EXIT TICKET QUESTION:
Did the information presented change your mind about whether or not oppressed people should use violent or nonviolent resistance?
Explain your answer.
Economic and political systems of oppression inspired non-privileged people in Brazil to resist.
Similar types of protests have used violence to resist oppression around the world. Sometimes they are effective, other times they are not.
In the end some of the demands of protesters (money for education and the poor, less taxes) were met. Other demands were not.
These improvements caused many non-privileged people to be evicted or imprisoned.
Instead, powerful and wealthy Brazilians influenced the government to spend money to make improvements to the country before events like the World Cup and Olympic Games.
Money the government gained from taxes and services was not being used to help the poor.
Privileged people in Brazil were thought to be exploiting people without privilege.
Today we will look at an example of people resisting oppression. This is the story of Brazil’s “Vinegar Revolt.”
