Positive Effects of the Carnivals The carnival includes some positive effects like people coming together for sharing the experience during the carnival. The tradition of life, culture and creativity are been shown to the world by the people of Brazil (DeSouza and Courie 2015). The pride of the community is constructed. The performers show new challenges and ideas to the people of various countries. The two most positive effects are been described in details.

Social Dislocation also takes place community. The amenity loss results in the bad effects of comfort, quality and convenience in the life of people. The major setback are been discussed in details. Investment are made which is not required in future: The investment made on building the infrastructures like transforming the rows into primary schools. The carnival occurs for a few days in a year. Therefore, such a huge investment made on the infrastructure that is used only for a week is not expected from a country like Brazil where facilities for the education is too weak and the people generally live a below privileged life. The buildings could not be adopted as school and due to issues like lightening and ventilation. 2) Disturbances caused to the society: The resident of Rio who lives near the place of performances as it caused too much disturbances. The crewmembers face extreme challenges for performing during the carnival. The carnival also somewhat affects the culture and social life (de le Torra and Rodrigues-Toubes 2017). Tourist from all over the world comes for watching the carnival and the culture as well as the social life gets intermixed. People commit nuisance in t he street and affect other peoples life style. The construction of Sambodromo also caused lot of difficulties for the people. The construction of these sambodromo leads to the segregation of the land (Gibson 2013). The resident faced the difficulty of mobility and accessibility while going in the street. The government has many projects and plans but they failed to implement those and focused on constructing sambodormo. Conclusion The carnival of Rio being one of the largest carnivals in the world should concentrate on giving security to the tourist as well as the performers. The video shows that many of the performers are injured at the time of practicing. However, the performers are the experts but experts could also commit mistake. Therefore, government should take some steps for the performers. The tourist should be well abiding by the facts that enjoying in the carnivals out of the limits could cause a problem for them only. In a whole carnival of Rio though having some positive effects but the negative facts are dominating the fact as the economic structure of Brazil is not that superior.
