The Water Of The Developed World Water

Sao Paulo is Brazil’s financial center and is well-known for its breathtaking views, its abundant cultural institutions and for their rich architectural scene. However, there are many negative issues that are ravaging the lives of the citizens in this city. For starters, Sao Paulo has terribly congested traffic, a significant amount of crime and gang violence, a lack of quality in the medicine-health field, a high amount of air pollution, and also water shortages. However, these are not the biggest of their obstacles. Sao Paulo’s most pressing issue of the moment is the informal housing that is plaguing the city. This essay will first analyze Sao Paulo, Brazil’s informal housing issue, then will compare Sao Paulo’s unique obstacle to similar

The eastern part of the plateau around Sao Paulo and Belo Horizonte and the east coast are densely populated since several natural harbors became ports and thus encouraged trade and the growth of industry. Being the second capital of Brazil, Rio De Janeiro is being developed as an economic, cultural and administrative centre and its population density is become higher. Sao Paulo is regard as one of the fastest-growing cities in the world also become more and more densely populated as it had high levels of federal investment, a good communications network are developed and modern services are provided consequently. Lastly, Brasilia, the new federal capital of Brazil, is also densely populated due to government planning (the government try to redress the imbalance in population density and wealth between the south-east of the country and the interior.

As Rio’s favela residents watch their homes smashed to rubble, working-class people in urban areas worldwide are forced out of their apartments as rents skyrocket and local businesses are shut down. Gentrification is, without a doubt, a two-sided coin. For new-comers it provides affordable housing and job opportunities, but for those displaced it often means the loss of a livelihood, a school, a place to live. People are forced out of cities they have known all their lives and young people returning after only a few months or years can hardly recognize their own neighborhoods

Since 1980 and the entrance of gangs, the violence in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro has skyrocketed. Through the combination of several factors, the favelas have become very dangerous place for its residents to live in. Janice Perlman describes these factors as the ‘ingredients’ that create a ‘violence stew.’ These ‘ingredients’ each add to violence and put its residents in a more vulnerable position. Most of these ingredients are caused by a strong drug gangs, indifferent government with unaccountable police, and vulnerable poor population. Each these alone would not necessarily increase the violence seen in Rio today, but when combined together create this ‘violence stew.’

Brazil has 13 cities with over one million residents. The main capital is Brasilia, Brazil has 13 cities with over one million residents. Three important cities in Brazil including São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Salvador. Brazil is a diverse country with ethnic groups including: 54% European, 39% mixed European-African, 6%

In the major cities pickpocketing, taxi scams, robbery and drugs have been a huge issue that affects the quality of life. It is because of all the poor people who do not have anything, so they try to steal things such as money, so they could make a living. The crime rate has also increased because of all the carnivals, parades and beaches which have thousands of people which are very crowded. They have made robbery, gang violence, money laundry and a variety of scams the way of life in Brazil. President Michel Temer who was elected in August 2016, believes that one way to lower the crime rate is to first eradicate or decrease the favelas within Brazil. He has created various programs and improving the structures of the buildings themselves. Brazil is a federal presidential constitutional which is constructed off a representative democracy. It is divided into three branches, the executive, the legislative and the judiciary. Most people of Brazil are pleased with this type of government, however brazilians want them to do more to help improve their quality of life. There are also a lot of people who do not want change because they find joy in pickpocketing, robbing, drug trafficking and many

The World Bank (1989) shows that the richest 20 percent of the population owned 67.5 percent of all the income, and while this is an older study, the income inequality is still highly pronounced. BBC News reported that despite some tightening of the gap, Brazil is still the 12th most unequal state in the world (Kay, Farrell, & Tayman, 2014). The most severe consequence of high income inequality is that money is power. To clarify, if only 20 percent of the population have 67.5 percent of the income, they have a disproportionate amount of power over the remaining 80 percent of the population. In this situation, laws may not created any longer (due to the lobbying power of money) that have the interest if the poor in

Despite the respectable figures, the economy is not considered developed. Although the economic changes since 1947 increased the countries per capita income above US$2,000 in 1980, per capita income in 1995 was still only US$4,630. Structural change and growth have not distorted drastically Brazil's awfully unequal distribution of opportunity, wealth and income. Even with striking increments in economic growth and output, the number of poor has increased sharply. The rural area of Brazil’s Northeast Region, or in the country's large cities or metropolitan areas is where the greatest concentration of the poor reside. The mission of fixing the country's development pattern has only been complicated by the political and economic troubles of

Economic inequalities and social control has been a long lasting issue, especially at the end of the twentieth century. Crimes are a frequent topic of conversation in the country, especially in large urban areas. The murder rate in São Paulo is almost five times that of the New York metropolitan area. The country of Brazil has changed throughout the centuries and many believe that military events shaped what the country is now to date (Advameg, Inc. 2017). The role of the military in Brazilian life declined significantly following the military dictatorship that lasted from 1964 to 1985. By the 20th

Rio de Janeiro has undergone rapid urban growth over the past 40 years. With around 6 million people living in the city itself, Rio today still ranks as one of the world’s largest cities. Most of the migration began in the 1920s as industrialisation attracted new migrant populations. Industries moved to suburbs and workers had to follow. By the 1950s suburbs were so crowded that the only areas still to be occupied were those which were environmentally at risk.

In 1978, the Brazilian military dictatorship was on the decline and favelados, liberation theologians and political activists successfully mobilized to defend favela residents against eviction. The late 1970s and early 1980s saw favela residents and governor's attempt to legitimize their housing establishments within the favelas. Not only were they concerned with questions of legal housing, but they were also attempting to break the city's cycle poverty. McCann’s begins his book with a deep focus on the promises of change that later on bring sharp contrasts with the failures of the movement. What subsequently results is a potent description of broken hopes and a road of political disappointments.

Being a country that has little to no data about the drug trafficking and use in many of their cities, Brazil does pose a tough task to analyze at the macro-level. Rio de Janeiro is a perculiar place in Brazil that is prime for research of these problems due to the availability of quality data, the influence of the government on the behavior and customs of their citizens, and the importance of the city when it comes to drug trafficking and the policies against it. In the articles by Pengalese and Koonings they both do a great job of providing an overview of the Brazilian drug criminalization while focusing primarily on the city of Rio De Janiero. The major problem lied in the favelas where the consumption and trafficking of drugs increased

Despite all that Brazil has to offer such as agricultural and industrial power is still wide spread over parts of the country. This is mainly because of income equality and social problems that are still unresolved .”The most vulnerable groups among Brazil's poor rural people are women, youth, indigenous peoples and quilombolas (afro descendents) communities” (http://www.ruralpovertyportal.org). The poverty is wide spread in Brazil in the country and slums areas. “2.6 percent of Brazilians live below the poverty line” (Hub 2016). Poverty is high due to not enough medical care, lack of water and situations faculties and the lack of education and employment. The big social problem that Brazil government have to face is not enough education, housing
