# 01
Brazil vs Ancient Rome.
___________________________________________________________________________.
In 2015 and 2016, a series of protests in Brazil were held against corruption,
denouncing the government of President Dilma Rousseff. The protests were
triggered by revelations that numerous politicians, mostly from Brazil's
Workers' Party, were being investigated for accepting bribes from the
state-owned energy company Petrobras from 2003 to 2010, while Rousseff was on
the company's board of directors. ________________________________________________.

_____________________________________________________________________________.
Standing on a truck on Avenida Paulista, adorned with banners calling for an end
to corruption, an activist shouts a familiar refrain to thousands of
protesters gathered on São Paulo’s main thoroughfare: “Worse than the actions
of the bad is the silence of the good!” The demonstration in early April
followed another in March in which more than 1m people took to the streets.

_________________________________________________________________________.
Popular opposition to the government of President Dilma Rousseff is
increasing, provoked by the scandal at Petrobras, the state-owned oil
company, in which politicians, mostly from the ruling coalition, are accused
of colluding with company officials and contractors in a vast bribery scheme.
Last month, the company reported R$6bn ($2bn) in losses directly related to
corruption. ________________________________________________________________________________.

Brazil vs Ancient Rome.
_______________________________________________________________________. In December 2015, the Supreme Court halted a decision by the head of the
lower house, Eduardo Cunha - a bitter rival of Rousseff - to start procedures
for the impeachment of the president. Cunha has also been severely weakened
by a corruption investigation against him, which could end up costing him his
post. Although Cunha is no longer the leading figure of the impeachment
drive, he retains the capacity to obstruct the government agenda. He has
appealed the ruling of the Supreme Court on the impeachment, meaning that
nothing can be decided on that front until his appeal is addressed. ______________________________________________________________________________________.

Dilma Rousseff. In terms of the economy, her presidency was a succession of errors.
She insisted on placing Guido Mantega as finance minister despite having no
credibility among economic actors. Meanwhile, she intervened constantly in
the economy’s direction, forcing interest rates to go down and controlling
both energy and oil prices. The government began to employ measures meant to
mask a growing deficit, all in the name of reelection. ____________________________________________________________________________.

# Example:
Brazil
vs Ancient Rome.
The approval ratings for
President Dilma Rousseff dropped to record lows due to a slowing economy. It happened also because of increasing
unemployment, a weakening currency and rising inflation. Upper-class
Brazilians stated that Rousseff could not manage the Brazilian economy. They
also said that she used class tensions to benefit her political campaign by
stating that her political opponents were "enemies of the poor,"
when, in fact, the poor felt betrayed. Dilma had passed policies to avoid an investment-grade
downgrade, which ended up supposedly hurting lower-class Brazilians.
Diocletian frequently faced more than
just administrative problems. More and more military defenses had to
be built across the whole empire. This cost money that Rome did not have. To
pay for these, taxes were increased and extra coins were minted. This lead to
inflation causing prices to rise. Therefore, the people of Rome were less
than favorable towards those who led them. Social, financial problems,
and a civilian population slowly becoming discontented, Roman Leaders could not avoid the
fall of the Roman Empire.

activities. Remember: we have studied about this all in class.
( ) Second, ask your Mom and Daddy to give
you five real

from the Latin word elabi which means "to slip away." Elapsed time is simply the
amount of time that passes from the beginning of an event to its end.
