GRAFFITI
i think people's first impressions when they look at graffiti are inaccurate. Graffiti can fit into many of the 7 functions that we talked about in class: personal, interactional, imaginative, heuristic, and informative. Graffiti comes in all various languages and can be seen around the world, mainly in the larger cities. In NYC, it is painted all around subways and buildings which can be said to be vandalism; however, it does give people something to look at while driving and expresses people's character.

I could not agree more with Jess. I think that graffiti is an art form. I think that those that think that they are vandalists don't see the effort and creativity within it. I think that it takes alot of thought behind it and that it relates to what we were talking about today because it has the ability to give a person a voice, a sense of individuality. I believe that there is an importance in being able to express yourself in whatever way possible.
