Similaritys And Dissimilarities And Similarities Between India And Brazil

The Gupta’s promoted Sanskrit, which became the language of educated people, but this, did not change the diversity of popular, regional languages. Both India and China were technologically advanced in their societies with new inventions and ideas.

Different nations have different cultural practices. Even though globalization has to lead to the extinction of numerous cultures, most Americans and Brazilians still practice their traditional cultures. Today most people think that because Brazil is in America, they have the same culture. This is not true since both America and Brazil have numerous differences regarding their culture.

Family comes first for the majority of Brazilians. I think it is similar to Mexican Culture. There are a couple of similarities that I can see, for example birthday parties are extravagant. Even though most families struggle with finances, they get sponsored by family which a called “padreninos/ madrinas.” Brazilians and Mexicans have larger families than in the United States. Families band together when formal events happen. Birthdays, weddings, funerals, holidays, festivals, and sports these are examples of when the family comes together and celebrates as one. If one does not attend then they should have an excellent reason. If not, the family will investigate why. Personally, I have missed a couple of my families gathering and they publicly shamed me, which encouraged me to never miss another one again. They express that family comes before

Both countries have transplanted cultures: Portugal for Brazil and Great Britain for USA, but the process of colonization that started in Brazil differs from the process of colonization of the USA, for example. Europeans didn’t go to Brazil to live and develop the territory for their own benefit. Actually, they went there to explore its rich natural recourses and came back home with lots of money.

Brazil borders every nation except Chile and Ecuador. Brazil is divided into Brazilian Highlands, or plateau, in the South American River Basin in the North. Brazil has rainforests, rivers, grasslands, and beaches. Brazil has more people and land than any other place in South America. Over a third of Brazil is covered by the Amazon and it’s over 200 tributaries. There are many rivers in Brazil. One major river is the Amazon River and it’s actually the second largest river in the world. The Amazon River is anywhere between 6,259 km / 3,903 mi and 6,712 km/ 4,195 mi long. The Amazon River supplies 20 percent of all the water that the world’s rivers pour into the ocean. Brazil also has rainforests. The largest rainforest is located in Brazil itself and that is the Amazon Rainforest. It has more than 1.2 billion acres in size. In matter of fact the rainforest is located

Much like the U.S., Brazilian culture is extremely diverse. Brazil’s current population of 190 million represents various nationalities from European to African (Country Facts). Brazil has an extremely diverse culture with some common pervasive threads that grouped together give Brazil a national identity.

In order to completely grasp the colonization of Brazil, one must first take a look at the different global forces that shaped the settlement and growth of Brazil. Beginning with the first inhabitants of Brazil in order to fully understand how it all began, then moving on to when the Portuguese arrived in 1500, and finally understanding how Brazil gained its independence will successfully explain how different global forces shaped the settlement and growth of Brazil. Factors that are still apart of Brazil today due to European colonization is the huge population of indigenous people living in the jungles of Brazil and the extremely intermingled population. Without the European explorers sailing to Brazil the population might of never, or at least to the intensity of it today, be intermixed. The indigenous people may still life on the outskirts of Brazil, instead of never being forced inward into the jungle.

tourism in the country continues to expand, and Brazil was chosen to host the 2014 FIFA

Brazil’s industrial sector is diversified, from agriculture to manufacturing. Agriculture is a main economic activity in the country and involves farming and herding. Being the 5thn largest country in the world there is enough land for farming and keeping livestock. Farming gives Brazil the ability to be the greatest exporter of sugarcane, coffee, tropical fruits, soya beans, and cotton, tobacco and forest products (Bekaert 2010).

As Brazil has grown it has required a greater amount of material in order to sustain its increasing growth. Initially the Amazon Forest wood was harvested in order to construct such things as hospitals, schools, and homes and although it initially did not have that large an impact on the rainforest it did slowly become worse due to population growth. At the time (1960's onward) Brazils population was around 72,000,000 whilst the population in the Amazon region only made up a small portion of that figure it still had increased dramatically from 2 to 18 million people which was largely due to official development policies which began around that time.

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. The economy is well-developed in agriculture, mining, manufacturing, and service sectors, and it has an expanding middle class. Brazil was under Portuguese rule until it gained independence in 1822 and maintained a monarchical system of government until the abolition of slavery in 1888.

Brazil’s national language is Portuguese. Like the United States’ English differs from England, Brazil also developed a character of its own. The difference is mostly from the influence of Brazil’s Indians. Other influences are attributed to the African heritage and German, Italian and Spanish immigrants. Their alphabet has three fewer letters than English, missing “k”, “w”, and “y.”

This policy memo addresses the development and expansion of the cattle ranching industry in Brazil, which has contributed to the mass deforestation of the Brazilian Amazon in the last 40 years. It exposes the regional and global consequences to deforestation and provides strategies for the Brazilian government to sustainably manage cattle ranching industries while protecting the future of the Amazon. The rainforest ecosystem is an immense reserve of natural recourses that is far more valuable than the beef produced on Brazilian cattle ranches. Not only does the rainforest create habitat for up to 65% of the world’s biodiversity, but when harvested sustainably, it provides humans with an abundance of spices, foods, oils, medicines

This paper will deal with a country located in South America. I will introduce you to Brazil and information relating to this country. I will also discuss several interesting and fun facts related to this amazing country. My research will include some of the famous landmarks, languages spoken there, as well as some of the customs and traits of that particular country.

Brazil has five marked ecosystems, which include the tropical rainforest, the Pantanal (tropical wetland), the Cerrado (tropical savannah), Mata Atlantica (Atlantic forest) and the pampas (Fertile plains). Brazil also has a large number of mountains that range from 6,000 to 9,000 feet above sea level. None of these mountains are covered in snow, although snow occasionally falls on certain parts of Brazil. Most rivers have their origins in mountain ranges and that is why mountains are important in the life of Brazil (Hunnicutt, 1949).
