Brazil-Lizzy+Moore

Brazil is considered to be on the list of more developed according to its HDI. Contrasting it to another more developed country like Italy with a higher ranking of 20 rather than Brazil’s rank of 70, the infant mortality rate have a margin between them. Brazil has 27.62 deaths while Italy only has 5.72 deaths. On the other hand, both countries have generally the same types of industry such as, textile, automobile, steel, chemicals, and shoes. Contrasted to another South American country, Venezuela, Brazil’s GDI rank is rather high at 59 compared to Venezuela’s 114. Furthermore, Brazilian women hold generally all of the teaching jobs and are active in all other parts of society. While Venezuelan women have a low literacy rate of 7.3%, Brazil is at 88.8% and also greater than the male 88.**4**%. In comparison of the two countries, both life expectancies are in the 70s with Brazil at 72.24 years and Venezuela at 73.28 years. Lastly, contrasting Brazil with a less developed country like Ethiopia Brazil’s crude birth rate of 16.3 births is lower than half of Ethiopia’s 37.39 births. Finally, in comparison, both countries produce a majority of their electricity through hydropower; 94% of Brazil’s electricity is produced using hydropower and similarly, 97% of Ethiopia’s electricity is produced using hydropower.

Brazil Today Today Brazil is doing fairly well. To pinpoint the major setback of the country, it would be education in Brazil which is faltering to say the least. The gap between private schools and public schools should not be as great as it is if Brazil wants to be a more developed country. Also, teachers should all have proper and legitimate training if they are to teach the young minds of Brazil. As for the cities, the country has worked Brasilia in well as the new capital and the government could do well with creating a few more central cities. As poverty is high in the country, welfare efforts could help the country. However, ranked 70 with a score of .800 is not bad for the South American country.

50 Years From Now In 50 years, Brazil will have definitely reached the top half of more developed countries. The GDP per capita is on the rise comparing $8500 in 2005 and $9700 in 2007. So clearly Brazil is on the rise in development. Education in Brazil, seemingly not a top priority, will have become more advanced than now because all other concerns for Brazil currently will probably be addressed by then. Perhaps, Brazil might even be one of the leading producers of oil in the world after discovering untapped oil fields in the country’s southland. Lastly, the literacy rate which is still high will probably be closer to 100% as other more developed countries are.
