Brazilian Culture
Here are some pages about cultural issues. These are based on our personal experiences splitting our time between the U.S. and Brazil. There's much more than this to Brazilian culture, of course, but it's a beginning. It's always good to learn a little Portuguese before you go. Here's a great Web site where you can learn Portuguese language basics: www.sonia-portuguese.com (Sonia is the woman behind it; she's really great.) There are very good books out there such as "A Geography of Time: The Temporal Misadventures of a Social Psychologist, or How Every Culture Keeps Time Just a Little Bit Differently" by Robert Levine, that support our less-than-scientific views. The weekly magazine Veja (12/02/09 issue) published a very interesting article regarding Brazilians perception and use (or misuse) of time. The New York Times online (July 31, 2009) published a fascinating survey on how different groups spend their day in the U.S., which would be interesting to compare with how Brazilians do it.

Culture represents the significant values, attitudes, beliefs, artifacts, and other symbols that are represented in the lifestyle adopted by people, and that help them to interpret, to evaluate, and to communicate themselves as members of a society. The culture both affects and helps to describe human behavior of a specified group of people. Many people may understand culture only in geographic terms, however, it consists of so much more. Culture represents the usual and unique characteristics of a specific social group, which consists of values as well as norms in their living patterns which are shared by all members of the specific society. Some may come to think of this structure as a society's "personality". People's values, everyday actions, ideas, and emotions are all by-products of the individual's culture.
Religion in Brazil
Over seventy percent of Brazil's citizens declare themselves as Roman Catholics. It is also important to note that Brazil has the largest number of Catholics in the world. Catholicism has been Brazil's main religion since the beginning of the 16th century and continues to be their primary religion to this day. Ninety-seven percent of Brazilians claim that they believe in God, two percent have doubts, and one percent do not believe in a supreme being. It may also be important to note that there are currently over one million Latter Day Saints in Brazil.

Brazilian Culture
Creator: Julian Pucci
Webmaster: Gabriel Amorim Brazilian culture is a culture of a very diverse nature. An ethnic and cultural mixing occurred in the colonial period between Native Americans, Portuguese and Africans and formed the bulk of Brazilian culture. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries Italian, German, Spanish, Arab and Japanese immigrants settled Brazil and played an important role in its culture, creating a multicultural and multiethnic society.
Major influences
Brazil was a colony of Portugal for over 3 centuries. Large numbers of settlers from Portugal arrived during this period (nearly 1 million) and brought their culture to the colony. The native inhabitants of Brazil had a strong contact with the colonists. Many were exterminated, others mixed with the Portuguese. For that reason, Brazil also holds Amerindian influences in its culture, mainly in its food and language (Brazilian Portuguese has hundreds of words of Native American origin, mainly from the Tupi-Guarani).
Immigrants from Italy, Germany, Spain, Japan and the Middle-East played an important role in the areas they settled (mostly Southern and Southeastern Brazil). They organized communities that became important cities (Joinville and Caxias do Sul, for example) and brought important contributions to the culture of Brazil.

Brazilian Culture
A wide variety of elements create a society with considerable ethnic complexity. Brazilian culture has historically been influenced by European, African, and Indigenous cultures and traditions. Its major early influence derived from Portuguese culture, because of strong colonial ties with the Portuguese empire. Among other inheritances, the Portuguese introduced the Portuguese language, the Catholic religion and the colonial architectural styles. Other aspects of Brazilian culture are contributions of Italian, German and other European immigrants; came in large numbers and their influences are felt closer to the South and Southeast of Brazil. Amerindian peoples influenced Brazil's language and cuisine; and the Africans, brought to Brazil as slaves, influenced language, cuisine, music, dance and religion. The festival of Carnival (Portuguese: Carnaval), with its spectacular street parades and vibrant music, has become one of the most potent images of Brazil; an annual celebration held forty days before Easter and marks the beginning of Lent. Carnival is celebrated throughout Brazil, with distinct regional characteristics, but the most spectacular celebrations outside Rio de Janeiro take place in Salvador, Recife, and Olinda, although the nature of the events varies. Other regional festivals include the Boi Bumbá and Festa Junina (June Festivals).

Brazilian Culture
The Portuguese gave Brazil its religion and language. The country's native Indians, and a large African population, and settlers from Europe, the Middle East and Asia present a colourful diversity. Brazil has frequently been influenced by aspects of American culture. Fast food and music are becoming part of Brazilians' lives but the traditional fares are as popular. The religion of most Brazilians is Roman Catholic but a majority of the population are non-practicing Catholics. Brazilian idea of culture is one mixed unity. The five official regions of Brazil were thought to divide the country between its cultural feats, but in fact there are several cultural diferences between states in the same region.
People in the Northern states tend to be spread out. In the less-developed Northeastern states people in the countryside areas usually live in a feudal relationship with their land owners. In the Southeastern part of Brazil is found most of the culture that is known world-wide. São Paulo, the "engine of Brazil" is the financial, industrial and commercial center of the country, and has a very cosmopolitan culture.

Photo by Phillie Casablanca In general, Brazilians are a fun-loving people. While attitude in the South may be somewhat colder and more reserved, from Rio upwards people usually boast a captivating attitude towards life and truly enjoy having a good time. Some may even tell you that beer, football, samba and barbecue is all they could crave for. Brazilians are always up for doing something new. They love to just hang out with each other, and will often stay up late into the night with groups of friends, just talking and having fun-even if they have to be at work the next day. Friendship and hospitality are highly praised traits in the Brazilian society. Family values and social connections are also strongly valued and the distinction between known and unknown people may acquire a significant weight in day-to-day interaction. To people they have met, or at least they know the name, Brazilians are usually very open, friendly and sometimes quite generous. Once introduced, until getting a good reason not to, a typical Brazilian may treat you as trustfully as he would treat a best friend. This may have an agreeable impact, but it also means that outsiders not always get the same special treatment as locals. Nevertheless, Brazilians are reputedly one of the most hospitable people in the world and foreigners are usually treated with respect and often with true admiration.

Portuguese is spoken by nearly 100 percent of the population. The only exceptions are some members of Amerindian groups and pockets of immigrants, primarily from Japan and South Korea, who have not yet learned Portuguese. The principal families of Indian languages are Tupí, Arawak, Carib, and Gê. There is about as much difference between the Portuguese spoken in Brazil and that spoken in Portugal as between the English spoken in the United States and that spoken in the United Kingdom. Within Brazil, there are no dialects of Portuguese, but only moderate regional variation in accent, vocabulary, and use of personal nouns, pronouns, and verb conjugations. Variations tend to diminish as a result of mass media, especially national television networks that are viewed by the majority of Brazilians. Brazilian Diversity

Beachwear crackdown bares paradox in Brazilian culture
By Kevin G. Hall, Knight Ridder, The Seattle Times , Thursday 20 January 2000, 06:59 a.m. Pacific
RIO DE JANEIRO - The city known for its scantily clad Carnival dancers and anything-goes approach to sexuality is abuzz. Rio de Janeiro state police arrested a couple over the weekend after the woman refused to cover up her breasts on the beach. They clubbed her boyfriend - in his 60s - when he tried to intervene. While the scandal ostensibly is over toplessness, the incident is a window into Brazilian culture, where religion and pleasure collide and arbitrary actions by police largely go unpunished. Brazil boasts the world's largest Roman Catholic population but is constantly at odds with the Vatican over television ads promoting birth control, wide acceptance of the African-origin Candomble religion and sexual liberalism. Brazilians were surprised when police began cracking down on topless sunbathing last weekend - something the governor of Rio state says will not be repeated. Many Brazilians were outraged and complained of hypocrisy, noting that in early March many Carnival participants will be wearing only a tampa sexo
