...I agree that overall graffiti is considered art but there are things that aren't considered art like tagging (when a person makes a signature that they use one color and make a signature that has no skill and work) but big pieces of art that are deeply put work into and well thought out and people look at for hours and hours. Graffiti is just an escape for there fun time and then they create masterpieces just for doing their fun stuff. Graffiti could be on a really big canvas too. There are places where you are allowed to graffiti like in Denver a lumber yard was opened up for graffiti for free. If you thought that graffiti isn't considered art and it went farther to getting rid of graffiti forever it would cost 1.5 billion dollars. Some...

...Welcoming Urban Graffiti Every day you wake up and see graffiti. But what people do not know, is that this is a way that the creator can express themselves to the public. All the time, people are finding tags or unwanted graffiti on walls that are ruining buildings. What if the people instead of doing graffiti for marking, why not using their abilities to make the graffiti for good? Urban graffiti can tell stories, events in the past, and rise tourism numbers, or even be used to beautify the communities. Urban graffiti has good intentions for what it does to communities around the world. In Buenos Aires, Argentina, the graffiti has been used to tell stories of troubled pasts. They have been used as a tool for resistance and activism. For example, “Buenos Aires is a fascinating example of a city where the walls talk, telling tales of a troubled past. Here, graffiti has been used as a tool of resistance and activism.”(Newsela). Graffiti...

...modern day graffiti may be traced back to the 60’s. This art movement started in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where graffiti was used mostly by political activists and gangs which used graffiti to mark their territory. One of the first appearances of what can be call modern graffiti that appeared in Philadelphia can be credited to CORNBREAD and COOL EARL. The appearance of graffiti in Philadelphia was the first conscious effort at bombing where CORNBREAD and COOL EARL wrote their names all over the city gaining attention from the press and the community. The early 70’s saw the start of graffiti as a culture in Manhattan, New York City where artists such as TAKI 183, Julio 204, Frank 207, and Joe 136 popularized it. TAKI 183, was employed as a foot messenger and took advantage of riding the subway. The subway was the place where TAKI 183 practiced his “tagging” skills. Taki was the nickname Demetrius chose for himself and 183 was the name of the street he resided on. Taki 183 got this idea of tagging from Julio 204. Julio 204 was a Puerto Rican who was from a gang known as “Savage Skulls”. Taki 183 began tagging his name in his neighborhood as early as 1968. Juilo never got as much fame as his successor because he did not tag his name out of his...

...Problem: Crayon “graffiti” on 20th century Japanese prints by Munakata Shiko. The prints were mounted to screens, and the graffiti appeared at about 4 ft. from the ground—around the same height as a child. Unlike graffiti on a painted wall, however, crayon does not come off of printed paper quite as easily. Experiment: Mock-ups were created with Japanese paper, printed with black sumi ink, then colored over with both waxed-based and water soluble crayons. Possible solvents were chosen from the wax section on the Teas diagram and included petroleum ether, mineral spirits, toluene and xylene. These solvents were tested in three situations: Solvent on a swab A bath of water and solvent, followed by blotting of the stain Damp blotter surface with local application of moisture and solvent, followed by blotting of the stain Results: Solvents alone did not reduce crayon to a satisfactory level; mineral spirits created a transparent stain visible through the paper With the bath, it was impossible to control the amount of solvent used, but the overall result was positive Crayon was lifted locally, but also migrated along with solvents to form tidelines The ultimate solution was the use of a water-based treatment with toluene and xylene, such as that used in Experiment 2. For best results, Hsin-Chen suggested first manually reducing the graffiti with a kneaded eraser and scalpel. Lynn Brostoff, Library of Congress The Relationship Between Inherent Material Evidence...

...and is somewhat isolated from the river by the Doonella Bridge. Doonella Lake is an important part of the Noosa ecosystem because it’s gradually silting up and very shallow and so it provides ideal habitats and eating grounds for the flora and fauna. 2.0 METHODS OF RESEARCH 2.1 Primary and secondary research Primary Research Photographs: I recorded images of the native flora and fauna and took images of the local environment. Observations: I observed Lake Doonella and its many creeks. Field Sketch: I drew a sketch of the area from the perspective I could see, which included both the river and the trees/mangroves. Map: I used google maps of the Noosa Catchment to find out where it was located. Secondary Research Slide show: I used the NICA power point to find out about what they do and who does it. Websites: I used websites like the Sunshine Coast Waterways website and the NICA website to gather background information on the topic.

...The Broken Windows Research Paper Graffiti on walls, trash in the sidewalks, loitering in the corner, drunks roaming in the streets and prostitutes attracting customers on the same sidewalks children walk to school on. From a certain perspective, it is viewed as minor crime something the community shouldn’t worry about. Sooner or later though that graffiti attracts more territorial vandals fighting for dominance over the streets, probably the worst trash there is. The worst thing that will occur however is still to come, the community will no longer feel at home and feel more and more distant, the city gives an image that no one cares,(community policing, pg. 64) and the citizens will start feeling the same and feel as if everything bad can get tolerated, crime rates go up and morale goes down. However there is something that can be done, a phenomenon that will give end to this non sense and incivilities; The Broken Windows theory. The Broken Windows theory introduced by social scientist James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling states that in order to maintain control of crime in the community. Law enforcement should enforce small crimes (“petty”) in order to prevent bigger crimes from happening. Law enforcement prevents small crimes by emphasizing aggressive enforcement, sweeps, arrests, tickets, and using tactics such as directed patrol and selective enforcement. One in which you deter the crime problem by heavy policing which is usually more expensive to a department. The...

...Addison Kogami Professor Frederick Lau Music 407 23 June 2014 Hip-Hop Music This research paper will be discussing the origins and development of hip-hop music, some of the characteristics that define hip-hop as a musical genre, and the social significance of hip-hop from its creation up until current day. The purpose of this paper is to inform and enhance the understanding of hip-hop music, drawing connections between musical stylistic origins and social influence throughout history on hip-hop music to create an unbiased, accurate account of how hip-hop music came to be what it is today. The genre of hip-hop music formed in the 1970s amongst African American Groups in urban New York City, during a time when “block parties” and it’s associated music started to become extremely popular. Credited with founding hip-hop music, DJ Kool Herc, an immigrant from Jamaica, started to extend the percussive breaks in popular funk and soul music (Dyson). This new sound became so popular that DJs needed to start using two turntables to lengthen percussive breaks, effectively creating an entire new sound and new genre of music (Bekman). Hip-hop music is characterized by four main elements: rapping, scratching (DJing), break dancing, and graffiti (Chang). Because music is dynamic and constantly changing, hip-hop started to develop sub-genres within hip-hop, such as southern trap music or west coast gangsta rap. Hip-hop music in different regions started to develop their own unique...

...Why are cigarette butts littered? In the article, Whose butt is it? Tobacco industry research about smokers and cigarette butt waste, the psychology of a smoker littering the butt of a cigarette was research looked at. There had been previously done focus groups by the tobacco industry about this subject because the industry had realized that the litter was bad for business. What they found was that people littered because it was so common place that they found it to be almost acceptable. Some people in the study even said that putting a cigarette out on the ground was “conscientious” because it “eliminated the risk of fires.” Others didn’t believe or acknowledge that there was an environmental concern in tossing the butt on sidewalks or...

...Title registration for a review proposal: Broken Windows Policing to Reduce Crime in Neighborhoods Submitted to the Coordinating Group of: _X Crime and Justice __ Education __ Social Welfare __ Other Plans to co-register: _X No __ Yes __ Cochrane __ Other __ Maybe TITLE OF THE REVIEW Broken Windows Policing to Reduce Crime in Neighborhoods BACKGROUND Briefly describe and define the problem Crime policy scholars, primarily James Q. Wilson and George L. Kelling, and practitioners, such as Los Angeles Police Chief William J. Bratton, have argued for years that when police pay attention to minor offenses—such as aggressive panhandling, prostitution, and graffiti—they can reduce fear, strengthen communities, and prevent serious crime (Bratton & Kelling, 2006; Wilson & Kelling, 1982). Spurred by claims of large declines in serious crime after the approach was adopted in New York City, dealing with physical and social disorder, or “fixing broken windows,” has become a central element of crime prevention strategies adopted by many American police departments (Kelling & Coles, 1996; Sousa & Kelling, 2006). In their seminal “broken windows” article, Wilson and Kelling (1982) argue that social incivilities (e.g., loitering, public drinking, and prostitution) and physical incivilities (e.g., vacant lots, trash, and abandoned buildings) cause residents and workers in a neighborhood to be fearful. Fear causes many stable families to move out of the neighborhood and the remaining residents...

...social media platforms, but little research has been conducted with regard to students’ brand influences. Hence, the objective of this research is to explore the influence that Facebook advertising has on brand liking and preference regarding the demographics of students in Kings College of the Philippines. 2.) People want full ownership and control of their information so they can turn off access to it at any time. At the same time, people also want to be able to bring the information others have shared with them—like email addresses, phone numbers, photos and so on—to other services and grant those services access to those people’s information. These two positions are at odds with each other. There is no system today that enables me to share my email address with you and then simultaneously lets me control who you share it with and also lets you control what services you share it with. 3.) b.) Significance of the study: 1.) 2.) 3.) c.) Background of the study: Mark Zuckerberg, 23, founded Facebook while studying psychology at Harvard University. A keen computer programmer, Mr. Zuckerberg had already developed a number of social-networking websites for fellow students, including Coursematch, which allowed users to view people taking their degree, and Facemash, where you could rate people's attractiveness. In February 2004 Mr Zuckerberg launched "The facebook", as it was originally known; the name taken from the sheets of paper distributed to freshmen, profiling...
