I am a Brazilian, but residing in Guyana for the past twenty years as my parents shifted to Georgetown, the capital of Guyana. It is my utmost pleasure to visit my native country frequently, but to find no difference in the situation and it’s in doldrums as it’ was twenty years ago. The country is battling with the demon of drugs and the rich poor gap in particular.

The real Brazil is being built and aiming to become more participatory and responsible democracy. Country’s economy is growing with the development of its high-tech industries. The farming sector is making Brazil a world granary and the growth of tourism sector is adding its part in the national revenue. Still, Brazilians are far behind from the per capita income of developed countries. We are behind new rich countries of a New Second World despite not undergoing a financial tragedy like some of the African countries. The national income is not distributed in a rational and much sustainable manner.

The country’s growth in education sector is lagging behind many countries if we compare the data of the number of students enrolled, the number completing high school, the number of college-admission candidates in Brazil with the other developed or developing countries.

The country is taking right step to be on the right path, but still these steps are looking insufficient to ease the widening gap between rich and poor. If the country runs on the present growth rate, it would never become the exporters of science and technology. The urbanization of several cities is taking wrong shape because of uneven development of its residents. The rising urban chaos and crime are becoming uncontrollable now.

Brazilians need to develop social responsibility within the citizens to evolve more from mere assistance into transformation. Each social group is fighting for its own interests by ignoring the value of social fabric. The 10 percent richest families earn an average monthly salary of 5,600 reais ($1982), and the 50 percent poor population receive an average of 272 reais ($96) per month.

This is a clear indication for the need of urgent changes in the income distribution to curb the rise of the most serious tendency that is rupturing the Brazilian species into two different sections that don’t even recognizing each other. They are dangerously being unequal, distinct and forming different races in culture and in interests too. Therefore, it’s worth saying that Brazilians are divided in two such races’. We will have to change the course in our own twenty-first century. However, the tawdriness of country’s political leaders slows down us from taking necessary steps to change it needs urgently.

It would not surprise citizens if the growing gap between the two social classes in the country leads to civil war in due course. Brazil has already developed the platform from where civil war can take place. It happened similarly in Russia with the rise of Communism and the fall of the aristocracy, the rise of communism in Cuba, and the fall of colonialism in Santo Dimingo. It started in the similar way in these countries and this is the time for us Brazilians to learn fast form the mistakes that they are committing much brains.

We will have to become uncomfortable with the social policies existing in the country to prevent potential conflicts in coming days, otherwise Brazil will become the next name in the list of Hundras, El salvdor, Venezuela, Chili and Cuba.
I am a 25-year old student of management, I have no such experience to make comment on the countries policies and political leadership but I have enough sense to see the connotation of a socially segregated country with huge population of black and mulatto population.

The afro-Brasilieros haven’t enjoyed needed recognition in Brasileiro society. The society puts the poor population in one class and the rich into the other class. The rich and fair-skinned population enjoys the power of decision making authority. The country needs to protect the beautiful African heritage and the Brasileiro culture would not exist without the presence of this heritage. The 10 percent of total population controls the rest. The rich Brasilians should think again and again to take care of all the citizens - Black or White. Human are human, it doesn’t matter what color charts are made to define them.

Brazilians don’t know much about the complete history of his own country and its relationship with other countries. They have the high level of social skills. There is need to give it a shape to develop the country as a whole concept. In Brazil, there are about 1000 Quilombos (descendant communities escaped ex-slaves) but they are cut off from society like the ‘Untouchables’ in India. The country has the highest population of Blacks except Nigeria. How can Brazil be developed without the welfare of this part of the population?
