Graffiti all over the world


As a social protest the graffiti is all over the world. In Colombia, Brazil, Honduras, Argentina and more. Graffiti is a way to express our feelings, and in most of the south americans countries (even in central america) we are feeling unconformity with our goverments and politicians. In Colombia graffiti reflects the violence and problems with guerrillas, in Argentina is the satire against the political issues, Brazil is about the poverty problem, in Honduras the violence and the abuse of force by the police, but the general idea is the social protest. The graffiti is a scream for help, help for the people... And the worst is that in most of this nations, graffiti is vandalism.

Racism as an evolution failure

According to Charles Darwin's theory of nature selection, the specie adapt to the environment, and the species evolution is thanks to those characteristics that allow the adaption process. 

Now, the racism in the human specie is all the opposite of this statement; It does not allow a better adaption process because creates hostility between people, dismiss our genes variability and in a no direct way, forces us to reproduce with our relatives because the circle of the reproduction is smaller according to the pass of the time. 

Based on this, i think that racism is an evolution failure.
