Role of Graffiti

Graffiti shows a clear example of what it means to want to be heard in a society , is the demonstration of a specific situation which carries an emotional character represented artistically , usually graffiti shows art forms and also disagreements with the state or with the politic system


  In the case of Colombia it can be seen that graffitis represent the dissatisfaction of the people with the state and with the high level of corruption in the country. In Argentina happens most of graffitis represent artisitc illustrations that decorate the city of Buenos Aires. Similar to the case of Brazil , which is a  country that faces a big conflict with the crime but it´s illustrations shows that graffitis are made it for political mobilizations but not for complaining , for its part Honduras , Tegucigalpa particularly it happens that the population wants to end violence through graffiti since making a call to peace.

Gangs have always been an example of groups that have emerged because of the social inequality and delinquency , most people has the knowledge that Mexico is one of the most dangerous countries in this aspect , but in the case of Thai youth, it can be said hat they represent clearly an appropriation of another subculture , but it is notable that they do so as a way of valuing the thoughts and ideals of other subculture without actually committing violent acts which i think personally that good and at the same time interesting , nowadays  we are in the 21st century which refers to a free expression era in which society must show respect for human life and the rights of other not mattering the differences or preferences.

Afro Colombians

It is sad to know about the situation that today spans the Afro-Colombian population , which continues to be discriminated , the most shocking thing of all is the low proportion of young people who have access to education , I think the government is in obligation to protect the equal rights with these people because they are part of the Colombian people, in a personal opinion as a Colombian i feel very sad for those who are in need and my suggestion is to take in a more serious way this situation

I have lived all my life in Barranquilla which  makes me feel proud of my city development because i was born here. I had the pleasure of traveling to the U.S so many times, I have family up there and I have to say that it was such a wonderful experience.
