Graffiti

This type of nonverbal communicaton is like a easy way that people used to express their own opinion about what its happening in their country. Not only they want to show just a paint but also they want to show the reality of what they are living at one time. The saddest thing of all is that they do not show good things but violence, corruption, poverty. Here in Colombia we can see a lot of grafittis, most of them show violence but there are some that want to express something funny or creative. I think that graffitis, on one hand, its a good way to demostrate  what people feels, but on the other hand, I think that they are harming the enviroment because they also use walls that are part of a good place in the city, so I think that they are making other people feel like this country is no good at all because we dont care much to show how beautiful is our country. 

Appropriation of mexican subculture by Thai men.

Thai gangsters are an example of a culture appropriation of another subculture because, they are trying to adopt or imitate some characteristics from the Mexican gangster culture, highlighting the fact that they are just trying to imitate some superficial or trivial characteristics like the way they dress. ​We learn from this article that although the Thai subculture is trying to imitate the Mexican gangster subculture, they don’t seem to have a deep understanding of what being a real Mexican gangster is, they are just trying to imitate their aesthetic  because compared to the Mexican subculture the Thais are really calmed, they even ask permission to their wives to get tattoos done, and they work as teachers, policemen and bureaucrats when they are not being a “gangster”, nothing alike Mexican gangster who are really violent and troublemakers.  

Racisms - Afrocolombians

This racism that still goes on in our country for indigenous or Afro-Colombians who face poverty, unemployment and education, need to finish and all the people we live and we want this country to progress, not only economically but socially we must be against the racist discrimination. We live in a country where we want the government to do everything and waited until we got tired, but it's time that us, the citizens make something and make people open their eyes. How is it possible that 42% of Afro-Colombians are unemployed because nobody will accept them? How is it possible that only 2 of 100 people have the opportunity to study? Also we can see that afro-colombians are more who die from lack of food. We need to make a huge change and join communities that are against this discrimination. We should make a difference and do everything possible or whatever is in our hands to make this country a better place.

We are all humans and we should have the same rights and opportunities.

I lovee chocolates!!!

My name is Michelle Gonzalez. I’m a Psychologist student at the Universidad del Norte in Barranquilla, Atlántico, Colombia. I graduate from school in 2012. I’m a very familiar person that likes to share many things with them. I have a big family and we just have fun every time we meet. Also, I like to hang out with my friends like go to the movies, have dinner, drink something or just talk in any place. I’m very shy in the first moment I meet someone, but after knowing the person, I really can feel comfortable. I love to hear music and watch TV when I have nothing to do. I like to travel with my family to different places and visit friends and family. I think that I’m a very happy person with so many blessings and I always try to give the best of me every single day.
