Brazilian Way

Brazil is a country with a vast geographical set up in which population is mainly clustered in the urban areas leaving rural areas almost vacant. This shows that people in Brazil live in communities. The family plays an important role in the life of the most people. Whole life revolves around family. The family, generally, made up of a few members who are closely knit together. Largely father is the head of the family, making it a maternal dominated society. Family values are help as an important facet of society. Most people would agree with me that family does matter a lot to the society despite the divorces. People love their children and they help them grow in the values that are prevalent and important.

Religion plays a significant role in the life of the people. Most people are Catholics. Church plays a significant part and contributes towards the life of the people. People have great devotion towards Mother Mary. Religious values are held high despites the incessant fall in the people coming to the church. Most feasts and celebrations take place in and around the church. Most feasts are celebrated in commemoration with the saints of the church. There are other feasts like festa Junina that is celebrated in the month of June. This feast is made up of a mixture of dance and food. This feast is a unique for the people of Brazil.

Normally, people live as communities where people know each other. The community is made up diverse people who contribute to the well being of the society. Each person is cared for in the community. Despite the high walls around the house, they live in harmony and fences are not a barrier to coexist in the neighborhood. This is an added aspect to the betterment of the society. This contributes towards the society at large to live in peace and harmony.

People of Brazil are warm and welcoming in their approach. They have a boisterous way of wishing one another, even the strangers. Hugs and kisses are a common way of wishing to show that they welcome us with an open mind and heart. This shows their hospitality towards each other and particularly guests. On the whole this has been my experience during my stay in Brazil. I am quite pleased at their warm hospitality.
