Political Issues In Brazil

Brazil can be attractive to businesses that are looking to expand because the political system is considered to be stable. But there are other factors that are a cause for concern for businesses looking to expand. Brazil’s government is considered to be a democratic system, but it is truly a Federative Republic. It has operated this way since the fall of the Military Coup in 1985. In 1988 Brazil established it’s constitution. Brazil operates it government with the traditional three branches: the executive, legislative, and judicial branches.

The compulsory nature of voting in Brazil is a controversial topic, well discussed by politicians, jurists, political scientists, and voters. This requirement has been in place in Brazil since 1932, and every citizen older than 18 and younger than 70 is obliged to vote every 2 years. However, voters that are between 16 and 18 and voters that are older than 70 have the option to vote or not. For the voters that are obliged to vote, their abstention from voting implies in serious penalties, including the inability to apply for any governmental job, to get any official documents, like IDs and passports, and financial fines. Even with those sanctions, there is still a high number of abstentions. This is explained by the extremely low level of interest of the population in political matters as well as political immaturity. Considering these facts, the obligation of voting in Brazil should be maintained, the country is not ready for a change. A significant portion of the population is not yet capable of electing their leaders for the sake of the collectivity. Actually, the population needs to be made fully aware that the vote is the greatest weapon that exists against indifference and collective apathy; until then it will be necessary to maintain voting compulsory in Brazil.

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, located in South America, is the fifth largest country for both for the land size and the population. With a country taking up almost half of a continent, the 200 million people only occupy about ten percent of the entire country. Twenty-two percent of the population is under the age of 15.9 There are three main cities; the first is the capital Brasilia, with a population of over two million. The other two cities are San Paulo and Rio de Janeiro; accounting for over 15 million of the people. Throughout Brazil, a majority of the population speaks Portuguese and are generally Christian-based, following the Catholic faith. The currency is called the Brazilian Real (BRL). The BRL is equivalent to about $0.3 United States dollar.

Brazil, like many Latin American nations, is a country undergoing rapid change. The nation’s push to transition from newly industrialized to develop country has forever altered Brazil’s physical geography, level of development, and economic activity.

Portugal claimed the land of Brazil in the year 1500. Independence was declared in 1822.

According to a survey by Transparency International, Brazil ranked 72nd out of 180 countries when it comes to corruption. This is even higher than economies like Turkey, Bulgaria and Cuba (BRAZIL, n.d.).

Brazil is a federal republic it is the largest Country in both South America and Latin America region. It is the world’s fifth largest country by both geographical area and by the. Population the president of Brazil is Dilma Rousseff. The capital of Brazil is Brasilia. Official language is Portuguese. Government types are presidential system, Federal Republic, and constitutional republic. Brazil is a Federal Republic because it has a president who is directly elected, they have a dual house legislature, and the complex judiciary system. The president of Brazil is elected by the people through a two-round system. The president elected was serving four-year term. The president is the head of State, head of government, and commander-in-chief of the

During the past decade Brazil has been one of the fastest growing countries both, economically and socially. The substantial growth has positioned Brazil in the top ten biggest economies of the world and has driven it to become the most developed country of Latin America. The development is not only constrained to the economy, but also to the other social aspects like poverty and inequality, that declined drastically. Although many factors have been involved in the generation of this substantial growth, the most influential ones have been the incentives of the government towards the diversification of the industrial sector, the investment in agriculture

The legal aspects of Brazil are as large and diverse as their population. Brazil is currently a Federal Republic. Similar to the United States, it has three legislative branches, the executive, legislative and judicial (“South America: Brazil”, n.d.). Brazil also has a constitution that sets the rules for its government and citizens, and is very similar to the United States Constitution.

In this paper, I will be analyzing a conflict that have been very present in the News lately in my country and all over the social networks, which is the political situation before and after the impeachment of the former Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff and the mandate of the new president now in the head of state, Michel Temer.

Brazil is a federal republic, consisting of 26 states and the Federal District of Brasília. Each state has its own elected legislature and governor. Brazil has a multiparty system with several political parties sharing the vote. Brazil is governed by a group of five parties that dominate the national political landscape. They are the Partido dos Trabalhadores (Worker's Party), the Partido da Social Democracia Brasileira (Brazilian Social Democracy Party), the Partido do Movimento Democrático Brasileiro (Brazilian Democratic Movement Party), the Democratas (Democrats), and the Partido

Due to Dilma Rousseff’s suspension, the Brazilian government is failing to be stable. Individuals are claiming that Dilma preformed illegal activities, influencing the public to vote her to be running a bad/terrible government. Increasing the severity of this political situation stands the fact that more than Dilma Rousseff was involved, as half of the members of Congress are said to be a part of the corruption scandal.

Introduction: Political parties represent very important factor in order to have a democratic system in particular and a democratic country in general, they work as the mediator between the society and the state and the effectiveness of the party system in any country depend mainly on its ability to achieve the demands of the public. However, in Latin America, not all the countries have that important function of the party system. Brazil and Chile from the period of 1990-2006 show similar type of a party system [both have multi-party politics] but not similar outcome regarding the fulfillment of public demands which should be the priority for any democratic governments]. Party system in Brazil show little coherence which affects the efficiency

In a very common way of thinking, the average person believes that in order for poor countries to develop, environmental concerns must be sacrificed before poverty is alleviated. As a representative of Brazil where poverty is a problem (21.4% of our population 200.4 million) and the large area of rainforest is a home to many species, we today need to understand that this is a problem for all nations. Sanitation, deforestation, and lack of shelter are all things that contribute to the need of natural resources. I think of it as: A person who is not impoverished will go to the store to buy the food they need. The store sources the food from the company and the company gets the food from, farms, nature etc. If you are impoverished you will go
