Graffiti around the world.

Having watched the video, we can see that both Colombia and North Africa, graffiti help make criticism of the government, the dissatisfaction of the population towards a specific situation, etc. We can also find differences in the sense culturar reflected in each country graffiti in Colombia are very influenced by Indian culture and history; lie that there is no such influence in northern africa, but if there are Muslim religious symbols which, in turn, are not in Colombia.

Thai and Mexican gangsters

Thai and Mexican gangsters


The reason of Thai gangsters are an example of cultural appropriation of another subculture is because they adopted different things that can be recognized by others like tattoos, clothes also hairstyles that have a real meaning for the mexican gangsters and now all of that is part of Thais in fashion.

I learned about Thai and Mexican subcultures from this article and video within the article that Thai gangsters follow the Mexican gangsters clean style; however they have differences that make possible recognize one group of another, the most important for me is the association with violence from mexican gangsters in Latin America the fact that they fight constantly with each other is a negative point, while they dont deal about illegal drugs. As a conclusion they are part of a subculture and can share style and thoughts but at the same time may differ.
