When i got questioned by the Storytelling professor about what's being signed on the title i confess my first reaction was to say "Everything!", of course. Everything about Brazil is a little bit wrong, a little bit out of place, and sometimes a LOT wrong and a LOT out of place. We have situations in public healthcare, basic sanitary services, packed prisons, terrible people running government, but nothing is as bad as it is when it comes to one aspect that frightens all brazilians.
Violence.
Violence in Brazil starts in the little things of daily life, the metropolitan buses being home for theft, fear and even sexual assault - no matter if it's dark or bright outside. It goes on in the streets, place where using your phone while walking is a complete no-no situation, or rather, being very brave as to not mind the robbery of your belongings.
But it's not just a street thing, violence happens inside schools, in between men and women, inside the household, and even as abuse of power, when police officers humiliate innocent people by force. These are pretty common in Brazil.
I believe that the only way to stop these things from happening would be having the government's attention towards the situation, but sadly they do not seem to care at all about brazilians.
