Mensagem: | Roberto, Your reply did help me indeed in satisfying my curiosity. I have always been very curious about Brazil's culture and the dynamics of its social structure. I have heard and read that the wealth ratio between classes is extremely disproportionate. Moreover, I suspect that the members of the upper-middle and the upper-class (elite) are not the most intellectually impresive people of Brazil. In addition, as I also suspect, the international community wishes to see a more economically "fair" Brazil. And as you know, English is THE international language. Nonetheless, by mastering it (English), you and others are in a way paving the way for a more "equal" Brazil, for as I mentioned above, the international community wishes to see a more economically fair Brazil where the country's wealth would be distrubuted more evenly.
