Doing Business in Brazil and Mexico
Latin America ( Brazil and Mexico)
“A nation's culture resides in the hearts and in the soul of its people.” - Mahatma Gandhi

August 12, Wimbley, London: In an exciting finale, Mexico beats Brazil 2-1 to clinch the gold in Olympics Men’s football. The samba boys are disappointed as this was their golden opportunity to claim their maiden Olympic gold.

Brazil, Mexico, Samba, Football…………all these words sound so familiar in the context of Football. Ask any football fan and 6 out of 10 times, he/she will rate Brazil as the favourite football team.
What comes to your mind when somebody talks about USA? Economic superpower, skyscrapers, professionalism, Hollywood, White House etc. But what comes to your mind when someone says Latin America? Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Mexican Cuisine, Music, Literature, Cultural festivals and last but definitely not the least (most perhaps) Football. Latin America has its own distinct culture with myriads of traditions, festivals, beliefs, passions etc. It has the hues of every aspect of life and combines them to form a delightful concoction.

    Brazil is a vast country rich in natural resources and beauty in the continent of South America. Located in the east-central coast of South America, it is the largest country in South America occupying nearly half the continent. Brazil’s topography is vast with its most priceless treasures inarguably being the Amazon Rain Forest. The Amazon River and its components attribute to two fifths of the country with the Amazon Basin making up 40% of the continent of South America (“Brazil”, n.d.). The Portuguese settlers were the first to arrive in Brazil and quickly found they were not alone, discovering the many tribes of natives that called Brazil their home for hundreds and maybe even thousands of years. These Portuguese settlers were not determined to conquer as the Spaniards, but were poor sailors who were seeking items for trade. This made it easy for the settlers to intermarry with the natives as well as the slaves they had brought from Africa, creating the mix of races known in Brazil today (Geographia, 2006). The Portuguese were not the only ones to seek Brazil to escape their situation and they were quickly joined by many immigrants such as French, Dutch, German, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, African and Arab, with Portuguese remaining the dominant and official language of Brazil. These cultures have blended into one…

It shares borders with every other South American country except Chile and Ecuador. This has allowed Brazil to create important alliances and enjoy good relations with most of its neighbours. Brazil is also home of the Amazon forest which is considered to be the ‘lungs’ of the planet, as well as an important place where diversity of fauna and flora coexist (Note on the Political and Economic Situation of Brazil, 4).…

    Leaving aside the type of informative introduction which characterizes discussions about Latin America, I prefer to situate the relation between our culture and civilized culture in term less reduced than those which characterize the European observer's analysis. While Latin America bemoans its general wretchedness, the foreign interlocutor cultivates a taste for this wretchedness not as a tragic symptom, but rather as simple formal information for his field of interest. Neither does the Latin convey his true wretchedness to civilized man nor does civilized man truly comprehend the Latin's wretchedness.…
