Topic: Politics in Brazil and Germany The two nation-states of Brazil and Germany differ in many ways: economically, politically and socially. Germany's powerful economy, rich and wealthy society, and efficient government have put the country as a leader in the international scene. On the other hand, Brazil is still yet to emerge as a true democracy and is faced with a lot of problems. This paper is focused on political differences that both of the states have. Section 1 – Comparison of the electoral
The Structure of Political System in Brazil Many countries in the world adopted the unique and valuable political system of the US, and the political system of Brazil mainly is oriented toward so called pro-American political system.

Constitution. Slavery still remained legal though. Since Europeans had discovered Brazil, slavery had been its history. “The inability or unwillingness of Brazil to abolish this traffic… involved the empire in a bitter and protracted diplomatic controversy with Great Britain.” It was not until 1888 that slavery was abolished in Brazil and it was met with some opposition from major landowners and the military. In addition, Brazil outlawed slavery 25 years after the United States did in the Emancipation

Comparing John's culture to mine was very interesting. I'm from Brazil, a third world country in South America and I'm also a communications major at Tri-State University. In general, I can say that our cultures are somewhat similar. Our countries are both a democracy. Elections, a president, and the senate are common characteristics of our democratic countries.

Most people have no idea what it feels like to be in prison, and it is certainly a place no individual would like to be in. Brazil has the world’s fourth largest prison population and every single day more and more violence is occurring within the prison walls. To make matters worse, the violence inside the incarceration facilities has lead to an increase in violence outside of the prisons. Overcrowding, limited resources, gangs, etc. are contributing factors to what has lead to this prison anarchy

Pacifying the Favelas of Rio de Janeiro: Towards a Redefinition Clientelism in Favelas Politics Thesis Statement I would argue that the Pacification Policy implemented in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro since 2008 will redefine clientele politics in the favelas.

I would argue that politicians engage
Neoliberalism in Chile In this paper, I argue that Neoliberalism is the product of an extreme leftist movement and US intervention that Chile’s former dictator, Augusto Pinochet who ruled between the years 1973 and 1990, used to transform Chile into an economic power during the wound down of the cold war era. This essay first analyses the US’s fears of communism taking root in Latin America and the extreme measures the US took throughout Latin America in brainwashing military personnel and promoting
