| Rogerioandrade said: That´s ok about being proud about your nationality, no matter what. The problem is that many Brazilians (specially on the internet) are delusional about their own country. Yes, it´s a huge country with beautiful landscapes, peculiar culinary and rich/diverse culture, but it´s still plagued by deep (sometimes vey deep) social and economic problems that prevent it to fully achieve its potential. Many brazilians live by denying these problems, believing that those features I quoted are enough to compensate. They aren´t. And the country will never overcome its problems/limitations while people keep ignoring them. Keeping that poor talk about other nation´s problems doesn´t help either. Every nation has problems, but other nation´s problems are not excuses to keep ignoring your own. It´s fine to get the World Cup and the Olympics, but some people here were (are) falling easily on politician´s speeches that this is enough to put Brazil as a "developed, high-class" country. It´s not. |
This is how it works in the entire world as far as i know...
