Brazilians were mad because of they were forced to live in a different lifestyle that they are not used too. Grandin mentions, “When Rogge heard a group of drunken workers chanting “Brazil for Brazilians. Kill all the Americans,” he decided that it was time to leave.” (Grandin.214). John R Rogge an American lumberjack knew that the Brazilians were tired since they were forced to do things they weren’t accustomed to do, since they were forced to change their way of living, since ford was trying to build a version of the United States in the Amazonian. People living in the Amazonian were still living the jungle and so of course they hated the drastic changes. The Brazilian workers had no choice, but to revolt against Ford. This led Fordlandia to disaster because no one wanted to work for him. This led Henry Ford’s own son to sell Fordlandia, because Henry Ford had failed in the

There has been a real transformation in the Brazil economy in the 21st century. The country 's location is in Latin America and is one of the motivating economies in the world market.

Brazil is located in Eastern South America and borders the Atlantic Ocean. Brazil is very comparable to the USA, being only slightly smaller in size.

In addition to the challenging economic policy issues it is confronting, Brazil has simultaneously been in a very fragile political state ever since the Petrobras scandal investigation, known as Operation Lava Jato (Carwash), was initiated in 2014. In order to appreciate the significance of the Petrobras scandal and its negative impact on the people’s trust, it is important to comprehend the significance of Petrobras, the state-owned oil giant, and its role in Brazilian society. In Galster’s 2009 article, he discusses the nationalization of the oil industry in Brazil, the creation of Petrobras, and how it acquired its power and political influence. Galster emphasizes how the oil industry barely existed fifty years ago, and that it became very successful due to shrewd policies, such as keeping up to date with the latest technologies and implementing free market mechanisms. Also, Petrobras is a multinational oil company controlled and majority owned by the Brazilian federal government, but it is traded on the stock markets around the world, unlike most other Latin American countries (Galster, 2009).

The Ford Motor Company and General Motors have greatly influenced and shaped the global automobiles industry over the 20th Century. While there are other big car-makers both in the United States and elsewhere in the globe, the two companies have been the commonest and significant players across the entire sector.
