Graffiti, the way of communicate

hi, recently i`ve noticed many graffities at the city, i`ve seen many articles about the topic, but not only in Colombia, also in many other countries arround the world.
i can say that grafiti art is consider by two types of people, first type, people whom are against graffiti, the other part are the ones whom are in a good mood about it. but it is true that all people even if they are against or support these. they have one oppinion in common: these is a way to transmit a message, the message that they are transmitting change because of the conditions of the country or city in wich is created the graffiti. well, this is for latin american countries. but what happen in african counties?: it happen the same; graffiti is their way to transmit a message about anything, either political things, or personal things. it is interesting how people think tha same way but they are in different places; even when people use grafffiti to different things, like protesting or for a jocke, they all have the same purpose, that is to communicate anthing, it doesn't matter about the topic of the graffiti to know the real purpose of it, that is communicating.

“Bangkok’s ‘Mexican’ Gangsters”


    well people, first when i saw this title i junst start thinking about how weird these sounds, i mean being a gangster is one understanding thing but being a ganster of a country that is at the oposite side of the world is too weird. in cultures there exsist something called cultural appropiation, these means to appropiate of some aspect of one culture being of another culture. This is an evident example of cultural appropiation because Thais, well, they are a culture with specifict things and believes, and Mexican gangsters are a sub culture whith specific thins and believes too, so Thais appropiate of these aspecto of Mexican culture, the"gangster" style, also they do it respectfully, the do it because they like to not to joke on it so their behavior is good, they are not causing trouble to anyone while acting like this.while seeing these we can learn many things of these kind of sub cultures, things like how thwy like to dress, how the speak, what kinds of slang they use, etc. Also we can learn about Mexicans and Thais, things like their opinion of the corruption in their countries and things like that. so that was my point of wiew of “Bangkok’s ‘Mexican’ Gangsters”, good bye.

colombian´s racism against AfroColombians

Hi everyone, recently i saw the a video that shows how are AfroColombians treated. i}ve think alot about these topic and all that i can say is these : "man can only being realize in sosciety" aristoteles.. these statement means that we, man, are realy weak and we cannot survive without help of the others, thats why we create soscietyes, so we only can be realize in sosciety, but now we aren´t doing it well. we cannot live in sosciety with racism and discrimination so. why we are being like that? it is shameful for all humans to be racist and to have some kind of ideas of being superior to other people just for their skin color, thats something realy stupid, people of all colors can do the same things, we are humans, thats all that matters, it is not important if you are white, black, child, women, men. it doesnt matters, but not all is lost, as i saw on the video there are many organizations wich are working on the protecction of the AfroColombians rights. One of these is "El Observatorio de discriminacion racial". it is protecting Afro people and punishing all the racist people. these is one step for being a real sosciety, we are correctig our mistakes, thats good and make me glad for being human. i wish we all can live in a sosciety without these kind of acts someday.
