Graffitis in Barranquilla

Grafittis in Latin America

The common use of graffiti is nothing else that criticizes goverment, the corruption or any problem that the country have at the time, the sometimes try to express feelings about wars, injsutice, inequality of gender or to create something using the street as a blank canvas.
Countries like Colombia or Honduras are sending messages about the situation of how people live. For example in Honduras, Tegucigalpa has become one of the most dangerous cities and people from this city in an act to inform and show to the citizens the situation and how is the government abandoned them or how is the government not making an effort to solve this problem, in the other hand, in Bogotá graffitis are sending messages about injustice, corruption, violence and delinquency, those are also ways to show the people what is  happening and why is not the government reacting to this situations; Sometimes the only way people can scream the thoughts about society and problems is using the grafitis.
But this two differ from Brazil because of people known as Os Gêmeos, this people use the builds as their canvas in order to paint gigantic forms of art, this is also seen in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
To conclude graffitti is a good way to express feelings and thoughts about everyday life themes, even so they are banned in some places; the graffittis could also be a good way to make places more beautiful and color.

The similuted of this graffittis and the one used in noth Africa is that both of them show political changes and express things that happen in the country.

The "cholo" culture in Bangkok

How the Thai people try to copy the mexican gangster also kown as cholos is a good example of how the foreign culture is absorbed and use it in the day of day in the life of some people by media like the news and internet.But what the thai people is trying to copy is not a good example of foreign culture.The brutality and violence that the mexican band show to world is not something that should be copy even though the Thai people only copy the way of dress and the haircutts and also the Thai dissaprove the violence.Something that make one think is the fact that the people who use this style is people who have jobs and are married like in the text said many of them consult their wives before get tattoed.Finally this is something that should not be copy becuase is a bad example of how latinos are.
