Graffiti, Art Crime?
-------------------------------
Graffiti are images or letters applied without permission to publicly
viewable surfaces such as walls or bridges. Graffiti can be used to
communicate social and political messages, and as a form of
advertising. It is also considered a modern art form, and can be seen
in galleries around the world.
Modern graffiti is often seen as having become intertwined with Hip-
Hop culture as one of the four main elements of the culture. Now how
should Graffiti be delt with? Most of it would make a nice
neighborhood look bad, but in poor areas depending on the Graffiti it
may add some culture
to it. Taking out Graffiti would be like taking out Hot dogs at a
Baseball game for some cultures.
