Brazil’s democracy

In a democratic country, when a leader is careless of his political capital takes tough decisions and brings prosperity, and unifies the country, democracy rewards him/her in form of gaining charge of the country again because it is by the people and for the people. However, something adversely happened in Brazil when De Silva Bolsonaro known as Lula Brazil attacked by the angry masses.
The following are the takeaways that have been taken from the attack. Firstly, despite bringing prosperity to the country, Lula narrowly wins the election against his opponent who polarized, undermined economically Brazil, and attacked nature (the Amazon) which means that democracy is not delivering well.
Secondly, the world’s most powerful democracy has been undermined by the recent political turmoil in Brazil because on 6 January 2021, Donald Trump’s supporters attacked the capital city and subverted law and order in the capital of the most powerful democracy, but those who attacked the world’s powerful democracy remained untouched partially. While in Brazil, relatively to the US more people have been brought into the realm of law.
Lastly, the new year came up with a new breakthrough in developing countries such as Brazil still technology is not enough mature to couple it with democratic practices like the election and it gives an excuse to the opposing side to exploit its rival by blaming technology.

Woman empowerment propels prosperity

It is really an irony to see women restricted around four walls without emancipation to relish their fundamental rights. The fact can’t be denied that women are the source of the development of nations and change in societies. They contribute significantly to improving the socio-politico and economic conditions of the country. Social change occurs when the social structure of society is rejuvenated and reformed. The archaic and traditional mentality is metaphored into the modern mindset.
These movements lead to change in the mechanism within the social structure:- empowering women with basic rights allowed by the constitution of Bangladesh like participation in the political arena and access to education and so on. Women empowerment will ensure the growth of Bangladesh’s GDP.
