Hi  Isabela

Tell you the truth , most governments are liars and frauders that people cannot trust . I have found , the less trust people give to their government , the more government would do . Trust is not used for dealing with your government . The best policy for citizens is to voice for their rights and most people must embrace more courage to face the monster . There is no free meal all the time , and you cannot be the freerider forever .However, you may see how your government is rudiculous as every government official is picked out from most civilians . It sounds pretty pessimistic , right? so what , People can do nothing but take on the street to demonstrate . Democracy , just a fancy , is not so trustable in my vision . We should have more profound nurture  in our culture and education . That is the final way to change our life and system . As for the violence of government , that is their best to face the truth .

The violence of the government

Yesterday was another complicated day here in Rio. The streets are full of people trying to change the history of our city; trying to show to all the world that the title of "Wonderful City" is only a joke. You can't imagine how difficult is to live in a country where the government works against the people while they force you to believe that you are living a democracy....why does a teacher who works for more than 40 hours per week need to scream that they don't receive a good enough salary? Why are we the most expensive city in the world? I can't see any reasons. There are a lot of kids at home for more than 2 months, just because we decided to be a country where education is just a silly detail.
