The rapid growth of Rio de Janeiro's population has led to a severe shortage of housing. Millions of people had to build their own houses from crowbar materials (wood, metals, sheet, a mix of clay and mud). That kind of temporary houses well-known as favelas in Brazil. In 70’s the amount of favelas rose, because of people’s migration from rural areas to the city searching for job opportunities. Although favelas full of poverty, violence and social exclusion. The residents’ life conditions are the worst. As the picture demonstrates, the favelas are settled in the hills and suffer from landslides during heavy rains.(www.joinrio.com) Undoubtedly, the existence of favelas influence on migration: there is no sewerage provision, no water, electricity, disease is common and many people are unemployed.

Brazil is bound to host in a two-year span the largest sport events in the World, The 2014 Soccer World Cup and The Olympic games in 2016. The country will attract a lot of investors looking for some brand exposure since the whole world will have their eyes turned to this tropical country. These events present opportunities for Brazil to benefit from tourism and prove to the world that it is ready to take its place as an important piece of global governance. Although Brazil has a flourishing economy, it still has many characteristics of a third world country. Social issues remain present in the country’s politics. There are several concerns regarding the capability of an emerging country to host events with that stature.

According to our system, it is very unlikely to have teachers like Tapia. When we read the conclusion part of the article written by: Meroni’s, Vera and Costas, when they say: “As it turns out, not just education itself but also the skills acquired through education and taught to students drive socio-economic performance.”(pg. 14) we understand that this wheel gap, we face the embarrassing reality that our performance in real life is inefficient, as it is in reading, the example of "sapo", when the author said: ‘“Because Mr. Blessington told me I was going to end up in jail, so why waste my time doing homework?”’(Quinonez 171) all these internal and external influence received, led him to surrender and not only that, it is understood that our economic performance also depends on it. This allows us to understand why, in reading of Quinonez, this school has teachers like Blessington, the economic deficiency plays a role in determining the quality of teachers who work in different schools; And Julia de Burgos high school is not the exception. The skills acquired in our outer life, they also have a large weight in our future success or failure. But what can one develop skills in a neighborhood lacking? What kind of friends generates a neighborhood so? Understandably the position of "sapo" if we see the external
Most public school in Colombia are underfunded and have very few resources. According to the CIA Fact book education expenditures equal to 4.4% of the GDP. School life expectancy is 13 years and the unemployment rate for your ages between 15- 24 is 21.9 %. These numbers are in direct correlation with the terrorism conflict.

President Santos realizes the importance of education assured that “If we want to be free of poverty, if we want to combat it and if we wish to be the most socially unequal continent in the word, worse than Africa, education has to be our primary tool”. Santos believes that this has to be an “American movement. All of the Latin American states have to join together and make education a fundamental objective by creating a regional education

Somebody shouted should we ask for a rise of 3000 escudos. From across the hall the answer was no. 4000. Then no. 5000 escudos” (Robinson 2).

The concentration on commercialization and finding new revenue streams erodes this core Olympic principle, as it begets focusing on the subset of the world population with the most purchasing power. Specifically, the Western population with high disposable time and income: “Global sport can serve the role as a unifier of nations, building social capital and inter-cultural understanding of liberation and democracy. However, the present structure of global sport can be seen as a promotion of the consumer-dominated phase of western capitalism” (McGuire 64).The IOC’s heightened focus on commercialization has come to directly contradict Olympic principle number two: “the goal of Olympism is to place sport at the service of the harmonious development of humankind” (Olympic Charter 13). This excerpt is a criticism of the IOC’s recent Celebrating Humanity
