Graffitis around the world

In the videos,photos and articles about the graffitis in Argentina, Colombia, Brazil, and even Northern Africa share a feeling that is to express what they are thinking about their countries. For example, the graffitis in Honduras want to show us what is their situation that they live, the farmer holding a gun instead of a pitchfork its a very shocking image, because the artist want to express that in his country the violence prevails. In the case of Colombia we see a lot of graffitis that show us the discomfort with the goverment, also in Northern Africa they have the same kind of graffitis, they want to make a statement that they disagree with the goverment. But the graffitis is not only about violence, goverment or bad things, this a way to express emotions, to give us a way  to communicate, the graffitis are an amazing art, and the artist deserve our gratitude because they make the city look brilliant.

Thailand or Mexico?

In the article and the video we can see an appropriation of the mexican culture by thai men. The new trend for men in Bangkok is to dress like mexican ganster and feel like a one. It is very weird to see that many of the men in the video have normal jobs, they actually dont do anything illegal as a mexican mob. We can appreciate in the article and the video that thai men really like the style of the mexicans, I really dont get it, because mexico is far away from thailand. They dress like them because that make easier to comfront the weather, but there is another ways to dress that bring you the opportunity to feel comfortable, they need to have more reasons to like especially that culture. But hey it is important to do whatever you want. Dont judge and feel free to be yourself!

Black or white what is the difference?

It is amazing to see a wonderful country as Colombia having a diversity of ethnic groups. But is very sad to know that the afro-american people live in poor conditions. That is very normal to watch black people living in the streets, without the basic rights and servicies that a social rule of law as Colombia must provide to their people without discriminations, it doesnt if you are latin, chinese, black or white people. But is very cool to watch people come together and create organizations against the discrimination, how amazing is to know that we are people who have feelings, and its very comfortable to know that people are going to be for you. Colombia is a country that have a lot of resources, but the goverment doesnt distribute them in a equitable way. The goverment need to realize that there is a lot of people without a bread under their arm, that outside their perfect world, there is a ugly world, that they are forcing the people to live that way, they need to bring opportunities to everyone, they need to do something good for their own people.
