Graffiti in Latin America

Graffiti in Latin America

Well, this is not new to many people, graffiti is a way in that people show their opinion to the public by painting on walls of streets where people often pass by.

Latin American countries are not strangers to this situation, countries such as Argentina, Colombia, Brazil and honduras have many graffiti made by artists who express their opinioin about how politicians govern each of their countries and the violence they see there. 

The main idea of these impressive drawings is to make people react about the situation that are going on, and faithfully wait for a change to better.


But graffiti is also another way to make more beautiful the street, after all this is an art, and many artist prefer to make beutiful their cities by painting.

In conclusion graffiti, speccially on Latin America, used to create a politic change or to make our streets more beautiful, are a tool artist use to give a message to us, and try to make little changes to our lives when we see them. 

 

Bangkok´s mexican gansters

We have been told that the world is like a bandanna, this is every day becoming more and more true. This is due to the evolution that tecnology is presenting everyday, and that is the reason why talking or knowing about somebody at the other side of the world is getting to easy.

It is not a surprise that people, like  these one on the picture , are adopting a new way of life, different to what the main culture at their countries represent. Borning in a place of the world just represent our nationality, not our likes. Our likes, which are extremely related to what a culture involves, define us as persons, and take the one of the most important places when we take a decition. So, with this in mind, selecting a culture for feeling identificated with is just affected by our likes.

To say it in a different way, the culture we feel indentificated with must be that one which we share like, and dislikes, not a one which we are involucred in just by the place we born.

Indignation due to " Discrimination in Colombia"

I just watched the video "DiscriminACCION en Colombia" at youtube and it makes me feel very sad about what is going on in my country. It is unbelivable that although Colombia`s culture is a mixture of three different ethnic groups, we still have problems of discrimitation here. Not only is there a problem, but the alarmaning numbers that this video show us.  I think we as colombians, and as human beings, must reconsidered about the indiferrence we are having with those who are like us, but are not having a good time and might be suffering. 
Helping each other without discrimination is the first step to build a better world for all of us, not only for a few ones.
If you want to watch the video by yourself here is the link:

You can share it with your friends so more people can be concious about what is happening in Colombia, and in general, all over the world

What`s up...!!??

Hi to everyone that is reading this, if you are not reading this ... well good luck(?). Anyway my name is Carlos Pernett Vidal and I am 18 years old, yeah!!! old enough of partying, but no :'( .
 This is due by two reasons: 
1) I am not the party guy who is from one party to another every weekend.
2) Since I am studying at Universidad Del norte at Barranquilla, Colombia. I almost have no time to spend with my family and friends.

As I have mentioned before I study, Electrical engineering and I have the pleasure of coursing my last level of English. So, meanwhile I pass this english level ( if someone reading this would like to help me I would appreciate it :D ) this blog is going to be active and you and me and all the people   will have the opportunity to know things about technology and of course by the person who is bringing you the information ( me ! ) .

For example, so you can get a clue of who is writting for you. My hobbie is to play basketball  and that is the reason because some people say I am too tall (1.85 meters ) .

Well I guess this is all for today, if you have a question don`t feel shy on asking. I will answer you as soon as I know the answer. 

GOD BLESS YOU :D 

Virtual comunities 

A virtual community is a social network of individuals who interact through specific social media, potentially crossing geographical and political boundaries in order to pursue mutual interests or goals. Some of the most pervasive virtual communities are online communities operating under social networking services.

The term virtual community is attributed to the book of the same title by Howard Rheingold. Rheingold  points out the potential benefits for personal psychological well-being, as well as for society at large, of belonging to a virtual community.

Retrived from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_community

It is amazing how virtual networks can help us to know about other people and their cultures. With this tool of the virtual social networks me have the opportunity to expand our knowledge of how people in others sides of the world lives and what likes do they have. 

It can also contribute to know more about the choices we can make so we can feel identificated with one group of people or with another, because of our likes, habits, tends, cloth, etc.
