Country Info Home Introduction General Data Maps ... Time and Date Portugal : Culture As a result of change wrought by the Revolution of 1974, Portugal in the 1990s would be almost unrecognizable to persons who knew the nation twenty or thirty years ago. The Revolution of 1974 set loose social and political forces that the nation had not seen before on such a large scale and which could not be entirely controlled. The revolution, in turn, occurred and had such a profound impact because of other, gradual social pressures that had been building for decades and even centuries. In the mid-1970s, these changes exploded to the surface. In the aftermath of the revolution, as Portuguese society continued to modernize and the nation was admitted as a full member of the European Community, social change continued, but not so frenetically and dramatically as during the revolutionary mid-1970s. Following the revolution, which led to the establishment of democracy in Portugal, societal pressures continued. Pressures for education, land, jobs, better health care, housing, social equality, and solutions to Portugal's pressing social problems mounted. Portugal remained, even with the economic growth of the 1980s and early 1990s, a poor nation compared to the West European standards. Moreover, rising expectations were threatening to overwhelm the democratic regime's capacities for resolving the problems. Portugal's full economic participation in the EC at the end of 1992, when it would no longer have the protection of high tariff barriers, added to social tensions and uncertainties. Thus, as Portugal began the 1990s, the promise of a new, stable, democratic era of development coexisted with a fear of what the future might bring.

See the link below. News: Airport Peep Show Scanners I think this whole incident can lead to some interesting situations. I think the more people balk at the s-xual assaults that the government is doing in the name of security things are just going to get worse. I do not see any publication or notice to passengers in any airport telling them that they are giving up many of their constitutional rights just because they wish to fly to a destination instead of driving to that destination. I wonder what would happen if people stopped flying because of the TSA overstepping their bounds. [See Similar Topics] * How are Portugal Culture devised on a local level, if at all

The country is crossed by three large rivers that rise in Spain, flow into the Atlantic, and divide the country into three geographic areas. The Minho River, part of the northern boundary, cuts through a mountainous area that extends south to the vicinity of the Douro River. South of the Douro, the mountains slope to the plains around the Tejo River. The remaining division is the southern one of Alentejo. The Azores stretch over 340 mi (547 km) in the Atlantic and consist of nine islands with a total area of 902 sq mi (2,335 sq km). Madeira, consisting of two inhabited islands, Madeira and Porto Santo, and two groups of uninhabited islands, lie in the Atlantic about 535 mi (861 km) southwest of Lisbon.
