Impact of Graffiti

The graffiti are artistic expressions that reflect the opinions and feelings of people. In many countries, like Argentina, Honduras and Brazil, The graffiti are used to show a specific style. But in countries like Colombia, The graffiti are used to show displeasure or dissatisfaction towards the government , mass media , society, etc. The vast majority of graffiti that we see on the streets are expressing displeasure with political topics. This is because the internal problems in our country. For this reason, I consider the impact of graffiti in Colombia is higher than in Honduras, Argentina or Brazil. However, the graffiti in Colombia are rude and often written with bad words. I think that would be more welcomed by a greater number of citizens if they were not so rude.

Afro-Colombians

Afro-Colombians are a big group of people with a particles characheristic. Many people think that they are different or less person. The society discriminates Afro-Colombians in some situacion. For example, when Afro-Colombians want to get a job. People think the Afro-Colombians are violent people or a thief. In my opinion, we have to accept all people because we hace the same god. All people sould to have the same oportunities in life. In conclusion, we do not have discriminate Afro-Colombians.

Bangkok’s ‘Mexican’ Gangsters

Bangkok’s ‘Mexican’ Gangsters are not the only example of cultural appropiation. Worldwide there are many cases like these, in which a group of people of a culture (Subculture) appropriating traditions, rules, clothing, and etc belonging to other cultures. The case of cultural appropiation is they do not know the meaning or they do not have similar behaviors. This is the case of Bangkok’s ‘Mexican’ Gangsters. They are not violent group like the Real Mexicans or have similar attitudes. They just use clothing and accessories like the real group. In my opinion this group appropriates these details because they think they look cool. They want to appreciate their aesthetic. In Barranquilla is called "Farandulero".
