Graffiti

I think that graffiti in Argentina have a big impact in the society because show to the people the problems that have, and people accept it not like vandalism but like a way of art, and this ideas give to the society a reflection about the situation that they live every day. The graffiti give to the city be alive , also give  a voice to the nation and a intention of think about politics, corruption and social statement. Similarly to Brazil, graffiti is recognized in all the world  and in other cases (like Argentina) is used for guide for tourists that want to know the special art of a city.

Racism

According to the video “Discriminación en Colombia" Maria Rondon would say that for a society's progress, this should respect peoples's differences: their opinions, religions,thoughts,among others. Also, people should need to recognize themselves to solve problems like racism. Colombia (and minorities especially Afro-Colombian) are taringa to fight against racism for have a better quality of life and society's acceptance.

Bangkok's Mexican Gangsters

In my opinion, Bangkok's Mexican Gangsters are a subculture, a group of people that take some characteristics of the mexican gángsteres and feel like own, and that could be a similarity with the book's text: cultural appropriation.Also, most of these features like: clothes, tattoos and haircuts are adopt for the intention of being motivated by the lifestyle of mexican gangsters , not for commercial purposes and this could be a difference.
