I have seen the things adults even children do just to get a little bit of money in their hands, being in the Favela which is one of the poorest places in brazil , the drug corruption is serious. The lower class economy that no one likes to associate with just because it's known to be dangerous with their own gangs , and going around killing whoever they want even police officers. In my opinion the Favela is no place for anyone, even when tourist try to visit Brazil and visit Rio de Janeiro they will be in danger. The drugs and gangs are on a rise, you think gangs are bad out here? Well think again. Think where it all originated back on the islands. The poverty in Brazil is serious, having the governments frozen and everyone protesting against the president, blaming her for the debt, the way they have portrayed her to be called an iron lady in the beginning and now fallen into her mistakes and her big spending problem causing more and more poverty in brazil. There are some children who strive to get out, while others are being forced into gangs and feel like they should be a part of a gang in order to be protected and helped.

As of 2014 “Heroin is now causing more deaths than car crashes or violent crime”. This concerning statistic was brought forth from Retro Report’s film “Heroin and the War on Drugs” published by The New York Time’s. The saddening video clip commences with the 1960’s when America’s heroin drug problem truly began to flourish. It voices Richard Nixon during his presidential campaign ad of 1968 where he stated “crimes of violence in America will double by 1972. We cannot accept that kind of future for America” and continues on by exposing the harsh drug laws implemented by Nelson Rockefeller.

Despite their position as a growing economic power in South America, Brazil has one of the highest levels of wealth inequality in the world due to a largely land owning based wealth system. While many in government push for land redistribution, the landowners claim state appropriation and use excessive force and intimidation to ensure the status quo remains unchanged. This creates an environment where most citizens fall into one of two categories, landowners and farm workers. The greatest source of employment relates to the exportation of sugarcane and ethanol made from sugarcane.

Introduction Brazil's independence takes place in a relatively short period of time. Which can be officially placed between February 18, 1822 and March 8, 1824, which, compared to other wars of independence in different parts of the world, we can say that it is smaller, and also comparing the way it is carried out After this independence, we can say that, although the conflict was not totally peaceful, it was a less bloody war, in comparison with the majority of the wars of the other Spanish-American countries.

Brazil’s Economic problem prior to 2000 and Evidences: During the early 1990s the Brazilian economy was in shambles with the shrinking of the economy in three out of the previous six years.

The legend attribute poverty to an inherited trap which can be overcome by foreign aid programs to push the economy up Poor countries of today aren’t necessarily so because they started off poor and couldn’t develop; statistics show that countries with above-average aid had a growth similar to those with below-average aid. Foreign aid can do well to the economy, but it is not a mean to overcome poverty. Chad, despite foreign aid, had a growth of nearly 0% in 50 years, while Botswana with less aid sprung

The large contrast between rich and poor is obvious and undeniable. I am unprepared for these overwhelming impressions. I realize that I was exclusively thinking of my Brazilian family background since I decided to come here and didn't even try to imagine how this journey will be like. When the bus leaves the city, I am glad to catch sight of woods and meadows instead of a concrete jungle. The rest of the drive is comparatively unexciting and I am even asleep for a
