    Cultural Interview of a Brazilian Immigrant

    Brazil is a vast country rich in natural resources and beauty in the continent of South America. Located in the east-central coast of South America, it is the largest country in South America occupying nearly half the continent. Brazil’s topography is vast with its most priceless treasures inarguably being the Amazon Rain Forest. The Amazon River and its components attribute to two fifths of the country with the Amazon Basin making up 40% of the continent of South America (“Brazil”, n.d.). The Portuguese settlers were the first to arrive in Brazil and quickly found they were not alone, discovering the many tribes of natives that called Brazil their home for hundreds and maybe even thousands of years. These Portuguese settlers were not determined to conquer as the Spaniards, but were poor sailors who were seeking items for trade. This made it easy for the settlers to intermarry with the natives as well as the slaves they had brought from Africa, creating the mix of races known in Brazil today (Geographia, 2006). The Portuguese were not the only ones to seek Brazil to escape their situation and they were quickly joined by many immigrants such as French, Dutch, German, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, African and Arab, with Portuguese remaining the dominant and official language of Brazil. These cultures have blended into one…

    The Slum Summary

    Brazil in the 1800’s was a combination of two worlds, the European world, and the New World. Aluísio Azevedo depicts the conflict and synergism of the mixing of these two worlds in The Slum. The Slum is the story of a neighborhood where members of both worlds collide, forced to interact with one another and it becomes a microcosm of the entire country. The characters in this community each represent a facet of the two worlds. By looking at each character and the slum itself, it is possible to decipher Brazil. To gain status in Brazil there is a need to create the right impression and be able to navigate the culture of the times to gain social mobility all while following…

    Social Conditions In Brazil Research Paper

    The situation regarding social conditions in Brazil has always been complex. Issues have not aroused in the spur of a moment, rather been built up over decades. Some severe problems include education, sexuality and family relations. These, in turn, have been affected by many exterior factors, such as economic circumstances. The combination of these has led to a divided society with a high rate of poverty. We find ourselves facing an intractable net of interwoven problems where it is no longer possible to distinguish what influences what. One issue leads to another, and to solve one, one must address the other.…
