Question

what is one aspect of brazilian life that reflects a mix of cultures?

Answer 1

Consider topless beaches. Of all South America, topless is allowed only in Brazil, South American countries are very conservative on this matter. But Brazil is an exception. Now consider that in Germany it is not uncommon to see a few topless women at any public lake or river. Is there a connection in culture?

Music in Brazil is another example.
