  1. Gérson's law

    In Brazil ian culture, G rson s Law Portuguese language Portuguese Lei de G rson is an adage in which those who like to take advantage of everything have no concern for ethics . This expression came into use because of a TV commercial from around 1970 for the cigarette brand Vila Rica , played by Brazil national football team Brazilian footballer G rson . While he is a very well known Association football football player in Brazil and worldwide, G rson was always a source for controversy. In the commercial, that particular cigarette brand was portrayed as being advantageous for being both the best and cheaper than other traditional brands, and at the end of the commercial, G rson said quote You also like to take advantage in everything, right? G rson Later, the player resented having his image connected to the ad, since all kinds of unethical behaviors were linked to his name with reference to the law. The main idea linked to G rson s Law is, undoubtedly, one of the most deeply rooted values in Brazilian culture . While not always openly discussed, the value of that law , the concept of being smart , the usage of connections or pulling strings , are part of the conditioned social behavior s, such as jeitinho and malandragem , that contribute to Brazil s cultural, political and social paradigm.
