However, following the 2015 economic debacle, it became exceedingly difficult for President Rousseff\u2019s government to deliver on both. In response to this situation, politicians and citizens alike became politically factionalized, socially polarized and increasingly intolerant and uncivil in their everyday interactions, even among family members and long-time friends.<\/p>\n<p>To defuse these and other socio&#8211;economic and political problems, President Rousseff\u2019s government implemented a series of wide-ranging reforms, including trimming some of the social programs that had provided impoverished citizens (one in four) with new opportunities. During her talk, President Rousseff will discuss the challenges that her government faced, its accomplishments and limitations, some of the difficult decisions and choices that it made and how these, in turn, have alleviated some problems while at the same time generating new ones that have yet to be resolved.<\/p>\n<p><u><b>Tickets are free.
