Palas, her question is whether Brazilians are free to organize into movements and stage protests, rallies and other types of public manifestations.

Yes, Brazilians are free to organize. Some cities may require that protesters give advance notice so they can organize traffic, etc.

Besides soccer teams, there are religious groups, charities and all type of other non-governmental agencies (NGOs).

What is the state of civil society is this country in?

Democracy

What other civil society are there besides soccer?

Believe or not, Brazil is simmilar the US

a multiracial country

most of you guys think that all of us live in favelas, that all brazilians are black, and everyone loves the beach.

Brazil is a capitalist country, we have huge cities like Sao Paulo (it has a subway system, just like NYC)

Brazil has a population of 190 million people

45% of those are white (descendants of portugueses, italian and germans)

85 million people in Brazil are white, most of them live in the South

we have shopping malls, in Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro we even have "upscale" malls with brands like Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Diesel, Dolce and Gabana, Carolina Herrera, Armani, etc.

people are free to organize, we have different media outlets

the most famous TV networks are: Globo, Record, SBT and Band

there are a lot of BRAZILIAN cable channels, sports channels, news channels, etc.

most teens listen to songs in english, we even have radio stations similar to those "HIT MUSIC STATIONS" in the US

the most popular:

Joven Pan

and

Transamerica

both of them claim to be "Brazil's number 1 hit music station"

Yes Brazilians are free to organize however it is not the same as in other countries. Some restrictions can be found in the way that labor unions and companies can reach deals, they do not have freedom to contract but rather must have a judge mediate the dispute costing both sides time and money.
