sociedade
English meaning: Society
Definition
An organized community sharing laws and culture. Brazilian society is characterized by extreme inequality (one of the world's highest Gini coefficients), vibrant racial/cultural mixing, and intense social contrasts between modern cities and favelas (shanty towns). Reducing inequality through education, healthcare, and social programs is Brazil's central governance challenge.
Example
“O Brasil é um país de grande desigualdade social, mas também de enorme riqueza cultural.”
In English: “Brazil is a country of great social inequality but also enormous cultural wealth.”
Literary Heritage
“Ela pertence a uma raça teimosa que um dia vai herdar o que é dela por direito.”
“She belongs to a stubborn race that one day will inherit what is rightfully hers.”
