The 2014 elections in Brazil

The elections in Brazil finished this weekend and the president Dilma Roussef won re-election (President Dilma Roussef wins re-election in Brazil) and will be on power for more 4 years continuing the domain of the Worker’s Party at the presidency of Brazil.

The election for the position of president this year in Brazil was a very tight competition and the final debates reached a point that the discussion assumed a very low level, which could be considered offensive to the population.

The government in Brazil is fraught with problems and corruption, the people hope for improvement but still difficult for the population to have a good option to vote at the elections. Considering that any of the two finalists could be the solution to end the corruption, because both have bad things in their political life and probably they are not really interested in just improve the country but also in make money and make their Parties more influents and powerful.

I think the really problem in Policy in Brazil is that the Government Parties are more interested in become more powerful than improve the country. Obviously, I can’t generalize, is not all the people that do not think about make improvements but those are just a few.

In Brazil when we think about Policy we immediately think about corruption and misuse of public funds. And with this thought came the bad images of the politicians involved with corruption and these kind of things. So the most of the politicians are on that positions not for help their cities, states, or the country, they are following political career for the money. And this culture of thinking like that have to be changed, so the people can, at the most, follow the political career to principally help to improve their country.

Where You and I Would Love to Live

Today’s world have the issue of living in big cities. There are many bad things that makes people prefer to live in somewhere far from the city center, things like the bad road traffic because the large quantity of cars, the noisy also made for the cars and for the crowd too, also you have an exaggerated population for a small space to live. Often, the apartments are too small and can’t accommodate well a medium family, like a family with two to four children, it also don’t have a lot of advantages that a house on suburb have, like gardens, like the opportunity to have a pet like a big dog, like more privacy, and the biggest advantage is the large space.

The architect Moshe Safdie talks on a TED Talk about a very interesting idea for architecture to apartments now and in the future. He shows new apartments that proposes an apartment that have the advantages of a house, and that is amazing. These buildings are so beautiful, when you see they you want to live in one. Their design was made to make they attractive and making the city more beautiful. What is interesting is that you have all you need on their complex, including a really good recreation area.

I think these new apartments are really awesome and I would love to live in one of them. I hope to see at least one of them in my life, specially that one with the longest swimming pool of the world.
