Graffiti Is Wrong

Decent Essays
Even though some people think graffiti is right, it is wrong and illegal. Although people who don't get caught tells people they don't get caught then he gets more people. If more get caught more get scared if more get scared they stop. Graffiti to some people is all about disproportionate and it needs to stop. It is not right to do that especially to someone else's property. Say a guy bought a mansion by this guys house who loved graffiti. The neighbor had to go to a place and left his house gate unlocked. The man snuck in there and sprayed painted something not applicable on the walls. The mansion owner gets fined or arrested because of that. It is not right and is not nice. Graffiti is illegal. If it is illegal then it is wrong just don't

Published in the Herald Sun on the 21st of January in 2014, Leonie Burke’s article, Time to Attack Graffiti discusses this problematic situation.

It is a tool to…

By fixing the graffiti problem and keeping the trains well maintained, people will stop getting the impression that it is alright to vandalize them. The overall cultural change in that case would urge people to follow the new rule. As they see newly cleaned trains and their work constantly being washed off or…
