  However, further elements of this connection remain unexplored. This thesis focuses on some aspects of how Brazilian political and intellectual elites saw US society, as well as how the representations they created allowed them to reflect on their own identities. It will be demonstrated that assessments were influenced by ideological beliefs and events at home and in the United States, and that negative and positive images coexisted throughout our research period. Overall, there are outstanding historical studies that tackle different aspects of Brazil-US ties during the nineteenth century from varied perspectives.  In 1979, historian Joseph Smith concentrated his research Illusions of crisis: Anglo-American Diplomacy Toward Latin America, 1865-1896 on the period between the end of the United States Civil War and the end of the British political grasp on Latin America as a result of a diplomatic crisis in Venezuela. This thesis uses a comparable timeline but argues it differently. Sm

   The value of U.S. exports to Brazil went up by only 1%, or $375 million, to $37.6 billion in 2013. The rise was due to more agricultural goods being sent to Brazil. Exports of agricultural goods went up by $1.3 billion, mostly because more grains were sent abroad. In 2013, U.S. grain exports to Brazil increased by $1.2 billion, which is more than 7,000%. This big jump was caused by a lot of U.S. wheat being exported. In 2013, the US shipped almost 3.5 million metric tons (mmt), which was the most in 30 years. This was due to a record U.S. wheat crop and a rise in demand in Brazil. As a large net consumer of wheat, Brazil usually gets its wheat from Argentina, which is nearby. However, when Argentina's wheat production dropped, the price of its wheat went up. The Argentine government stopped wheat from leaving the country, so Brazilians had to find other places to get it.  In Brazil, U.S. wheat usually has to pay a 10% import tax But, this common external tariff (CET) was lifted

  Attempting to answer this question will lead us to describe the thesis' contribution to this body of knowledge. A review of scholarly production in the field of Brazil's foreign relations reveals that academic attention has primarily been directed to the period following the collapse of the European powers in the aftermath of World War I, when the United States had already consolidated its position as the new hegemonic power with which Brazil had to contend. When scholars in the field of international political economics consider the case of Brazil within the broader category of Latin American-US relations, the decades of the 1920s and 1930s are conventionally regarded as the definitive onset of U.S. consumer and capital goods penetrating the Brazilian market to the final detriment of the British, and thus as a watershed moment for the study of mutual trade flows.55 In general, when researchers of economic and diplomatic history trace this trend back, they only find roots aft

  The health services in both Brazil and Mexico are very disorganized. There are a few federal hospitals in Brazil, as well as federal, state, and municipal funding for the Family Health (Saúde da Familia) program, which is run by the country's over 4,000 municipalities. The program includes regular visits from medical teams to families, federal transfers to municipalities for other health programs, state-funded and operated hospitals, municipal hospital spending and extra primary care services, state Autorquias, which are semi-independent providers that serve government employees, military health services, and Petrobras and other public entities that have their own healthcare arrangements and funding. The private sector is big and offers many ways to get care and pay for it, such as indemnity insurance, medical cooperative services, and insurance plans that are vertically integrated.  A lot of big private companies give their employees insurance and other services The Instituto Me
