Cultural diffusion is the spread of culture,
including aspects such as clothing and food, from one group to another,
typically as a result of making contact for the first time.
European explorers bringing back foods and other items, such as tobacco, from
newly explored lands is an example of cultural diffusion.
When one culture begins to adopt elements of another, be it in manner,
religion, food, clothing, agricultural practice or other cultural elements,
this is cultural diffusion. People in Moscow experienced cultural diffusion
from America when McDonalds was first introduced in that region. The concept of
a fast-food restaurant serving hamburgers was exotic and new to them at that
time. Cultural diffusion isn't necessarily a good thing, however. It can lead
to the displacement of native cultural traditions, and it can even be
dangerous. For example, according to Boise State University, when French
explorers arrived in North America, they introduced the smallpox virus, which ended
up devastating populations of natives whose immune systems had never been
exposed to that particular disease.

Brazilian culture has been shaped by
various groups of migrants: Portuguese, Italian, Japanese, African, Arabian and
German, and to a lesser extent by original inhabitants, just to mention the
most important influences. Different population groups and different cultural
customs and visual cultures mingled. This is reflected in Brazilian food, for
example. The daily menu of an average family may include Portuguese, Japanese,
Indian, Arabian and Italian recipes.
After colonization, the Dutch and
Portuguese brought huge numbers of slaves to Brazil
to work on the plantations. These slaves kept some of their traditions, so that
even today various African influences are to be found in Brazilian culture — in
visual arts, in music and in food. African influences in contemporary art are
often in the works of artists from Afro-Brazilian families. During the
colonization period talented slaves were recruited to decorate churches, though
they had to conform to the Catholic canon. It was not until the second half of
the 20th century that artists went searching for their cultural roots and, for
example, work began to appear based on visual elements in traditional African
religions such as Umbanda, for centuries the means of spiritual escape for
slaves.

Choosing the right career can be
difficult, but having a defined career direction will help you with getting a
job. But with a little hard work, some planning, and some serious
self-reflection, you can set yourself on a path towards a fruitful, fulfilling
career that can provide for you and your family.
Text.04
“You may excel in several different areas, which is good, because
workers no longer necessarily stay in one kind of job for a lifetime. People
are usually good at the things they enjoy, so slow down. Give yourself time to
see where you excel. I am positive that if you do, you'll find your passion(s)
in a field you enjoy.”
