Bangkok’s ‘Mexican’ Gangsters
From my point of view the things I think that Bangkok’s ‘Mexican’ Gangsters are an example of cultural appropriation because we can see how someone is trying to imitate something from other culture. They are clearly an example because they are a group of people to have a normal life but share a empathy for certain culture. But clearly do not do everything just as many Mexicans however these people just take this as a hobby. From my point of view I things that this phenomenon isn´t good because many people tend to do things that are not of their culture, that is, do things that have never been instilled in them. I mean how someone can do something that is not tightly bound or feel a type of appreciation. I bet none of these imitators known mexico. I can say that it is better appreciate our own culture and is something we lack many Colombians.
Besides this we can learn from these groups as making a bad copy of a culture and nothing else. XD

Racism against AfroColombians
Racism is a phenomenon that has many consecuancias in other countries also have in Colombia. Although it has been many time since the slavery is sad to see some people in such a diverse country in races that were the product of the fusion of Indians, blacks and white still suffering from these kinds of thoughts that do not help build a better country with equal rights. In our country is clearly seen as black people living in a large porcenjate more precarious and less opportunities to get chances. It's time to end up with these ways of seeing things because at the moment we understand how rich is our country it would be a better place to live.

Introduction
My name is Héctor Castilla, and I am studying Mechanical Engineering at the Universidad del Norte in Barranquilla, Atlántico, in Colombia. Playing soccer is one of my favorite things to do, also the other thing that i love to do is eat. I think that always everyone have experiences that changes their lives, commonly these experiences start a important transformations in our live. In old Greek culture this process is called catharsis. This Blog is created with the goal of share the most common experiences that humans used to live.
