Having spent fifteen years living and working in Brazil, I have had the opportunity to observe and interact with a broad cross-section of Brazilian society, particularly through my engagements with students at various educational levels. Over this extensive period, I came to a troubling but increasingly clear conclusion: many Brazilian students, despite their passion for their own culture and their deep-rooted religious beliefs, exhibit a significant gap in their knowledge of the wider world. This gap is not merely about lacking specific facts; it reflects a fundamental deficiency in understanding key aspects of global current events, social history, and cultural literacy.
