From a Brazilian friend of mine:
Uruguay, Argentina and Chile have a vastly different history from Brazil. These countries were colonized by settlers, Brazil as a slave plantation. This is why Brazil has so much violence and poverty compared to the others. This has been the system ever since then. Yes the country is too diverse to be unified completely.
The Chilean system is indeed very successful, it is by far the best on the continent.
Brazilians lack work and study ethics. Unfortunately the Brazilian culture is based on laziness, promiscuity and taking advantage of situations. That's why even our most educated individuals end up being corrupt.
