...Also the footballers could be seen in the advert wearing the Beats by Dre listening to interesting and inspirational music in preparation for the biggest game of their career. The main focus of the commercial was on Neymar, and as he stepped out of the bus with his Beat, he was greeted by a huge crowd of paparazzi and the News media. He headed straight to the locker room and talked with his father who gave him inspiration and prayed with him to excel in the game. He later walked through the tunnel and emerged in the stadium for the game. No doubt, the World Cup is the biggest football tournament on the planet and it takes place once in four years.

...20th Century Since early on in its colonial history, Brazilian society has been dominated by explicit hierarchical constructs and staunch regionalism. The patriarchal system that is found in Brazil has its roots in the colonial government set up by the Portuguese in the 1500’s. The rugged terrain and dispersion of resources resulted in only certain areas, mostly along the coast, being developed early on, developing a lack of strong centralization leading to the emergence of deep-rooted regionalism. As Brazil advanced into the 19th century it usurped Portugal as the seat of their colonial empire, effectively gaining its independence. During this time Brazil’s institutions of patriarchy and regionalism further cemented themselves into the culture of the country, becoming part of its identity and can still be seen in Brazil to this day. These institutions were so deeply ingrained into Brazilian society as the country moved into the modern era and came under the rule of a military dictatorship, though they still exerted a lot of influence in terms of political and social decision making, patriarchy and regionalism underwent some alterations to adapt to the changes of the times (i.e. the abolition of slavery). In 1930 Getulio Vargas staged a military coup and seized control of Brazil for himself, beginning the dictatorship that would last until the 1980’s, with the exception of the countries brief experimentation with a democratic government. The modernismo movement, in the...

...Preparing to leave for Brazil my research topic influenced my packing and weighed heavily on my mind. The Zika virus was brought up to me every time I mentioned that I was going to Brazil. Family members, friends, and even coworkers stressed using bug spray and wearing long sleeves and pants to minimize the skin exposure to mosquitos. My thoughts mirrored their thoughts. I had some reservations about going to Brazil but it was one of the destinations on my long list of places to visit. I would have packed differently if the Zika virus wasn’t being discussed in the news on a regular basis. My suitcase was filled with long pants, long dresses, long shirts, and camisoles. I wanted to bring my sun dresses and shorts and tank tops as I knew that the weather would be perfect for these items. I purchased “Zika bracelets’ and Center for Disease and Control Prevention (CDC) approved mosquito repellent. I imagine other tourist going to Brazil had similar thoughts and feeling.

...government has a Chief of State: President Dilma Rousseff, Head of Government: President Dilma Rousseff. Brazil is a federal republic with 26 states and a federal district. The 1988 constitution grants broad powers to the federal government, made up of executive, legislative, and judicial branches.

...especially in Brazil and India. In Brazil, almost half a million are affected with AIDS and millions more at high risk on acquiring it. This is due to the machistic society, where married man having marital affairs and woman not asking their husbands to use condoms because of fear of getting beaten and losing support. Also, the price of Condoms is expensive in Brazil compared to other countries. In India, 5 million are already infected with HIV 6 years after the first detection, which makes this country spreading the virus faster than in any country. But AIDS is not the primary concern due to other health problems. And some Indian states deny the existence within their areas. Tamil Nadu was the first stat is introduce AIDS education and awareness. The London International Group (LIG) is well known in its latex and thin-film barrier technology, which is used in Durex condoms. Durex is the only global condom brand and protecting its position by “feeling is everything”. LIG entered Japan with a joint venture with Okamoto Industries and promoting the Durex Avanti condoms, which is stronger than latex and can be made thinner and can make the experience more natural.

...In the economic world, BRICS is a grouping acronym that refers to the countries of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. These countries are all known to be at the beginning of newly advanced economic development. The acronym was created by Jim O'Neill in a 2001 paper entitled "Building Better Global Economic - BRICS". The acronym has come into worldwide use as a symbol of the shift in global economic power away from the developed G7 economies towards the developing world. G7 countries are existing nations with well-developed economies. It is estimated that the BRICS economies will overtake G7 economies by 2050. Although there is argument of whether South Africa should be included in the BRIC countries due to its population of 50 million, it was still included. China and India, predictively, will become the dominant global suppliers of manufactured goods and services, while Brazil and Russia will become similarly dominant as suppliers of raw materials. India is the second largest country with a population of over 1.2 billion people. The country thrives off of small businesses headed by poor families trying to make a living and to support their families. In the past decade however, India has made it clear they want to expand their horizons. This idea is not favored with everyone due to the fear of forgetting India's roots and traditions to the modern way (or Western way). It is also causing a stir about the decline in profit to small businesses. The value of Indian economic...
