Economic Inequalities And The Murder Rate In Brazil

Over the past few years, studies and research have shown a tremendous increase in the amount of crime in several Brazilian states. Millions of people are currently affected by an uncontrollable swarm of violence that spreads across the country from north to south, and now see a long way ahead as major police and military forces face one of the worst, sizable economic catastrophes in history. In northeastern Brazil, where the violence rate nearly doubles each year, "Alagoas state has seen a great increase in crime rate, with a record annual killing of 2,000 people… a big difference if compared to a city like São Paulo" (Bevins). Alagoas, in fact, is the most violent state in the country, with an astonishing homicide rate of 64.6 per 100,000

This stems from the fact that many Brazilians are fed-up with politics in the country. President Dilma Rousseff’s recent impeachment and the criminal charges many

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. Brazil now has a huge deficit in it’s net debt and this is expected to climb higher over the coming years. They have

This project will analyze the connection between income inequality and homicide rates. The data from Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Uniformed Crime Report (UCR) and National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) will be analyzed and the areas of highest homicide rates will be found. The income level of each region will be found by using the data from U.S Census Bureau. This project will also discuss why there is a connection between income inequality and crimes. It is predicted that people who live in suburban areas and do not have access to their basic needs are tend to commit crimes that are more violent.

Humans are a very unique species, as Ed Glaser says, “humans are a social species who gets more intelligent by being around other people” (Glaser 2014). However, when a group of very different people are put into a room and asked to solve a problem, there will be conflicts as every individual has their own opinion. So, do cities bring out the best and worst in human condition? Yes, because there are pros and cons with cities and how they affect our communities.

People had always loved to live in Brazil . Many people had thought that Cabral had accidently found South America . The portuguese king paid less attention to Brazil until he realized that the Europeans would take over . In 1580, politics have boosted Brazil’s development . Events in Europe set stage in Brazil’s independence . The perpetual defender lasted only 9 years .

The state started by some ships approaching the land in 1808. Brazil’s Amazon River empties more than 58 million gallons of water into the ocean every second. Brazilian cities all have

Secondly, the issue of discrimination in income inequality stereotypes and characterizes individual performance and ability based on the average habits of the group to which they belong. People have varying mental, physical, and aesthetic talents that can aid or be a hindrance to their standard of living. Additionally, an individual’s wealth is based on how many factors of production (FOP) one owns thus, the greater the FOP owned, the greater the ability to amass riches. Unequal distribution of fortune also averts the inclusive growth pattern that Latin America is experiencing. Third, income inequality goes hand in hand with unequal access to useful services such as education, health and political power. Finally, inequality in Latin America

Brazil has become known for its corruption and political scandals. This country is now facing one of its biggest scandals, and still, the laws are protecting those that are being accused from massive corruption and money laundering.

During the 20th century, Latin America was experiencing a rise in the left due to social inequality. The political left was committed to socialism. Social protests paved the way for the rise to power left. Chileans found themselves without work and ideal living standards due to boom and bust cycles and military dictatorship.

Homicide is the intentional and unlawful killing of one person by another. With a murder count of 52 homicides per 100000 people a year in the Unites States of America it is needless to say that it is indeed a problem that police in America are control. Researchers are starting to identify variables like divorce rate, economic inequality and population which have with a high influence and positive correlation on the rate of homicides. This research will test the effect that economic inequality has on the rate of homicides within Raleigh NC. The main objective was to measure how a single factor can influence the rate of homicide on a smaller scale. In order to fulfil that objective, Raleigh’s average income per capita and rate of homicide between

Brazil has some of the most violent cities in the world. The murder rate in Brazil has been going through the roof each year. Some cities have a murder rate of 50 per 50,000 people. Most murder victims are usually male, poor and teenagers. Most of these crimes take place in the infamous favelas of Brazil. Murder is not the only crime leaking in the shallow streets of the favelas. High-profile rape cases, kidnapping, drugs, and weapons dealing in the favelas are the common headlines in Brazil (Griffin, Jo). These crimes are born in the favelas and spread through the streets of Brazil. The economic growth of Brazil over the years has benefited the rich puppeteers of the society, but it has made life more miserable for the poor (McCann, Bryan). Not just in Rio, but favelas have spread throughout many cities in Brazil and now they are the number one birthplace of different types of crimes in the country. In this paper, we will analyze an article published on the online version of ‘The Guardians” regarding the lives of people living in Brazilian slums (favelas).

In this research paper I will be conducting an examination of the problematic areas of inequality and racism within Brazil. It mainly focuses on the superstition of a “racial democracy,” in Brazil closely concentrating on the primary causes of exclusion among Afro-Brazilians: Race, Education and Political Power. In my research paper I will be revealing the consequences of the Portuguese colonization of the 1500’s, and how their influence established the creation of the racial hierarchy within the Brazilian life and culture today. It will also offer correlations between the concept of race and economic success. This research paper it will basically demonstrate how Afro-Brazilians have been cornered in a revolution of poverty and

Brazil is an up and coming BRIC country located in South America. Portuguese is the “official and most widely spoken language” within the borders of Brazil. In 2014, Brazil had the population of 206,077,898 (Brazil: Intro, n.d.) individuals. Over half of Brazil’s ethnicity is white individuals, while approximately a third of the country is a mixed white and black. A small portion of the region is black. Furthermore, less than ten percent of the country is remaining ethnicities, and the remainder is unspecified per the 2000 census (Brazil: Intro, n.d.).

Over the years, Brazil has undergone some major changes in its country from its economy, to its government, the country’s native language, the population (in terms of culture and size), the social and environmental problems, etc.; but more importantly its independence from Portugal on September 7, 1822. Brazil is the only Portuguese-speaking nation in South America and about three-quarters of all Brazilians belong to the Roman Catholic Church; others are either members of traditional Protestant denominations, evangelical movements, or practices derived from African religions. During the 20th century, Brazil experienced rapid urban growth; as 81% of the country’s total population was living in urban areas. This growth did aid to its overall economic development but it also created several problems such as: social, security, environmental, and political for many cities ("Brazil: History", 2011). Majority of the country’s population have lived in the south-central area, which

Brazil lies on the central east coast of the continent of South America and is the largest country covering nearly half of the continent. It has twenty six states and the capital is Brasilia. Due to its vast land mass the country is also divided into five regions - North, Northeast, South, Southeast and Center-West. “Brazil is the fifth largest country by geographical mass in the world and the fifth most populated country in the world with the latest census revealing there are over 190 million people living in Brazil (Foundation)”. Brazil has great geography, they have their own language, a government similar to the U.S, their own currency and a different but not surprising standard living.
