independence in Brazil through economic, social class structures and political changes which differentiated the way Brazil formed leading to new empire.

ver time, human development and distribution can be drastically changed and differed according to human and environmental factors. This has very much been the case in Brazil. Over the course of many years major cities like Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro have seen a significant increase in population density, but the creation of Brasilia and government funding of northern cities such as Manaus has also caused an evident shift in population distribution. This change has been created as a result of increase in government funding in projects such as urbanization of northern cities, job opportunities, harsh physical features and both internal and external migration.

Northeast Brazil is one of the poorest areas in a country where there is an incredibly great divide between the wealthy and the poor. Similar to the situation in the United States, many impoverished families are caught in a cycle where being born into poverty means your resources are less accessible than that of someone born into money. As a result, the young people remain impoverished throughout their lives and have children that face the same struggle continuing the cycle.. Education is one of the critical resources that may be able to assist in removing someone from an impoverished situation. Unfortunately, in places with a large population of poor, the school systems tend to be in poor condition or non-existent.

Gertulio Vargas is a very, very important figure in Latin history. He was a manipulating man of many faces who succeeded in gaining not one of two but nine positions of power in Brazilian history. He was state legislator, federal Congressman, Cabinet minister and Governor. He also held the positions of interim president, (revolutionary) chief of state and Senator. Least but not forgotten he was a dictator through and through! This man who became president in Brazil, drew comparisons to America’s Franklin D. Roosevelt in the way that he helped modern his country and was constantly in the media’s eye. In Vargas’ case, he exited office very differently than Roosevelt. Also Vargas’ legacy left a lot let to be desired if the way that he

In 2002, a poor businessman was elected president which changed the structure of Brazil’s society. “...president Lula chose to focus his administration upon century-long land reform problems; cleaning up rampant corruption and crime; reducing unemployment, and reformulating the pension and benefit system...;jump starting a stagnant economy” (Moran, Abramson & Moran, 2014).

Dilma Rousseff, Brazil’s current president, has just been re-elected for her second term. With the ongoing public outcry, she is being put under constant scrutiny. Many critics believe that she does not have the necessary backing in congress to pass bills that would elevate Brazil’s out of this democratic recession. Ms. Rousseff and her congress has done little to slow down the inflation rates that come as a result of economic stagnation. What happens next is crucial. In my opinion, the desired outcome would be necessary reforms on taxes to buy them more time preventing protests from possibly causing catastrophic outcomes for the nation. Also important is for the executives and congress to work together to find ways to stimulate the economy. Putting more effort into the growing oil industry while routing more resources towards exports, one of Brazil’s strengths, could be good starts. Directing more tax money towards improving Brazil’s lackluster infrastructure could be another option to

Never a quiet month in Brazil’s political scene. In May, there was the overwhelming impact of the taped conversation between President Temer and Joesley Batista, the meat tycoon, which allegedly addressed bribe payments and other criminal acts. Further convolutions in June, as the Prosecutor General denounced the head of the Executive branch for corruption.
