Social And Economic Development Of Rio De Janeiro

The value of community involvement and improvement played a vital role in the success of this program. For example, one of the major events this program was a movie night where over 100 residents attended. The

The Ruby Lake neighborhood is in a bit of a turmoil due to a recent crisis revealing a lack in their current emergency preparedness. As this concern came to light, a deeper deficit in the community was apparent. An outdated needs assessment governed the neighborhood. A neighborhood which has drastically changed since its inception 10 years before. So, to remedy the situation, community activists and liaisons have come together with the local mayor to find a solution. Before they can begin to solve the problem at hand, a more in-depth understanding of the needs present in the community. These strategies denote several ways to begin collecting the needed information, but not all data gathering methods are equal. To capture the true level of the needs of this neighborhood, the qualitative and quantitative methods for data collection will require further investigating to demonstrate the strengths and weaknesses in addressing the Ruby Lake community needs (Capella University, n.d.c).

To engage community partners this student plans to set up initial meetings with each identified community resource and introduce the proposed program. During these meetings it will be discussed how the program

ver time, human development and distribution can be drastically changed and differed according to human and environmental factors. This has very much been the case in Brazil. Over the course of many years major cities like Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro have seen a significant increase in population density, but the creation of Brasilia and government funding of northern cities such as Manaus has also caused an evident shift in population distribution. This change has been created as a result of increase in government funding in projects such as urbanization of northern cities, job opportunities, harsh physical features and both internal and external migration.

Brazil is located in Eastern South America and borders the Atlantic Ocean. Brazil is very comparable to the USA, being only slightly smaller in size. The economy is well-developed in agriculture, mining, manufacturing, and service sectors, and it has an expanding middle class. Brazil was under Portuguese rule until it gained independence in 1822 and maintained a monarchical system of government until the abolition of slavery in 1888.

Northeast Brazil is one of the poorest areas in a country where there is an incredibly great divide between the wealthy and the poor. Similar to the situation in the United States, many impoverished families are caught in a cycle where being born into poverty means your resources are less accessible than that of someone born into money. As a result, the young people remain impoverished throughout their lives and have children that face the same struggle continuing the cycle.. Education is one of the critical resources that may be able to assist in removing someone from an impoverished situation. Unfortunately, in places with a large population of poor, the school systems tend to be in poor condition or non-existent.

The concepts of geography, government and economics affect the quality of life in Brazil because of the positive and negative change throughout the country. Brazil is one of the largest countries is the world with a population over 208 million. Their quality of life has grown immensely as it once was covered in rainforest and grasslands. However, it is still mostly covered with the Amazon Rainforest but their are also many cities where most people live and work. Two of the largest cities in Brazil are São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Farm lands are nearly extinct do to the tropical climate throughout the country, which can make it extremely difficult for people to plant anything outside of just grains. Most Brazilians live a decent life, however

On the surface, Brazil does not appear as a country ravaged by poverty however, portions of it are; and its environmental stability is an enormous factor of this. In 2000 the United Nations concocted a plan to assist countries like Brazil; thus the Millennium Development Goals emerged. In essence, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs for short) are a set of targets set to challenge extreme poverty across the globe. As Brazil is not a ‘traditional’ country in the subject of poverty so a specific target had to be included for it to fit in with the MDGs. Target 9 includes two factors: the amount of land covered by forest and the protection of biodiversity, which pinpoint Brazil as a country in need. In Brazil, tourism and the need for lumber are dwindling both the biodiversity of the country, as well as cutting down on the area of land covered by forest. Therefore, Brazil’s ecology and demand for resources cause it to be looked at as a country in need, despite its modernization being equivalent to the rest of the world. With this being said, Brazil’s ecosystem has remained relatively unaffected by change in the last two decades. It will be challenging for Brazil to achieve the seventh Millennium Development Goal of ensuring environmental stability due its lack of a strong governmental structure, a dwindling economy, and the miniscule amount of groups assisting Brazil.

For example, social mix is being articulated throughout the paper but there isn't any practical and concrete plan on how through social mixing, that the policies of healthcare, employment and education are being revised to improve the welfare of the working class residents. That is, “the benefits promised for low-income groups, [which are] improvements in employment, income, educational outcomes, youth delinquency, and health are not being achieved” (August, 2014, para. 4).Solutions to social problems are not being provided, but instead centering the premise around a baseless assumption towards a superficial diversity. That is, I believe that the goal of social cohesion and the problem of improving the working class’ opportunity has no apparent potential in seeing improvements. I hope that the group improve their policy through careful consideration of the stigmatization that middle class might have around their working class peers and provide concrete measures on how to lessen them. Lastly, it might be a more well rounded policy if the group could provide more feasible plans towards actual concrete measures to tackle social problems of unemployment and the education gap between the two classes. After following these considerations, I believe that this policy will better improve the social conditions of a social mix

In 1978, the Brazilian military dictatorship was on the decline and favelados, liberation theologians and political activists successfully mobilized to defend favela residents against eviction. The late 1970s and early 1980s saw favela residents and governor's attempt to legitimize their housing establishments within the favelas. Not only were they concerned with questions of legal housing, but they were also attempting to break the city's cycle poverty. McCann’s begins his book with a deep focus on the promises of change that later on bring sharp contrasts with the failures of the movement. What subsequently results is a potent description of broken hopes and a road of political disappointments.

I am researching the economy of Brazil. The definition of economy: The Management of the income, expenditures, etc of a household, business, community, or government. Careful management of wealth, resources, etc; avoidance of waste by careful planning use; thrift or thrifty use. (1) The system or range of economic activity in a country, region, or community. (2)

Casavela is an urban slum located on the outskirts of São Paulo, Brazil. Casavela has a population of 750, formed in the early 1990’s as a temporary settlement for migrants relocating from poor rural areas and small towns. There are 125 dwellings in Casavela, with an average of 6 people per dwelling. The aim of this report is with US$4 million to transform the urban slum over two years, improving the social and environmental conditions. Due to the budget there is a need to prioritise the needs of this urban slum, and implement appropriate programs, structures and services which will have the most significant impact.

As the largest economy in Latin America and seventh largest (by nominal GDP) in the world, the Brazilian economy is experiencing many positive effects, characterized by it’s inward-oriented economy and moderate free-market trading, it has a diverse and sophisticated services industryi. Although undergoing extensive makeover, the financial sector provides local businesses with a wide variety of products and is successfully bringing in new entrants, creating an upturn in the economy, and furthermore incentivizing rural inhabitants to move to the more urban spacesii. What is most striking about its urbanization process is the rapid and advanced development that it has undergone. For a process that took North America and Europe almost 150

One of the main challenges of the project is to convince the population of the favela that the benefits obtained by submitting to the state authority (security, recognized land ownership, access to education) are more important than costs (taxes, billing services, civil obedience)

As economic inequality leads to social inequality, there is notable disparity in Brazil in terms of overall quality of life (Martinelli, 2010). This is extremely evident as Brazil has one of the highest global rates of inequality in income and energy consumption (Martinelli, 2010). The education system in Brazil also accentuates this inequality, as approximately 10% of the Brazilian population is unable to read and write (Martinelli, 2010).
