The ‘graffiti wars’ say about social relations of inequality and power in cities is that power of the city is in the hands of the government and those higher in power. They are the one who want to have control over what rules public space and what does not. Officials have the power to put up private corporate advertising but choose to label public graffiti as disorderly or criminal. Graffiti challenges this social order and it is those from below with lower power and faced with multiple…

With always looking forward to certain times, I will never be able to appreciate what is happening today. Whether it be a countdown to: Christmas, Graduation, or till I move into college; I will not be able to look back and have fond memories if I am constantly looking into the future. With hopes of the future to come sooner, it has made me have very little memories of my past three years in high school.

As I matured I realized becoming Pablo Picasso, while not impossible, requires years to achieve. In case you are wondering, I have not yet given up on my aspiration of becoming Pablo Picasso 2.0. Instead, I decided it would be wise to think of a career path to pursue until that day arrives. While searching for…

Gaiman's refusal to assign a gender to Islington renders all…

In the 1990s then mayor of New York City Rudy Giuliani pushed the broken windows theory of crime control and made changes to the police departments accordingly.
