Blog post #3 Grafitti

Nowadays everbody knows what is a grafitti maybe because they see them all the time in their way to home and job or maybe like me in a my way to the university. What I didn't know is how people perceive grafitti in different countries. In my opinion the grafittis in Argentina has been the one with the biggest impact in their country because of the way the goverment and the people have accepted this practice and when they talk about it they called art and not vandalism. Because of the fact that in Argentina graffitit artists are well recognized for their street job and no critiziced like in other countries, their mainly job after painting is to share a message with the community and also sometimes they use their draws to complain about the injustices and actually graffit is an amazing way to call the attention of the people.

Bangkok's Mexican Gansters

In Thailand is found a subculture called the Bangkok's Mexican Ganters which are a minority group that have it is bases in the Mexican Ganters, most of all the participants of these gangs have never been in Mexico, they just know about it thanks to youtube videos and movies they have seen. One of the similarities these gangs have in common with the real ones in Mexico is the way they dress up that basically consist on a big T-shirt and big pants accompained with sneakers, sun glasses and they have no hair just a bald, so they have their particular style. Anotherone is that they have their representative music which is the hip-hop and the rap, most of the Bangkok's Mexican Ganters know how to rap. They have their bodies full of tattos that I think they have gansters meanings. The hudge difference between the Bangkok's Mexican Ganster and the real Mexican gangsters is that they have not being envolve in drugs beacuse they have their families and in the day they work as a common person, they are ganster just at the moment they are together. In mi opinion I don't have any problem with the existence of subcultures because they are necessary for the variety in the world, they can live in a city as we as we do but just if they dont cross the line and abuse of the society that cover us.For the Bangkok's Mexican Gangster we just have to accept the king of life they dicided to live.

About Laura Niño

My name is Laura Niño Mancera, I was born on march 12 of 1997 at the city of Bucaramanga here in Colombia. I am studying  Industrial engineering at the Universidad del Norte in Barranquilla. I moved to Barranquilla less than 9 months ago because I wanted to experience the way people live here at the coast of my country and also because for me Atlantico is a region to admire. But moving to Barranquilla  doesn't mean I don't like Bucaramanga, I loved the place where I was born it's full of parks and beautiful places in which it isn't necessary having a car to visit all of them, the distances are not very long and also in a couple of blocks you can find whatever you want. So I invite all of the readers of my blog to visit Bucaramanga and enjoy what my city have for you!!.
