Social exclusion in Brazil

Social exclusion is probably the worst problem that exists in Brazilian society. This exclusion can be found from various forms. There are beaches for rich only, to middle class only and poor only. The best universities, which are free, are places where the vast majority of students are from affluent social classes.
The same is happens with shopping centers. These shopping centers and services that could be an area of integration, actually, just reproducing and enhancing the social and economic inequality in Brazil.
These islands are places where the middle class has the false impression that they are safe, that they are protected. But this is only an illusion that reflects the urban decay of the major Brazilian cities. And unfortunately, this trend of building shopping malls is arriving in small and medium sized cities. Finally, the shopping centers are just another reflection of the perverse logic of exclusion in Brazil.

I live in brazil and social exclusion is really a big problem here. But in all the places it happens, maybe not like in brazil, but it happens. It's not in all brazil that there are people who don't worry with the other people, in smaller towns it's a bit different, and even in big cities there r all kinds of people, there r ppl helping too...

sorry if my english is bad, it's not my first language

I agree! I went to Sao Paolo for the first time and i saw that. The "Haves" keep themselves secluded and ignore the poverty next door to them. The "Have Nots" well they are fucked...People walk near you and they Ignore you. No way out. You're born into that..You'll die into it. Then you wonder why there is soo much crime there. Can you blame if the poor steal?
