The Gavea Tourist, in Rio de Janeiro, is an empty shell of a hotel, a 14-story modernist monument of
disintegrating concrete and decaying beauty that has been abandoned for four decades. It is one of three
huge, architecturally ghost hotels in Rio de Janeiro, all of which are vacant in a city facing a shortage of
rooms for June´s World Cup soccer tournament.
Rio could use the Gavea Tourist´s 400-odd rooms. Instead, it is an emblem of the obstacles that interfere
in Brazil´s World Cup preparations: bureaucracy, a slow-moving judiciary and a lack of imaginative
planning.
´´The bureaucracy is phenomenal. The technical capacity of the Brazilian state to produce infrastructure
. . . is very low´´, said Christopher Gaffney, visiting professor in architecture and urbanism at Rio's
Federal Fluminense University.
Porque o Hotel na Gávea de 14 andares, que foi construído para o evento, não tem mais quartos
livres.
Porque deveriam ter previsto que, com o número provável de visitantes, a construção de apenas
um hotel a mais na cidade não seria suficiente.
Porque três imensos hotéis deveriam estar prontos e isso não ocorrerá até lá.
Porque o governo Brasileiro não consegue lidar de maneira eficiente com estes movimentos.
Porque o governo Brasileiro não está preparado não somente pela burocracia, mas pelas leis
sobre infraestrutura.

Weber´s action theory would take into consideration the way someone was raised, the family
relationships, the human values while behavior is meant to designate the independent significance
of the human beings.
Weber regarded action and behavior basically as synonyms, as one was a consequence of the
other. Action, in his opinion, would lead to behavior.
Behavior is an automatic response that occurs with little thought, whereas action is the result of a
conscious process in which people give meaning to their actions and the world around them.
Weber´s behavior theory is associated with the institutionalization of authority and corporate
groups while the action theory deals with the process of systematic development of modern
theoretical social sciences.
According to Weber, behavior takes account of the attitude other people have in relation to us and
is thereby oriented in its course. Action is for him unmotivated.

Sociology is a science which has a rich and varied history. Whether it be the social systems approach or the social
exchange tradition, it is deeply committed to the development of sociological theory in the service of addressing
fundamental sociological questions about the empirical world. What has sociology been concerned with, since its
beginning?
To the best of our knowledge, it has been worried with human beings and their relationship with God. It
addresses humans as created in the image of God, with a special qualitative relation to God compared to other
species.
Due to its relevance in our lives, it is concerned with the biological features that make us human (such as
physiology, genetic makeup, nutritional history and evolution).
It has been concerned with the relationship between the individual and society, the role of culture in social life
and how identity develops in a social context.
Given its importance in every aspect of our social life, the concept of sociology is concerned with the history of
human past through its material remains.

The hotels Brazil needs for the World Cup never got built. (THE WASHINGTON POST)
The Gavea Tourist, in Rio de Janeiro, is an empty shell of a hotel, a 14-story modernist monument of disintegrating
concrete and decaying beauty that has been abandoned for four decades. It is one of three huge, architecturally ghost
hotels in Rio de Janeiro, all of which are vacant in a city facing a shortage of rooms for June´s World Cup soccer
tournament.
Rio could use the Gavea Tourist´s 400-odd rooms. Instead, it is an emblem of the obstacles that interfere in Brazil´s
World Cup preparations: bureaucracy, a slow-moving judiciary and a lack of imaginative planning.
´´The bureaucracy is phenomenal. The technical capacity of the Brazilian state to produce infrastructure . . . is very
low´´, said Christopher Gaffney, visiting professor in architecture and urbanism at Rio's Federal Fluminense University.
A burocracia e a incapacidade administrativa de lidar com a área econômica por parte do governo local
inviabilizou as obras.
Problemas relativos aos movimentos sociais que poderão gerar situações complicadas.
Porque o governo Brasileiro não consegue lidar de maneira eficiente com estes movimentos.
Porque o governo Brasileiro não está preparado não somente pela burocracia, mas pelas leis sobre
infraestrutura.
O Rio de Janeiro terá problemas porque um hotel na Gávea não ficou pronto.
Porque deveriam ter previsto que, com o número provável de visitantes, a construção de apenas um hotel a
mais na cidade não seria suficiente.
O Rio de Janeiro não terá quartos de hotel em número suficiente para abrigar todos os visitantes.
Porque muitas construções de hotéis não estarão prontas até lá. Há obras inacabadas como o Hotel na
Gávea, por exemplo.
A burocracia é fenomenal, a capacidade técnica do governo Brasileiro para produzir infraestrutura é precária/
ineficiente.
