Administration of any country reflects its population. Second The economic conditions the politic. I was telling another person yesterday: My theory is that there are two main features on the Brazilian character. The Italian. That wants blood for blood. The one that plots and then stabs at the back. The other is the Angolan. It is loud. Talkative. And likes to create noise. Lazy. The combination these two main characters: Italian+Angolan=the Brazilian The Italian? Watch The Godfather movies (I and II) again: is a movie about family. Not about gangsterism nor the Cosa Nostra. It is a family movie. You see the Jewish characters: Hyman Roth or Moe Green whose character and personality are based on Bugsy Siegel. Both pragmatic and you see the Italians.

In 500 years creating a brand new civilization out of a jungle with white Mediterraneans, Black Africans and natives is quite a feat. Nowhere else in the tropics exists a brand new civilization created in these last 500 years. The Anglos Canada, New Zealand and US are all transplants. Only have different accents. But Brazil is a brand new culture. Of course, it could be better, but it could be much worse too. I left 1983. I returned stayed 2 years and left again because I grew apart from the culture. Exactly because I think it could be better.
