In a society of violence, one does what one can to avoid trouble. Though Brazil isn't all bad, far from it, it is true that big cities like Rio and Sao Paulo have gone down the drain because of organised crime.
Legally speaking, impunity filtered down from government embezzlers to petty criminals and resulted in chaos. Socioeconomically speaking, Brazil has yet to learn how to disperse public money. For all practical purposes, life in the big metropolitan areas of Brazil is becoming more and more unbearable.
As with everyone else, Brazil has a problem with greed in certain governmental circles. A greedy public official is nearly always a corrupt one waiting to be bribed into selling out another piece of the country or the welfare of its people.
What Brazil needs is to forgo what Brazilians call "jeitinho" and start thinking of how to put the house in order for future generations.
