Bangkok's or Thai´s 'Mexican' Gangster are an excellent example of what globalization means. By the media all the cultures worldwide are sharing their values, believings and way of live. And in the other hand, the people around the world, are receiving the influence of all cultures; each one decides whether some specific culture are a good example, and also a good option of life. Thus begins the appropiation process that means taking superficial aspects and copy them without following the system.

So in the case of Thai´s 'Mexican' Gangster, they appropiate just the things that they saw likable and interesting as the way of wearing, tattoos, and the music and haircut style. But completely without a relation with violence and drugs, and any other illegal activity. We can learn by the article and the video, how the appropiation process is a reality that is happening now in the world, and this is not the only case, but there are so many cases like this worldwide; and don´t caring when we come from, now we make the decision of what culture each one of us want to follow and get involve.
