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.
Hi Carlos!
ResponderEliminarI think we belong to where we born, those places define us when we don't know anything about the world (when we are to little to understand). And sure, we all have the right to live our lives as we prefer. But take other's styles doesn't mean that we should forget about our traditional customs. We need a balance between our likes and our traditions, because every culture have their attractive and sometimes we are just confusing cultures with social trends.
Hello Daniela
EliminarMaybe you missunderstood me.I was not trying to say that they forget their traditional customs, but feeling identificated with cultures found mostly in others countries like this case Mexico.
I think people like those Thai`s men are getting involved into Mexican`s culture and once they got enough information they will figure out that balance between their gansters` likes and their thai`s original culture
I agree with your point of how globalization has affected the appropriation of other cultures, but I think it is not good that you adopt another culture just for something you like, I think there is something that should unite closely to your culture, I bet many people do not know the place of origin of the cultures that personifies.
ResponderEliminarI believe to have an influence from another country doesn't mean we don't respect ours. I do believe people have the right to live their lives in the way they want in order it doesn't affect others.
ResponderEliminarI guess we have the same point of view Pernett because I think that everyone has the right to choose what they want to be in life, no matter where they were born. I admire these guys because very few people have the courage to live in a different way and also maybe to be tolerant with people that may insult them because their point of view. I will be wiating for your next post.
