🌍 Exploring the Northern Region of Brazil

e vamos conhecer a região norte seu
aspectos culturais uma região cheia de
história para contar ir Bora lá borra
[Música]
para divisão regional do Brasil o
Instituto Brasileiro de geografia e
estatística IBGE utilizou o conceito de
região homogênea objetivando delimitar
os limites políticos administrativos das
regiões brasileiras reunindo hoje em uma
determinada região os estados com
semelhanças históricas sociais culturais
econômicas e naturais dessa forma
conforme podemos observar no mapa Brasil
ficou dividido em cinco grandes regiões
sendo essas a região norte nordeste
centro-oeste Sudeste e Sul
Olá hoje nós iremos falar da região
norte essa região de acordo com a
divisão regional do IBGE é a maior
região do território brasileiro a sua
área total é de mais de 3,8 milhões de
quilômetros quadrados equivale
aproximadamente 42,25 por cento do
território brasileiro os pontos extremos
Norte e Oeste se localizam nesse
território dia sim ficou dividida a
região norte do Brasil
e entretanto essa divisão regional
oficialmente adotada no Brasil não
considerou as relações de articulação
inter-regionais assim como não
considerou suficientemente a formação
social das regiões ao longo do
território inclusive na região norte
adequando assim artificialmente as
divisões administrativas E com isso
reunido diferentes realidades numa
determinada delimitação territorial com
uma roupagem de uma genialidade
identidade mascarando portanto a
diversidade existente no país e negando
a realidade em movimento eu tô cansada
sua cada meu Deus Jesus entende-se que a
região é segundo Rick e Castro uma
extensão territorial e social que
interage e configura uma escala
particular do espaço no espaço vivido no
espaço das relações sociais
a identidade cultural do valor simbólico
aos traços singulares da população local
tais como o sotaque a culinária o
artesanato a música os hábitos as
crenças os mitos entre outros elementos
que compõem a diversidade cultural das
diferentes populações existentes no
Brasil mas o que é diversidade cultural
a diversidade cultural representa o
conjunto das distintas culturas que
existem no mundo a cultura compreende o
conjunto dos costumes e tradições de um
povo os quais são compartilhados de
geração em geração
e como elementos culturais
representativos de um determinado povo e
de uma determinada região do Brasil como
por exemplo a região norte Podemos
verificar uma diversidade cultural que
ultrapassa os limites políticos
administrativos delimitados nessa região
essa diversidade portanto é representada
e compartilhada por parte da população
preta indígena Ribeirinha migrantes em
diferentes crenças mitos valores
costumes religiões folclore dança
culinária arte variação linguística
músicas entre outros
e sendo assim pensar a divisão regional
no Brasil sobretudo no que tange a
região norte faz-se necessário
considerar a diversidade cultural e o
espaço vivido uma vez que a sociedade
brasileira foi construída ao longo da
história pela diversidade étnico-racial
E aí
