Brazil. Capital: Rio de Janeiro. GDP: very small.Dictatorsh.Language: Spanish. Pop.: 15 million. Do you agree?

Question

The Brazilian GDP is very small; there is no electricity in many places. Other important city is Buenos Aires, with indigenous population. There are no industries. The country is a dictatorship regime since 1987, when Fernan Cortéz was elected president. The official language is Spanish. About 91% of the population is homeless. Almost all Brazilians are Indigenous, but there is a small group of Spanish population that dominates the power. To survive, many women are prostitutes and about 89% of children need to work and don’t have classes.

This is a little research to understand what foreigners think about Brazil (I would like to know if it’s true what the Brazilian media says). Please, if you answered this question, take a look in Wikipedia to see the information.

Answer 1

I don't need to look in wiki to know that about every sentence of this is bullshit.

Answer 2

I think you have a few facts wrong...

firstly, the official language of Brazil is NOT Spanish, but Portuguese. You are right that there is a small Spanish-speaking community, but they are NOT ruling the rest of Brazil and are mainly immigrants from adjacent countries such as Paraguay and Argentina.

A few thousand people crossed from Paraguay in 1989-90 after President Stroessner was ousted by a small military coup and General Rodriguez took power. These remain mainly in the south west of Brazil near Iguazu, where they first settled. Others have emigrated from Argentina over a number of years to escape the rampant inflation that often afflicts that country.

The majority of Brazilians live in the major cities such as San Paulo, Rio de Janiero and Brazilia plus many others across the country. There is a homeless population, but the majority of people DO have homes and your figure of 91% is completely inaccurate.

The capital city of Brazil is Brazilia, NOT Rio de Janiero.

There are industries, they make Volkswagon Beetle cars there, and have done for many years. There is also a high production of alcohol for fuel and most cars are designed to run on alcohol, not gasoline. They still have (after many, many years) the world's largest coffee production.

If Wikipedia actually says all the things you mention, which I doubt, then it is not worth even looking at...it is wrong!

There are compulsary schools in almost every village and town and children are required to attend. Literacy is still fairly low, however, at around 70%. (it is mainly adults, over 50 years old who remain illiterate)

'Many' could mean anything...I'm sure there are 'many' women who are prostitutes, just as 'many' women are prostitutes in New York, Los Angleles, London, Berlin, Paris etc. etc. Your statement implies that the number is higher in Brazil...I doubt this very much. (If no-one except a few 'ruling' Spanish have any money, who could afford to use them?)

I think you need to recheck your facts before making such sweeping generalisations about any country.

Obviously you can find out what ONE foreigner thinks about Brazil by reading your own question. But that does not make any of it true.

With its white sandy beaches, rising hills and picturesque harbour, it's no wonder that Rio de Janeiro is known as the "cidade maravilhosa", or marvellous city and with hotelbye you are able to get the chance and visit this particular city. Rio de Janeiro is facing the South Atlantic coast and could be the second-largest town in Brazil. This city is gifted with one of the very most beautiful organic controls for a metropolis in the world. The stunning landscape is one among the causes that guests decided Rio de Janeiro. During carnival year, a festival that everybody else heard, the streets fill with music and ornately costumed performers getting tourists from all over the globe.

I have seen so much ignorance lately on Yahoo answers, maybe this was a good idea at the time but with questions like that this, it can be very dangerous.
