Culture

On the other hand, not isolacionismo is a trend found in all the societies until today known. The news of contacts between the peoples are imemorveis. (Mello - 1987) Mello reaffirms that the cultural diffusion cannot have without has a contact, however the acceptance and the assimilation of the elements that the culture of the other composes are excellent the will of the individual, being able it to adopt or not them had cultural aspects in question. As Lowie exists the diffusion center, that serves to identify the points of origin of determined cultural trace, however the complexity occurs in demonstrating to the aiming of one definitive trace, which had to this the anthropologists searchs to demonstrate these phenomena of separate form: The Phenomenon of Parallelism and the Process of Aculturao. The Phenomenon of Parallelism mentions on inventions or inventos to it the related or parallel cultural groups, this process searchs to explain the origin of popular expressions, dictated and sayings, through research on the verbal traditions, however the complexity takes in them to a study directed toward history of one determined culture, the example the Brazilian culture --, that in its formation culture it received the influence from some cultural groups, Portuguese, French, Italian, African such as and this if prove in some sectors of the Brazilian culture, however they are in the popular expressions where the most diverse doubts regarding the point appear of origin, let us see some examples: - Children created, folded works (he also corresponds the Spaniard and Italians); - Nothing as one day after the other (he has correspondent in the Spaniard); - I discovered a saint for I covered another one (corresponding in the Frenchman); As we saw through the examples above cited the diffusion process demonstrates to some complexities in what disrespect the similarities between cultures, however this process obeys a dynamics that can be explained through a phenomenon that occurs inside of the process of cultural diffusion, in this in case that we mention the Process to it of Aculturao.

The Planet

Few days after the 11 of September of 2001, a Brazilian agency of the news informed into which the same day that fell the Twin Towers, 35,615 children died of hunger in the world. Nobody dedicated a special program to them, at its relatives did not arrive no presidential message to them, nor kept no minute from silence. the worse thing is than the 12 of September died another similar number of children, and the 13 another one, and the 14 also, and and thus until today, indicated Carlos Taibo, professor of Political Science and the Administration of the Independent University of Madrid. The last referring data of the FAO to 2008 speak of 920 million people in undernourishment situation, almost 60 million more than in 2007, and closely together of 970 million that the past conform the historical maximum of years 70 of century. The writer and French investigator Sophie Bessis see more ties in the necessary political changes that in the referring technical aspects give productive answer to feeding of the planet: With the present world-wide nourishing production would have sufficient to feed all the planet. The FAO locates in 2.000 calories the necessary ingestion by person and day. If the present production were distributed of suitable way, each inhabitant of the world would eat 2,800 calories daily. For professor Taibo, the guilty are the capitalist globalisation, the governments and the population of the developed countries, that prevent nourishing sovereignty of the towns. The term nourishing sovereignty was coined, as it indicated the director of Veterinarians without Borders, Gustavo Duch, approximately one decade ago by associations of farmers of the South for to vindicate the right to the feeding as a universal right and to propose the recovery on the part of each town of the sovereignty to decide what agricultural model wants to start up, assuring in the first place the feeding the own town .
