Why is Brazil removing their rainforests?

Many aspects should be take into consideration. The Country is developing itself and making same mistakes that other countries did in the past or still doing today, like USA, Russia or China, big aggressors of their own environment and our planet. Brazilian Government is incompetent to enforce its own policy's and fund resources to protect the forest. In the other hand, the industrialized countries in Europe as well as Japan and USA pay high price for noble timbers cut off from the forest, legally or not. Mining is also another destructive force in the rain forest, tons of gold are smuggled to Dubai and worldwide, multinational corporations are there after other minerals to produce aluminum. Poor neglected farmers need clear the land to grow crops and raise cattle. Wild life, fauna and flora has been systematically exploited because its value in scientific researches by developed countries around the world. Every one of us, aware or not, is somehow benefiting from the rain forest destruction, there is no exception here, we live in a globalized world. If you add greed, poverty, incompetence, corruption and hypocrisy in global scale you got your answer. (Tuna Stra)

Who are the Brazilian ancestors?

Well Brazil is a very multicultural country. Just like in the United States's first settlers were the Native Americans, they were also the first settlers in Brazil. Just like the English colonized United States, the Portuguese Colonized the United States. Just like African slaves were brought to America, African slaves were also brought to Brazil. Just like United States, received many immigrants from Europe and Asia during the early 1900s, so did Brazil. I for one my ancestors come from southern Brazil, which is where most Italians, Germans and Polish immigrants settled so most likely, my ancestors could be any of those nationalities. Hope that helped! :)

What has happened in Brazil recently- floods?

Every year the same thing at the time of the summer rains. The metropolitan areas of large cities face flooding that depriving shelter thousands of people, and injure and even kill many others. Usually the biggest losers are poor people from poor neighborhoods who have no safe and ideal for housing, being at the mercy of the precarious urban city.

The floods, today, are the result of a long process of modification and destabilization by human forces of nature that accompanies the rapid and unplanned growth of most cities.

Major causes of floods:

High rainfall in the region

Deforestation

Siltation of river beds

Rectification of rivers. In nature, the rivers with a considerable volume of water are curvilinear, or walk like a snake. This path decreases significantly the speed of the water. Rectify it means increasing your speed, which aggravates the situation on bottlenecks (conversion of water)

High degree of soil sealing for asphalt surfaces and concrete

Growth and disorderly occupation of migrants

High degree of poverty on the outskirts of town, making it impossible for people to have resources to dispose of garbage, for example

Lack of awareness and environmental education administrators and the general population

Omission of the government in urban management and lack of proper sanitation.

The floods, most often occur as a result of human action.

Who discovered Brazil?

On April 22nd, 1500 the Portugese captain Pedro Álvares Cabral voyaged from Portugal to claim Brazil, landing at Porto Seguro. (He sailed back via Africa, and on to India on the same voyage). The first sight of land for him was a mountain, which he named "Monte Pascoal" or "Paschal Mountain", because it was Easter on that specific day. He called the natives "Indians" (as the Spanish had) because he thought he had reached India.

However, please note that Brazil was inhabited by people when he arrived. A contemporary account of a voyage made up the Amazon river describes the area being densely populated, with farms along the river banks and a great number of large villages. By 150 years later, voyagers only described the jungles we see today. It is likely that the first European visitors brought diseases to the Amazon which wiped out many of the native populations. The point is that Pedro Cabral did not actually "discover" Brazil except that it was the first time Europeans knew of the land. There were people there before him.

What are the problems in Brazil?

Although Brazil has advanced in the social area in recent years, there are still many problems that affect the lives of Brazilians. Below we list a list of the main problems in Brazil nowadays.

Unemployment

Although job creation has increased in recent years thanks to economic growth, there are still millions of unemployed Brazilians. The economy has grown, but not enough to generate the jobs needed in Brazil. The lack of a good educational background and professional qualification and hinder quality of life of the unemployed. Many have opted for informal employment (without portfolio recorded), a factor that is not positive, because these workers are left without the guarantee of labor rights.

Violence and Crime

Violence is growing every day, particularly in large cities. The crimes are increasingly present in daily life. In the newspapers, radios and televisions are witnessing scenes of robberies, assaults and crimes. The lack of a greater rigor in compliance with laws, coupled with social injustice may in part explain the worsening of these problems in our country.

Pollution

This environmental problem has directly affected the health of people in our country. The rivers are polluted by domestic and industrial waste, bringing disease and affecting ecosystems.

The air, especially in large cities, you is getting tons of greenhouse gases, byproducts of burning fossil fuels (oil products - mainly gasoline and diesel). This type of pollution directly affects human health, causing respiratory illnesses. The elderly and children are the main victims.

Health

Nowadays, people who have a better financial condition are looking for health plans and private system, since public health is a state of acute crisis. Overcrowded hospitals, drug shortages, strikes by employees, broken appliances, queues for care, poorly maintained buildings are the main problems encountered in hospitals and clinics in public schools. The population most affected is one that depends on this medical care, or poorer people.

Education

Data on the performance of students, mostly from public schools, are alarming. Public education encounters various problems and difficulties: poorly maintained buildings, lack of teachers, few learning resources, low wages, strikes, violence in schools, among others. This framework is the result of low public investment in this sector. The result is the poor training of Brazilian students.

Social inequality

Brazil is a country of great social contrast. Income distribution is uneven, with a small portion of society is rich, while most of the population lives in poverty and misery. Although income distribution has improved in recent years, depending on social programs, we still live in a country very unfair.

Housing

The housing deficit is big in Brazil. There are millions of families who can not afford adequate housing. In big and medium cities is very common the presence of slums and tenements. We also found people living on the streets, under viaducts and bridges. In these places, people have an unhealthy condition of life, through many difficulties.
