Brazil…
So, that Brazil is a rich country, becoming even richer, is a clear fact to everyone. The business, schools and even the state is more mature, giving condition to a proper economical development. This economical development brings into the society many layers of people which were prone to commit some sort of crimes, especially to survive.
This way, the claimed economical strengthen gradually decreases the criminality. However, there is a type of crime which is a bit beyond the economical structure, the mafia and related ones.
Even though the economical growth can mine, it cannot destroy it. To combat the organized crime it is required a deeper action of the state and the society.
As long as I am sure that the economical growth is here to stay, looking my father’s company for instance, it is time to turn our eyes to the social structure. Re-organizing, re-thinking, is a fundamental step now. We are already rich, and I know as I see a much higher standard of life in here than in Europe, but we must organize!!
In UK only 10% of the police force caries a gun. In average less than 50 people die from fire guns. Even though there is a wide spread use of drugs, the access to heavy drugs is limited. But the most important, they discuss and try to improve. We need to think, short, medium and long terms.
Is it enough to have big houses (that we really have), eat picanha (we do…) and have big cars (not so big yet)?
