Messages on the wall

Graffiti, Normal part of a country culture, but no in all places it used is used in the same way by the graffiti artists, It is accord to the situation of the country or a more specific place(state, city, etc.) There are many similarities in many places with the use of the graffiti like Colombia and Honduras, in Colombia, many graffiti express complaints and disagreement with social and political problematic, but there are also graffiti that show the richness of Colombian culture and its origins. Graffiti in Colombia is the voice of the people in the walls, while in Honduras, the country problematic with violence is a main topic of graffiti and more than criticize as Colombian graffiti, it is used to create awareness of the issue and capture the reality there. But in Honduras, in contrast to Colombia, graffiti is also use by political parties to plaster propaganda and slogans so there could be a silent conversation between political parties and people reactions just captured in the walls.

In Brazil, as similar to Colombia, graffiti is used to show disagreement with political climate and corruption but also to protest about the destruction of the natural resources, which are the treasure of Brazilians, in benefit of the big cities.

                                                  (Graffiti opposing to racism)

In contrast to the way  that this three countries uses the graffiti and also in south America, Argentina uses the graffiti as street art, creating a outdoor gallery in the streets. The graffiti in Argentina express feelings and meanings more than specific ideas about social or political events.

Graffiti is not the same in all places; it has different meanings depending on the culture, but if something is true is that always graffiti artists give us a variety of messages with their art.

No to racism, yes to equality

After watching the video "DiscriminACCION en Colombia" we can see the consequences of the racism decades before, because nowadays the people that is really racist and discriminates the afro-colombians is lower than before, but there is a problem in consequence of the past, the afro-colombians do not have much opportunities and they need more of that as I saw at the video only a few afro-colombians kids have the opportunity to go to school, and are less who can go to a university, if they improve this part it would be slow but their situation it´s going to be better, most people shows indifference to the people in this kind of situation, but if we change our mind and accept all kind of people in our country we will progress not only as people, also as a country.

Hi everyone! :3

My name is Sergio Pinzón, and I´m studying systems engineering in Universidad del Norte, Barranquilla, I really like music it is really interesting and I have learned how to play some musical instruments like Guitar, Bass, Flute, Violin(But I Failed at this xD) And now I´m learning to play the drums, actually the past two years y save all my money,  so I could buy the drums with my money, it wasn´t easy because many friends invited me to see movies or things like that so it was a little complicated but I did it and now I´m very happy and my neighbors sometimes get mad at me because of the noise,  Not only is music one of my favorite things to do but playing videogames also, I think it would win the prize if I think about the things that I like to do since I was a child I remember that I played videogames with my brother, friends or alone, but when I began to study here at uninorte I Can´t play the same time that I used to do when I was at the school, so I miss it a little but some weekends I play a little if I don´t go out with my friends to a random place.

Have a nice day :3
