    Ethical Issues In Sao Paulo

    Now, the government has put in much time and money in order to help the poor. This could hint that they think good works are important, which would reflect on the original Catholic religion in Brazil. However, their methods are not personal nor do they provide long-term help for the people in poverty. Momentary relief would be provided, but then the people will keep needing more help and will have to depend on the government. This neglect of thinking about the long-term effects of their actions on the poor people does not reflect true care of the people based on love. A more religious based worldview, such as that as of Catholic’s, might influence one to act more out of love. Brazil, however, has been shifting to a more deistic worldview, which is not necessarily based on love. Just like cultures throughout the world, Brazil’s culture, based on some evidence, is becoming more focused on “what makes me feel good.” As more of Sao Paulo’s and Brazil’s actions on ethical decisions are examined, one can learn more of a typical Paulastino’s worldview.…

    Sound Of The Cicadas By Arturo Vivates

    In Siena in the 1930s, Italian writer Arturo Vivante (born in 1923) encountered fascism during his school days. In this excerpt from his short story “The Sound of the Cicadas,” Vivante shows how fascism affected every aspect of life in Italy under Mussolini’s rule. The government was trying to turn Italians into warlike people, and soon military training was added to our education, already burdened by two periods of gymnastics. As though this weren’t enough, the authorities tried to ingratiate themselves and at the same time indoctrinate us by getting us out of classes right in the middle of a lesson. We might be translating a passage of Italian into Latin when suddenly the bell would ring, the class would be dismissed, and we would hurriedly assemble in the halls.…
