Analysis Of Brazils Migration Trends

The country that I will be analysing for migration trends is Brazil.

Brazil is in South America as you can see from the map above.

There is a lot of different migration in Brazil. Many different

migration schemes are occurring all over the world, things such as.

Ø War

Ø Slave Trade

Ø Jobs

Ø Don’t like area

Ø Actors, musicians etc

Brazil is a bit different though because it has an overcrowding

problem, and the government has it’s way of moving people. Here are

the different migrations occurring in Brazil today.

Urbanisation

============

Urbanisation is when people move from a rural area to an urban area,

the economic reasons for this is because there is not many jobs in the

rural area. The transportation in Brazil isn’t the best so therefore

it’s harder for them to get into the town. If the people of Brazil

move into the urban areas for work the cost of living will be higher

but there will be no cost for transportation. The environment in the

rural area is much better than in the urban areas as there is more

traffic in the urban areas which causes pollution. In the rural areas

there are fewer people living so it won’t be as crowded, pollution

will be lower. People may move to an urban area as they have been

promoted and therefore can afford to live in this area and don’t

anymore need to drive to work or get a bus etc and in the long run

could save them money. In the urban areas there are more hospitals as

well which will give an increased chance that people will survive if

they get ill.

Counter Urbanisation

--------------------

This is whereby people move from an urban area to a rural area.

People could move like this because they find it to overcrowded in the

urban area. The environment in the urban areas is not as pleasant of

  • Race Relations in Brazil

    2668 Words  | 6 Pages

    The purpose of this paper is to recognize, study and analyze the race relations in Brazil. Race relations are relations between two groups of different races; it is how these two different races connect to each other in their environment. Since Brazil is racially diverse, this study is focused on how Brazilians relate to each other. Throughout the essay, it will become clear that there exists a conflict between two race groups. Afro-Brazilians and White-Brazilians are not connected and though these two groups converse with each other, discrimination still lies within the society. This discrimination has created inequality within the society for Afro-Brazilians. Thus, this paper will not only focus on racism and discrimination that Afro-Brazilians experience because of White-Brazilian, but also on the history of Brazil, the types if discrimination that Afro-Brazilian must endure today and how the media creates discrimination.

    What is culture? Culture is the characteristics that describe a certain group of people. Culture defines those groups of people through religion, language, food and arts among many more. Culture is made up of many long lived traditions passed on through different regions. Brazilian culture is one of the most diverse out there. Some would say it has similarities to American culture when relating it to a "melting pot". Over 75% of the country follows the Roman Catholic faith. The official language of Brazil is Portuguese due to mass Portuguese settlements in much earlier centuries. Brazilian culture has a main focus on family unity and most Brazilians have a large number of family members.

  • The Economic Case of Brazil

    2110 Words  | 5 Pages

    In the 1500s Pedro Alvares Cabral landed on Brazil, previously a inhabited by tribal nations, and claimed the land in the name of Portugal. Brazil remained a Portuguese colony until September 7, 1822 when it declared its independence becoming the Empire of Brazil making the nation a constitutional monarchy with a parliamentary system. In early 1964, a Military junta took control of the nation until it fell in 1985 further changing the structure of the nation, and finally in 1988 a formal constitution was created enacting 26 states encompassing its boarders. Throughout the history of Brazil, the nation was never able to fully immerse itself in the international market and expand its economy, until today. Latin America has not had the best of luck when it comes to economic development and many nations in Latin America have similar issues when it comes to economic and societal development, and many of these issues are cause by the same things. For example, before the military coup in 1964 Brazil was in massive amounts of debt to international partners, however, during the military rule the payment of this debt was halted so the trust and economic backing of countries stopped with the payments. Many plans have been enacted after the fall of the military control to reverse the economic downfall that occurred in the country and continent in the 20th century and especially in the 1980s, the lost decade. In Brazil alone, there have been at least seven economic plans to reverse the economic hardships of the country, from the Cruzado Plan to the Real Plan, none seemed to work. However, in the past decade the Brazilian economy has seen an amazing increase and the condition of life of the people in the nation has increased with it. The quest...

Most immigrants that come to American usually are categorized as the lower class immigrants, but they take any opportunities to improve their economic status. In an article by Howard P. Chudacoff, it states “immigrants generally chose upward paths that led from manual labor into small proprietorships” (Chudacoff 1982: 104).

When Pedro first set eyes on the land he first assumed it was a small size island. However, they came to find it was quite large, and inhabited with native people. Brazil was attractive for many Europeans such as the French, the Dutch, and the Spanish due to its resources such as red-dye wood, gold and silver, sugar, and precious stones. On December 7th, 1822, the country declared its independence from portugal and became its own country.

  • The History Of Brazil

    As a nation, Brazil has a long and eventful history, involving both its post-colonial status as an ex-member of the Portuguese imperial regime and the long term history of its pre-colonial indigenous tribes. Borrowing from information provided by Boris Fausto, a professor at the University of Sao Paulo in his book A Concise History of Brazil, it is clear that Brazil is a country confused in its post-colonial identity. While colonialism brought massive wealth and prosperity to a nation that is rich with resources, the question of the treatment of the remaining indigenous tribes remains a deep-rooted issue for many Brazilians.
