Latest brazil Frequently Asked Questions:
ok i was wondering about brazil Is there differences within the country ? how does brazil compare with us the UK? how developed is brazil? it would be great if you could help thanks x
Answer:Let's answer you question by question. 1) Is there differences within the country? It depends of what you mean about difference. However, there are good and bad differences in Brazil. As you know, Brazil is a country which was a colony of Portugal, one of the most important countries in Europe on that time. As you also know, Brazil, like the other Latin American countries, was a colony of exploitation, which the basic concept is taking out everything of value of the colony and take it to the metropolis. Why am I explain that? Because that was the beginning of the difficulties which Brazil would pass through the coming years. However, several other factors appeared to contribute that Brazil got in a long crisis: corruption, debts and, mainly, dictatorship. Then, with several accumulated problems and no resolution, Brazil had and have (but less than before) some problems like: people living in bad situations, no incentive to education, high level of criminality, a bad distribution of income etc. Thank Heavens Brazil is growing up each year, letting its past in the past. But there are several problems which Brazil needs and have to solve them to favor not only its image to the international and nation enterprisers but also to Brazilian people who are the main contributors of this Brazil we see nowadays. If you're saying about race, culture etc. For sure! We use to say that here there are several Brazils in a Brazil. You can see this difference not only in accents or landscapes but mainly in the people, in the culture of the Brazilian people which changes from city to city, state to state and region to region. 2) Is there differences within the country ? Well! I rather say that there are more differentiations than comparisons between Brazil and UK. But, anyway, I'll put some differentiations and some comparisons (if I find one). Differentiations: We didn't exist until 1500 to Europe - UK always existed to Europe Brazil was a colony - UK was never a colony Brazil has amerindians - UK doesn't Brazil had several slaves - I don't even know if UK had this system Brazil had just 2 kings as an independent territory - UK had several of them Here is a Federative Republic - UK is a Parliamentary Republic We prefer cofee - You prefer tea etc. Comparisons We both love soccer (football) We have an old rivality with Argentina - you have an old rivality with France etc. 3) How developed is brazil? Well! Brazil doesn't have the same development of UK, but, for this, it doesn't exist comparison: we were a colony and you were, since Roman Empire, Great Britain. Count the years! Brazil is seeking its place among the developed countries. Although Brazil is among the 10 biggest economies, there are some other factors which makes a country being coinsidered developed: education, a low level of violence, a high level of security; anyway, giving better conditions to its population, Brazil gets its development. Thank God Brazil has a president like Lula and I hope the next president can be like him, because I think that just a man who lived in poverty can feel what a poor person feels. See what kind of place Lula was born: http://einsteinnjr.files.wordpress.com/2008/06/sertao.jpg I'm not idolizing him. I'm just saying that he has made what no other president had. At least Brazil is considered an emerging country and not an underdeveloped country anymore. I hope I've helped you!

I have to make a scrapbook for my country report it must have more then 10 photes of brazil . But I don' t know what a scrapbook is and what photes of Brazil to.Thank you !
Answer:You don't know what a scrapbook is?? Exactly what it implies, a book holding 'scraps' of things like photos, ticket stubs...memorabilia. To make a scapbook of Brazil, print out pictures of maps, leaders, landmarks. Add printing of important news articles. It would be great (but doubtful) if you could get the national flower to press in the book. (Cattleya labiata, sometimes known as Corsage Orchid is the National Flower of Brazil) Use your imagination.
