Question

What view do you have from Brazil? I mean, what do think when you heard "Brazil"?

Answer 1

friendly people (for the majority)

amazon

sao paulo

rio de janiero

beach

beautiful people

futebol (soccer)

good food

great night life, where the party keeps going

and for all of the people's hardships...people are always laughing and making the best of things.

Answer 2

A country of intense extremes. I have love-hate relationship with my country....

A few examples to show you what I mean:

extremelly rich people (very small %) vs. extremelly poor people (everyone else except for a wee little middle class struggling to stay that way)

incredible natural beauty vs. people littering, polluting everything

amazing natural resources vs. incredibly corrupt government/society

soulfully beautiful men, women and children vs. miserable beaten homeless men, women and children being killed on the streets by off-duty police and militias

intensily proud and patriotic nation vs. insecure, neurotic people who idolize anything foreign as inately better than anything national (and those people will all give me a thumbs down for this posting!)

innovative leadership in many professional areas like dentistry, architecture and IT vs. Lei de Gerson or Lei do Malandro (which means: get what you can no matter who it hurts, dishonesty is cool if you benefit from it and being honest is the same as being a fool)

I'm a Brazilian who refuses to wear the blindfold of uncritical patriotism and who loves her country dearly with no end of hope that someday it will rise above it's own insecurities and be a place where all people regardless of race and social class can lead a good life.

Police killing street children
