Brazil and the world cup

Hello classmates

I’ll tell you about general characteristics of Brazil and my opinion about the world cup of football in this country. Brazil is located in the South American continent and it is the fifth biggest country of the world with approximately eight point five millions of square kilometers. According to the census of the year 2013, Brazil’s population is composed by 201.032.714 inhabitants, with the most populated city being Sao Paulo. The Brazilian government is a presidential federative republic currently under the leadership of Dilma Rousseff.

About the relevant social and political problems of Brazil, currently we find the management of the public education that is under the average of Latin America in respect to the preschool attention, and also we find a deficient management of public hospitals and in the distribution of the resources in the midle-low class population.

Now, about the world cup of football, personally I don’t have anything against this sport, but I think that socially it is a harmful event for the cultural process to an improvement in the life quality of all the people of limited resources. Indeed, the stadium that was constructed has been the most expensive of the history of the world cup, resources that could have been used to the enhancement of the education and to decrease poverty too. Not to mention all the evictions carried out in the favelas by the police to clear the construction zone of this world cup’s stadium.

For the reasons that I explained, I have no interest in predicting what country will win the world cup. Thanks for your attention, I hope you understand my opinion and will reflect upon this topic.
