I hope that all went well for this organization. I am very privileged with going to school, but many people here complain about it. I feel very disgusted by them. :/

@daniel00xx ROFL

você obviamente conhece nada do "pais onde vive". A maioria das favelas do país estão em São Paulo, e não raro são encontradas em outras cidades além do Rio. O dinheiro que você usou pra acessar a internet e postar 2 comentários estúpidos poderia ser melhor aproveitado estudando história e geografia.

[SchwingBlade]

"The Art of Equality". Right. This project is just as brain-dead as its idiotic name. There are no "solutions" here, just a vapid, elitist white dude who is unintentionally exploiting poor blacks by co-opting their sad stories for his own benefit. I think this guy probably has good intentions, but his "project" seems more like a lame excuse to travel to Rio. "The Art of Equality". -snorts-.

[blasterLA24]

philippines all the way yall'

[daniel00xx]

A Maioria dessas favelas estão localizadas no Rio de Janeiro. No resto do pais raramente se encontra favela desse jeito !

i do not feel sorry for anyone who wears a cleaner shirt than my neighbor,my country also has this problem

[bulbousmold]

@tiqsmusic ... what? you need to calm down. wheather or not he is an atheist at least he was trying to make a difference. i dont know if youve ever made an attempt to reach out to the less fortunate, but there is a sense of purpose when you do it, as though god gave us this ability to show compassion when others have none to really show the significance of god's love. i pray that we will all see his light one day.

[HusbandBeater23]

Brazil is located in South America. The history of Brasil has changed and the diverse population of people makes it Brasil. My family came to Brazil in agreement with the government for agriculture and religious standards. Poverty, is tremendously huge in some areas but our spirit and culture is second to none. I wouldn't trade my country for anyone's, and they have treated me with respect since my family arrived here.

Americans could help if there wasnt such a huge difference based on the wealthy ruling elite

[Sorry4DoublePosting]

Yikes! Looks like a real shithole, one I'm glad is thousands of miles away from me, quite candidly. Also, the guy narrating is a condescending prick and, dare I say, a libtard.

[heartmindify]

@Sorry4DoublePosting you know your saying these thing without thinking about how much help and awareness just this one video gets out about the world. I know your cool, i know your "happy" but your nano second thoughts turn you into an ass hole, you should ask, when was the last time i truly helped somebody and with that memory record re read your comment dude.

Now who are we to blame such egotistical and self indulgent hippy from ignoring the many plights of the poor and underprivileged people in his own country ? Its not his own fault that hes scared of the black and different coloured homeless people he ignores every time he drives by his nearest bridge!! Why should we blame him?? Its not his fault that he pisses himself whenever he thinks about entering a poor ghetto where children cannot have a proper education!! Brazil is so exotic!!

[MissTeenPregnancy]

I think the 'host' here is Brazilian. That- is why he's most interested in helping in Brazil , perhaps more than helping down the street(though he may do that too) Many people come to the US to make the money so they can bring more help to their home countries.

[hajiflo]

Its disgusting when people sit down and criticize a good deed. You must be spoilt because you don't even see it as a privilege to be able to afford a computer and internet to write all this crap about a good initiative. Why don't you get up and do some good deed yourself other than writing your meaningless criticisms. No matter what,how, when,where and why, A GOOD DEED IS A GOOD DEED!

[TigerIPanzer]

quit whining man and do as us British....the British Government cares about it's own people and makes sure no-one is destitute..so much so that immigrants come to Britain to abuse the system but hopefully that wont continue for much longer...Britain cares about it's own people

[peaceonearth002]

@TigerIPanzer

Maybe you're one of the people who has been helped, but there are lots of homeless people there as well. Here's a fact: governments don't give a shit about its own people. America, U.K. it's a problem everywhere you go.

[Hottmeandu4200]

[zjones1222]

Zeitgeist funded programs which lends a hand to those not in a recession. Let’s take it a step further Brazil manufactures its own generic drugs eliminating itself from the brutal race in the pharmaceutical industry. Aren’t the Brazilian the heroes not sold by George W. Bush in is vision of globalization there he was met with lots of rejection. Here we go again marketing another lie for a country in surplus thus those invested want even more money.

[brenosilver]

Nice documentary, but why every documentary and movie about brazil only show the favelas?

[TylerNull]

US schools keep devolving as we pay the gov't sponsored monopoly of teachers' labor unions more per student than any other country. In fact, ours is the largest, richest labor price-fixing cartel in human history.

US is slouching toward the South American model of a nanny-state socialist cesspool, where there is "equality" in that everyone is impoverished, except for government bureaucrats and the few government protected companies that are allowed to exist.

[testing88534]

@TylerNull I study Latin America and I can tell you, people live in excessive poverty because of Neo-Liberal reforms that have made the poor poorer and the rich richer. That is why many left wing Nationalist gov. have been elected in the 2000s in order to decrease the economic disparity rate as well as reduce poverty. Its been working in fact as more and more of the poor have been lifted from poverty. The US is nowhere near the same the situation to Latin America nor are we near Socialism.

[TylerNull]

@testing88534

By "neo-liberal", you mean socialist.

The single most bizarre trait of socialists is how they're always telling you they aren't socialists. Distancing themselves from their own politics seems to be one of the prerequisites of their proselytism.

[NewYorkC93]

@NewYorkC93 darn I made a lot of typing mistakes.

[BLTsquad]

honestly, instead of asking this guy why he isn't in america helping kids out, Why aren't each and every perosn choosing to criticize his actions and call him a douche doing their part. Because at the end of the day people all over the world need help and how you choose to help those people is your business, as long as you are helping.

I still don't see why people choose to criticize those who do good, its sick if anything. him traveling across the world will help just the same no more no less

[NewYorkC93]

Nice video. I remember raising money for little school girls in a southern African nation to buy them menstration pads so they could continue going to school instead of skipping a week because of their periods. I also remember helping out with the lunch and breakfast initiatives at school to slow chilhood obesity in the US. Help wherever you can people! We are humanity after all! 99.99999% the same. A country's poverty rate should not be judge on a 'which is worse off' debate.

[NewYorkC93]

@NewYorkC93 I highly doubt a child living in the drug infested depths of Detroit is better off than a child living in the cocaine fields of Colombia. Both children live in desperation and poverty. We should strive to help all instead of waste time arguing on YT.

[LadyBe12]

@NewYorkC93

Bravo! Braaavo! We are humanity! We are one. There is infinite hope. And there is power. Thank you to all that are making a huge difference!

[fireton7]

sorry i run out of space, so like i said once we give part of our fortune for someone else's happiness we can start to see a change in the world. The truth is we are powerful , together we are strong. So the cure is to create a network like face book for example that expands through out the world and allows people like you and me to see what less fortunate people are going through. There, people will help their neighbors and the neighbors will help other people like a domino effect.

[LadyBe12]

@fireton7

So, we are in numbers! We are powerful! The feelings I've had are true! We are all human beings and capable of LOVE and GENEROSITY and above all, SHARING. We're gonna make it! All of us, cause we all look after each other. I somehow knew it was always so simple.

[fireton7]

@LadyBe12 exactly you get the point, i realized that a couple of months ago when i saw a criminal suffer . His eyes beg for mercy and there is no one to give him hope. That's humanity's problem we can't seem to believe in ourselves, somehow we always end up fighting with one another. Forgiveness is the key to love. The bible relates how Jesus Christ forgave us for salvation, you know how i can tell you people are good, just look at anybody smile , see the difference, see their inner happiness

[fireton7]

Hey man, good job on that video . There's certainly a lot of inequality in Brazil, Personally, I've been thinking about finding a cure for inequality and the more i see these cases the more i get inspired. No long ago i realized that we are all humans with emotions and no matter what people think of criminals, thugs, etc they are still humans; therefore, a simple smile can heal a barren heart . So, everybody feels compassion. The point is are we willing to give part of our fortune

[TannerOCampbell]

I cannot believe that the highest rated comments are the most appalling.

In America if you are homeless, there are shelters. If you are thirsty, there are fountains. If you are disadvantaged there are social programs designed to help you better yourself.

There are plenty of people in America who can help Americans, if this guy has compassion and desire to help the ones who NEED IT THE MOST instead of the ones that just share his nationality -- he's leaps and bounds ahead of the rest of you.

[peaceonearth002]

@TannerOCampbell

Yeah, but most of those programs don't even work, and it's only for the people who are lucky enough to even get help. I've met people who have been turned down constantly because of the ridiculous guidelines. Also, the person behind the desk would actually want to help, which is another barrier.

I feel bad for those people, but I don't think any country should offer help when they have their own problems to sort out first. "We're massacred by our government, our state,

[peaceonearth002]

@peaceonearth002

we're not taken into consideration." That problem exists everywhere you go. Inner cities are just as impoverished as those other countries, the only difference is the setting. I think we need more affordable housing, not condos and more houses. Instead of the no child left behind act, we need a, "No person left behind act."

[taudreee567]

ugh that is awful

my friend's dad can't get a job because he's asian and everyone around here thinks they're trying to steal our jobs.......

[kmhamon]

All these people complaining about someone helping others, far away, what are you doing in your neighborhood? Have you found a passion and are you making a sacrifice to work on real change where you are? Anywhere? Put it on youtube. And for those of you who aren't athiest, how can you balk at anyone who helps someone? Those of you who have a feel for international security, know that critical education tends to do more for world peace than war does. Kudos to your efforts Pullitzer.

[GFABTHEKING]

WHY DO PEOPLE GO TO OTHER COUNTRIES TO HELP IMPOVERISHED INDIVIDUALS WHEN WE HAVE SO MUCH HOMELESSNESS AND POVERTY HERE IN AMERICA..START IN YOUR OWN BACKYARD AND THEN GO OUTSIDE TO THE STREETS OF YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND THEN YOUR COUNTRY AND THEN OUTSIDE OF AMERICA..BUT ALL YOUR EFFORTS ARE APPLAUDED!!HELPING PEOPLE IS THE MAIN OBJECTIVE..BUT THERE ARE PLENTY OF NEEDY PEOPLE HERE IN AMERICA!!

[JOAOBUNITAO]

@GFABTHEKING open your eyes my dad came here with 50 dollers in his pocket its called oppurtunity if you work hard you will achive your goals here the gorverment even helps lazy ass people with welfare in brazil they don't do jack shit but send police to exterminate people in the brazilian slums...america has a gorverment that is not total shit our in the other hand have money but are corrupt 

[nesgurl90]

@GFABTHEKING If you paid attention, he's sharing how people in Brazil are finding solutions for themselves to empower their youth. In America, we are blessed to already have many organizations that do that. There could always be more, but your comment doesn't make any sense and is quite selfish. No one is discounting Americans, but other countries have different problems and obstacles than what we face.The youth in Brazil don't compare to our youth. That's why they want to fight inequality.

[tqbfjotflz]

Your goal is noble but the chances of you achieving it is impossible with the approach you're taking. Nothing sets you up for failure more than setting an unrealistic goal...but keep trying though.

[MrKylerkirby]

Hey Elan? You are an idiot. Ever heard "without darkness, no-one could ever recognize the light"? Every sorry soul in this world who is trying to EQUALIZE every human being is a moron, because it cannot be, and is against nature. If you tried to EQUALIZE the daylight and the darkness, you would have NEITHER, and the entire planet would die. Respond to this and tell me you don't agree with it, and it will prove to the world how dumb you really are.

[Dremfulnsomniac]

,,Study the free marketeers & the collapse of ICA ask yourselves why the people in these countries are being paid a very small fraction of what their produce is sold for in our country and other developed nations.The people he is trying to help actually work (u prob know nothing about it) for something that they are never paid for. We live in a nation of theives, rest peacefully evil seeds. This man has a right to sleep at night unlike any of you morally bankrupted individuals commenting.

[Astrowater]

I like your work, do not stop when people tell you to, but it seems like you are not that kind of person. Thank you.

[Abellalisa]

This is an important dialog. I agree with him about inequality and their are some great examples of people who do help others. That's the part of his message I like. I agree our own streets and schools, the environment for that matter what a mess humans have made of themselves for all time, those that work to make it a better world, that take an interest in the well being of others are inspirational! Well done, I am sure, this young man cares about the problems in our America too.

[Dremfulnsomniac]

(Cont.) AMERICA teach yourself how we are effecting the world, educate yourselves=empower humanity. If the culperates live with blindfolds on there entire lives they will continue living their blissfully ignorant destructive lives all the while thinking everyone is to blame but themselves. America and developed countries alike are at fault for alot more then they teach you in AMERICAN schools, why would they teach you what they don't want you to know? One day the truth is going to fall on you.

[Dremfulnsomniac]

(Cont.) Its the same idiots who think that we are anywhere near the living conditions of countries like Brazil who scrutinize cultures being over run by cartels. WAKE UP USA. You did this to the world and you did it to the people living down your streets as well. Only difference in over seas cases is that you backed dirty politicians who erased global regulations on fairtraded produce while on the other hand in your own nation you help enable people through a fueling and faulty social system.

[JenkemChimperfection]

@Drem its white fools like the video creator who will ensure America is destroyed by continually concerning themselves via missplaced compassion with the burdens of parasitic non whites. The Jews trained this video creator and you well with their cultural marxist insanity. This idiot should be helping homeless white kids and their families and making America strong not giving all his time and money to some worthless turd world muds who will die of their own irresponsibility soon enough anyway.

[Wigganator]

lol beards.

[Dremfulnsomniac]

Typical uneducated Americans commenting on this page.. if you knew anything about your country (the way the rest of the world does, because they being destroyed for it) you would know that the living conditions of many developing nations were brought on by all you overprivileged uneducated Americans and your corrupted culture. But of course you wouldn't know because you have bias history poured down your throats through both the elite private schools and the public school system.

[michellekl26]

Please stop. This is so past ridiculous. People are people whether it is down the street or across the ocean. If it is on your heart to help those down the street, then do so. If you have the means and can help someone farther away, then do that. If you are Blessed enough to do both, do that. If everyone just DID SOMETHING instead of arguing about it and wasting time slinging insults at each other there is no end to the number of fellow human beings whose lives would be impacted for the better.

[ImSooAwsum]

Some of you people should be ashamed of what you're saying. Yes, it matters who you help, but you don't know this man's motives for helping in Brazil instead of New York or Chicago or LA. He's doing a great job for a community of people with small opportunities and help growing up in a violent and torn world. And I'm sure that he'd encourage you to help around the world in any way you can.

Damn cynics...

[NorrisAkeem]

why would you go all the way down there when we could have done all that work with our own kids? epicdeuce you took the words right out of my mouth.

[cmanbrazil]

I was ready to knock this video, because what the people are sharing is vastly different than the transformational process he envisions. After reading the cynics, I will at least give him credit for sharing the lives of people trying to elevate themselves and their community. My wife and her family are from a few favelas in Rio, and I have spent time there with them. People would be surprised how the quality of life is far better than what videos show.

[MrGutterbunny]

My mind is awash with thoughts and feelings to do with these things. I just know that I'm very lucky to live where I live. There are many places in the world I wouldn't to be for even the shortest time, and people live their lives there...

[TheVertic]

Wonderful!! All these comments are exactly what I was thinking while watching this, this guys a joke! Whatever makes you sleep at night dude more power to ya, isnt it great that we live in a country that gives its citizens the opportunity to be a philanthropist in another country (cause the US citizens arent worth it and it wouldnt make the news anyway so why bother, right, plus the weather is nice down there)

[leeky253]

GREAT VIDEO

[ChristPuncher1373]

Yeah, he does come off a little smug....lets just hope that being called smug motivates him to try to make a difference in the life of someone somewhere.... Pride and ego are a disease that prevent growth as a person... and he seems be well off, so let's hope some of that money will benefit others....

[MoneyMaker4433]

Wow

[TheOmegaParadigm]

Egotistical, self-praising hipster. You can just feel the smugness emanating from him with each word he speaks.

People have already said it, but if you really want to help humanity, walk down the block and you're sure to find that America is in just as much need in the way of homelessness and impoverishment as anywhere else.

[h1br1dthe0ri3]

@TheOmegaParadigm yes but Americans still have running water and electricity and the availability of food is not a problem.

[TheOmegaParadigm]

@h1br1dthe0ri3 Your point being? Running water and electricity are only available so long as you can pay for them, and though food is far from being scarce, you also need money for that as well. Being unemployed means that there is no guaranteed supply of funding for a person or their family, negating the possibility to pay for water, electricity or food, and being homeless, as I've already mentioned, shows that water and electricity are impossible to have considering that are without a home.

[NumberShift]

@TheOmegaParadigm bullshit. No one is starving on the streets or facing genocide in the United

States. In case you haven't noticed, we have programs like welfare and food stamps. Your ignorance to the suffering of people in actual third world countries is astounding.

[TheOmegaParadigm]

@NumberShift Are you kidding? Genocide, no, but there are certainly people on the verge of hunger due to food deprivation in this country. That isn't a paltry few either; it's a number in the hundreds of thousands, if not millions. The mistake you are making here is comparing what is going in America to where human suffering is at its echelon, such as Africa, where genocide, starvation, disease, and death is rampant. America has it much better, but that doesn't mean it is devoid of suffering.

[dopestarinc9868]

@TheOmegaParadigm im guessing you have not traveled abroad to a place such as brazil, otherwise you wouldn't make such an uninformed statement like that.

[TheOmegaParadigm]

@dopestarinc9868 Yes, I would. I'm aware of the destitution and devastation to human life in a place such as Rio de Janeiro, and all the suffering and crime this destitution brings. However, I never refuted this claim. In fact, I couldn't without looking the part of an absolute fool. It's considerably obvious, the suffering of the world. What I stated, and apparently many have misinterpreted, was that this person needn't go all the way to a foreign land to help when poverty is at home as well.

[Search111add]

@TheOmegaParadigm What's wrong with being proud in taking the initiative? The good feeling he gets from helping is ALL he gets from what he is doing. No money, only the feeling. He is trying to help and you bash him for it. And concerning the fact that he could have helped a community close to him, why does it really matter if he helps at home or abroad? They are still only humans in need, all equally worthy of his help.

[TheOmegaParadigm]

@Search111add Who was bashing him for what he was doing? I wasn't. I was agitated at the smug attitude he gave when speaking. It's one thing to do a good deed, but regardless of what you do, being a braggart about it shows a lack of personal composure and the possibility that he only did what he did for the praise it would gain him. Mind you, I don't believe this person to have done what he did solely for the recognition, but his speaking it a bit conceited. I'm not the only one who thinks this.

[nesgurl90]

@TheOmegaParadigm I'm sorry but "if you really want to help humanity" then help America? That's not right either. You should say that don't think that you can't impact homelessness and poverty right at home if you are from America. But who cares where you donate your time and energy? Each country has its own specific problems and obstacles. We all have different reasons for feeling drawn to, passionate about and concerned about specific communities. Humanity is global, so why chastise people?

[TheOmegaParadigm]

@nesgurl90 I apologize. Apparently many have misinterpreted my words as something they were not intended to be, or maybe my wording itself is at fault. I didn't mean to come off as the sort that would claim that America is the best humanity has to offer because of the wealth, power and standard of living of the country. That would be extremely inaccurate, not to mention an elitist statement. What I was getting at was that if he really wanted to help, he should start at home before anything else.

[OMGEddyissoo1337]

@TheOmegaParadigm LOL what a joke that the most "powerful" country in the world should focus on themselves lmao......We have an obligation to help those in need

[TheOmegaParadigm]

@OMGEddyissoo1337 Well, for one, no, we do not have any sort of inherent, natural obligation to help anyone else. It's our own creation of a moral and ethics system to govern our lives and provide a betterment for the species that determines we must come to one another's aid. Realistically, as dictated as a law, if not the only absolute law, of the Universe, is that might makes right. The most powerful nation could rule all others in any way it wanted without penalty, but our morals deny this.

[amazingyou1uber]

@TheOmegaParadigm Yeah, an Egotistical, self-praising AMERICAN hipster.

[TheOmegaParadigm]

@amazingyou1uber Of course this matters. It's not like any other nation or group of people are conceited or self-worshipping, right? Please. America is a country still in an infantile state. It's only been around for a few centuries. I believe that conceit and egotism has been around a lot longer, and therefore would be prevalent in many other societies, wouldn't you? Your statement itself was a conceited one, considering you claim there is some relation between Americanism and conceit.

[videocish]

@TheOmegaParadigm not everyone is from America, the world has a population of 6.89 billion people and the US only makes up 310 million of that. I do realise this guy is from America thus your comment. But also realise those in poverty in 3rd world countries are worse off than the homeless in America.

[TheOmegaParadigm]

@videocish I wasn't talking about everyone, was I? Just the maker of this video. Nor did I claim that America is somehow more important than anywhere else, as you and many other have apparently misinterpreted. All I wanted to get across was that this person doesn't have to go to another country to help with a poverty situation when we have poverty in the United States as well. If the degree of poverty was an issue, that would be a different story, but this was never a case.

[cjoe94]

@TheOmegaParadigm Because we all know the wealthiest nation on Earth has poverty comparable to that in the Third World.

[TheOmegaParadigm]

@cjoe94 Oooh, sarcasm, very clever. Or, at least it would be had I ever stated the contrary of your argument. I never said that the degree of poverty in America was the same as anywhere else, but merely that poverty itself was as much existent in America as any other country. We have a standard of living so high in America that our homeless could be considered well-off in some places that know nothing more than destitution. However, I never claimed otherwise, making you comment needless.

[Trashfished]

@TheOmegaParadigm Yeah but only in the black democratic run inner cities.

[hpfan9]

@TheOmegaParadigm While it may be true that you can find the same poverty in America, it doesn't lessen the good in this man's deed. He is trying to make an issue known that he feels strongly about. Don't bash on him just because of his personality/hiptser-esque clothing.

In addition, a man in this video, Walmir, wanted so badly to have a good education but did not have the means to receive one. Here in America, not only do we get free education, but too often I see people taking it for granted.

[setag1]

Violence and limited opportunity... What??>?>? There are places here in America which have the same issues. Yes America is the land of get off ur butt and make a difference--but as a whole u could have bought a ticket to Cleveland to experience EVERYTHING u saw in B-Land

[kishaba1980]

no such thing as equal, it's the greatest lie next to god

[MrCommiehater]

@kishaba1980 thats what caught my eye in the title, is he trying to make everyone equally impoverished? How about problems with the corupt gov. and drug dealers they let run the streets. how about the parents,where are any of them and if u cant raise a child and have one it'smy fault and responsibility? I guess if Obama can win a pull-it-ser prize for what he would like to do, this guy should get one just for showing up,lol

[kishaba1980]

@MrCommiehater well said, u speak the truth

[caveirao101]

Come on people! this guy took a vacation there!!! If you really want to help go to New Orleans, Camdem, Detroit! and many others....There are MANY MANY people here in the United States in the same situation! If you want to change the world start in your own house down the street!....And open your eyes!!!!!!!!!.

[AnthonyG522]

this is messed up

[epicdeuce]

Don't have to go all the way to Rio to help the destitute and impoverished. Just go down the street, start in your neighborhood... I'm sure the money on that plane ticket could have helped a lot of people right here.

[sugarcubicle]

@epicdeuce Yep, but its doesnt sound so cool.

[JOAOBUNITAO]

@epicdeuce the difference is brazil's poverty and violence goes way beyond the u.s in 2003 more people died there than the war in vietnam and more kids die in rio then irak and afghanastan and irak combined because the lack of oppurtunity the difference in brazil and america is people can make it in america if they try hard enough witch is why everybody wants to live here

[RightCountry]

@epicdeuce Look, I too have spent time in Brazil. There is no place in this country that even comes close to the poverty and hopelessness that exists in that country. I have lived in L.A. New York, and other areas, where poverty is present. You would fall out of your chair if you saw what this guy witnessed.

[LadyBe12]

@RightCountry

I know, me too. But, everywhere, my friend, the cruelty is everywhere. I am with you, and agree in most ways but feel myself that pain is pain and... poverty is poverty... and suffering is everywhere and it's time for a change.

[Podblur]

@RightCountry
