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.
