The Brazilian Jeitinho The "jeitinho" is a behaviour so inculcated in brazilian subconscious that half the time, the brazilian doesn't even notice when he acts like that. It's a behaviour so ingrained in the culture that blurs the limits between right and wrong.
Unfortunatelly, the "jeitinho" is part of the brazilian, we learn how to act like that since our childhood, and most of the time we don't think that is something wrong in that. But it is. Because of the "jeitinho", the brazilian is used to getting what he want. So, what's the difference between bribing the policeman to get trough a blitz and bribing the politician to pass a law that favors to a company? None. Better thinking, the amount of money involved.

Afro Brazilians have had to deal with centuries of oppression. During these times, Afro-Brazilians have had to deal with various methods, and strategies designed to keep entire communities oppressed. Many of these methods have had effects so profound, they are still affecting many Brazilians till this day. Political oppression is one of the oldest methods known to man, along with unleashing a forceful police force mimicking military forces. Authoritarian rule also played a major role in the shaping of the country. Furthermore, an inept biased justice system will fail those who need protections, and justice the most. These four key modes will be objectively examined, as well as the efficacy of each of these repressive strategies, and the impact that they have had or still have in the Afro-Brazilian communities.
The Portuguese Empire lasted over six centuries, beginning in 1415, with the conquest of Ceuta, a Moroccan port on the straits of Gibraltar, and one of Europe’s first attempt at colonization in Africa. This move was orchestrated by Prince Henry, who was known as ‘the Navigator’. It was because of Prince Henry that Portugal became an imperialist country, he studied navigation, and made improvements on inventions like the astrolabe and compass, his goal was to make Portugal the most powerful sea power in the world. Prince Henry sponsored many naval explorers such as Bartolomeu Dias (who rounded the tip of Cape Hope in 1488) and Vasco de Gama. Three years after Ceuta, a group of uninhabited islands were found off the coast of Portugal, they were named the Madeiras, and almost immediately people began to settle there, they as well as the Azores islands (another set of uninhabited islands found in 1445) remain an autonomous part of Portugal today.

As a child develops into an adult there are critical developmental steps that are necessary for a complete and successful transition. The physical transition is the most obvious change, but underneath the thick skin and amongst the complex systems, exists another layer of transitions. Ideas, rationales, ideologies and beliefs all dwell within this layer of each being. It could be said that a nation can also fit this transitional framework. A nation grows in both size (wealth, population, power), and in ideological maturity (emancipation of slaves, civil rights, women’s rights…etc). This constant evolution of ideas and size is the foundation of a successful government. Without change and
