From Cape Cod to Cape Disappointment we worked, fought and died for land. Many of us on the land today are beneficiaries of homesteading that allowed settlers from all walks of life to claim 270 million acres of America's public domain. The desire to settle and derive a living from the land didn't end with the settlement of North America, though. Journey south to Brazil today and you can witness the 21st century version.

Family farming has extensive room for contributing to the creation of jobs and the generation of income. This entails the need for a new agrarian reality in Brazil, centered on the strengthening of family farming and the recovery of agrarian reform settlements. This is not an indifferent vision, as it is grounded on both the social meaning and the economic performance of small properties. Today family farming accounts for 38 percent of the gross value of agricultural and livestock production in Brazil as well as for 84 percent of rural establishments and 77 percent of the rural labor force. It also accounts for 84 percent of the of the manioc, 67 percent of the beans, 58 percent of the pork, 54 percent of the milk, 49 percent of the corn, 46 percent of the wheat, 40 percent of the poultry and eggs, and 31 percent of the rice that reach the table of Brazilians. About 80 percent of Brazilian municipalities are essentially rural and number 50 million people. The significant Brazilian agrarian universe has suffered the effects of macroeconomics and the neglect of public policies in recent years. Between 1999 and 2001 alone, 5.3 million people left the countryside, according to the Brazilian Geography and Statistics Institute-IBGE. IBGE further reports the closing down of 941,000 rural establishments between 1985 and 1996, 96 percent of which of less than 100 hectares. At the same time, land concentration increased in Brazil. Only 1 percent of rural properties accounts for 45 percent of the agricultural area. These are large properties of over 1,000 hectares. This pattern of failure and abandonment of small properties can only add to the poverty and social exclusion in the large urban centers.

Are Pan American graduates ready to pass the admission exams for universities? Yes, we are college preparatory. Our students are ready not only to pass the most competitive universities in Brazil, but also to take admissions exams for other universities throughout the world. The academic requirements of the Pan American School are high and students are stimulated to perform to the best of their abilities.

COUNTRY STUDIES Brazil - GEOGRAPHY Brazil - Population Average population density in Brazil in 1994 was 18.5 inhabitants per square kilometer. There was a wide variation between the densely populated Southeast and South, on the one hand, and the sparse North and Center-West, on the other, with the Northeast at intermediate levels. In comparison, in 1991 the United States (including Alaska) had an average of twenty-five inhabitants per square kilometer; France, 100; the United Kingdom, 100; China, 110; and Canada, three. According to the 1996 count, the most populous region in the country is still the Southeast (63 million inhabitants), followed by the Northeast (45 million), the South (23.1 million), the North (11.1 million), and the Center-West (10.2 million). The most inhabited states are São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro, Bahia, Rio Grande do Sul, and Paraná. These states all lie along the Atlantic coast. In some rural areas and many cities, particularly in major metropolitan areas, females outnumber males. The historical predominance of women over men in the Brazilian population has persisted. The 1996 count showed that there were ninety-seven men for every 100 women and that the total number of women exceeded the number of men by 5 million.

Weblog Site map Contact us Search Latest Press Releases Printer friendly version Send to a friend New Geography Trade Policy Spurs Brazilian Exports, Says President Lula 28 January 2005 - Davos, Switzerland Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Friday outlined his policy to "change the geography of trade" at a plenary session of the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting 2005. Aimed at boosting his country’s exports to formerly minor and non-traditional markets, the policy helped Brazil register record exports, US$ 96 billion, and a record trade surplus, US$ 33 billion, in 2004. President Lula has visited three dozen countries since he took office two years ago. Brazil also helped lead the G-20 coalition of nations, including China and India, that was formed as a counterweight to rich countries in the World Trade Organization negotiations. "We established a policy of similarity, focusing on countries in circumstances comparable to ours," said the president. "When we announced our policy, everyone thought we were going to do battle with the European Union and the United States," he said. "But there is no reason for us to fight with the EU, an important trading partner, or with the US, our single most important trading partner." Lula traced the logic behind the "new geography" strategy to his days as a labour leader. "We didn’t adopt this policy out of arrogance but because of something I learned in the union," he said. "If you are in tough negotiations, it doesn’t help to whine to your opponent. You have to negotiate from a position of strength."

Normative universalism as vision in Brazilian International Schools Silvia Elizabeth Miranda de Moraes This article discusses the concept of a vision of normative universalism ideal speech situation It is not only a question of rhetorically reiterating the importance of human rights and of the need to assure peace and democracy. We must improve political institutions so that they are able to confront this technical universalization and to impose the application of a normative universalism Introduction We all share a sensation of perplexity in the face of the technological and global changes which have taken place in this decade. The classical cold war division of the world, to which we had become accustomed, has disappeared. The Soviet collapsed 'like a skyscraper constructed in a swamp' (Paz 1990), but the US, the apparent winner of the conflict, represents a model in need of urgent change. The fall of Socialist countries cannot be seen as a victory of capitalism but as a rearrangement of opposite models by means of a new productivity pattern: the combination of science, advanced technology and massive investments. As a result of economic competition, companies have been forced to search for efficiency by modernizing labour, techniques, and products, with the help of scientific research (Kurz 1992). Socialist countries did not follow the same steps; before our astounded eyes, they revealed enormous imbalances between a successful military industry and a failed economic system.
