Brief background of selected country
Brazil is the only Latin American nation that derives its language and culture from Portugal, which has a population of 205 million. Its economy is characterized by large and well-developed agricultural, mining, manufacturing, and service sectors. Brazil's economy outranks all other South American countries, and it is expanding its presence in world markets. Since 2003, Brazil has steadily developed its macroeconomic stability, building up foreign reserves, and reducing its debt profile by shifting its debt burden towards real denominated and domestically held instruments.
As the world’s largest economy and fifth largest country, Brazil is a regional economic power. It is because of its abundant agricultural, mineral, and energy resources that have led to the development of an extensive industrial base, diversified economy, and infrastructure. Lower inflation coupled with a strong currency regime, reduction in the government debt, and high commodity prices have all contributed to stable economic growth. Living standards have risen

The economic growth of Brazil in recent years has lifted tens of millions of Brazilians from poverty to upper middle class citizens (U.S. Dept. of State, 2011). This has increased domestic consumption (a component of aggregate demand) and therefore the increase in the real gross domestic products as a result of the increases in aggregate supply and demand (Editorial Board, 2011).…

Slavery was abolished in 1888, which over time a further blurred racial lines; Brazil is a mixture of races and ethnicities, resulting in rich diversity. Approximately 80% of its population is Roman Catholic. Despite the mixing of ethnicities; there is a class system in Brazil. Thus, there is a great disparity in wage differentials--and therefore lifestyle and social aspirations among the different classes (Brazilian Culture, Family, and Its Ethnic-Cultural Variety, 193).

    Brazil is the largest country in South America and it has the strongest economy in Latin America. The country has the seventh largest economy in the world by nominal GDP. Brazil is rich in natural resources and it focus on agriculture and industrial power. Despite the improvement on income distribution and bringing the middle class population to 95 million people which is a little bit more than half of the population in the country, poverty in rural areas are still very severe in Brazil.

The North East region in Brazil is the undeveloped part of the country where the population have no access to education, health care, technology and even clean water.
