Graffiti. Good or Bad?

What is your opinion on graffiti? Is it good or bad?

Remember the definition of graffiti.

Graffiti (singular: graffito; the plural is used as a mass noun) is the name for images or lettering scratched, scrawled, painted or marked in any manner on property. Graffiti is any type of public markings that may appear in the forms of simple written words to elaborate wall paintings.

Depends on what use graffiti on? If you use graffiti for painting something but not on public property then its fine.

everyone, you must note, graffiti, in itself is an art form. people have become professional street artists and earned a lot of money. there are people however, the rebellious teenagers, who graffiti on public places and they are doing it against the law. professional street artists, on the other hand are doing it with authorization. therefore, graffiti is not bad, the people who are doing it illegally are the ones to blame.

also, if the community accepts graffiti and parents allow their children to develop their interest in it, they can become proffesional artists. From being youngsters who graffitied against the law, they can now be highly payed professional street artists who are doing what they enjoy but in the right way.

personally, I think that graffiti, being a type of expression, should be legal. Don't we have free expression as a right? Granted by the Constition? If I am correct, it should be legal anyway. So what's the problem? Even if it's against the law, people will do it. It's art. We are artists and will do whatever we have to to express ourselves through art. Even if all we have are some paint cans and a blank wall. I mean, what's more eye cathing than bright neon colours on a grey wall? Most graffiti, I find inspiring. I mean, that person came up with all that covers that wall and makes it beautiful. Graffiti is and art form that I find beautiful, inspiring, and spellbinding.

i think graffiti is a great way of expressing someones feelings into art form! it teaches us how some people see the world in their eyes and some graffiti even makes us stop and think. Graffiti is known now as a form of art, but i can also agree that some sort of graffiti is vandalism, like teenagers tagging their names on other peoples property for example, that is obviously being put there as a hate symbol, a way of disrispecting others, but also there are people out there that spray graffiti on walls to make us think, or make a boring old wall a piece of art. We know of many graffiti artists like banksy for example, some people may like his work but some may not, we all have opinions and in my opinion graffiti is great!!!!!

Convincing argument Eric, however graffiti is still considered illegal and is not right in this context.

It depends on whose property it is. If it's on my property then I'd be pissed, but if it's on the graffitiers (if that's even a word) then it's okay. Sometimes those things look pretty cool.

So you are arguing with our side. Therefore, he clearly concedes and that proves that Graffiti is clearly a good thing if somebody arguing it is bad even admits that it is okay and "pretty cool".

Not necessarily. It's bad in the sense that I don't want it on my property or on any property owned by someone that hasn't specified they want it (eg. gang related graffiti on someone's home, or hate symbols on someone's home), but I don't think all graffiti should be completely outlawed. If a business hires someone to graffiti their building to make a point or just for the looks, it's not bad.

And that is the problem with graffiti — it is “unauthorized”, as the dictionary says, and it destroys someone's property. It is a crime, like stealing, because it steals the property owner's right to have their own property look clean and nice. And it makes repairs costly for the property owner; graffiti scribblers never offer to pay the cost of repairing their destruction, which may cost thousands of dollars. Would a graffiti vandal want you coming into his or her house or apartment and smash down the front door because you thought the place would look better without a door? Of course not. Yet a graffiti vandal can cost a property owner much more than the cost of a door. It can cost hundreds or thousands of dollars in repair bills, or lower the property's value by thousands of dollars — just with one mindless scribble acIf you do graffiti on the streets it is vandalism and is against the law. It can also cost the government loads of money to paint over the graffiti. Graffiti can also get you into stealing stuff cause all of the supplies costs so much money. Graffiti can even put you in jail for a long time. Those are some ways graffiti can be bad. ross a fence or wall.

Graffiti sometimes have bad or harmful chemicals inside the spray, some of them can cause blood clots or even cardiac arrest. Many Graffiti artists have perished because of this health issue.

although it might look good or funny, graffiti is usually indecent to put up in any place. so it is also considered bad for the society.

People think graffiti is a work of art, but it's a crime for the following reasons:

1. They paint on walls and property that are not theirs to decorate.

2. The owners often have to pay to get rid of this.

3. Many people's opinions are against graffiti

4. it's illegal in many areas

5. It destroys whatever natural essence there is to a neighbourhood

Vandalism is a crime. It is the act of marking premises or other property without permission. It destroys people’s properties and you will have to pay a fine if you do it. That money you use to pay the fine can be used for something more useful. Graffiti is associated with littering, loitering and illegal behavior.

Graffiti is a more creative form of art and if done on the right places it can be a good beautiful painting but it also could be offencive and can incorrectly influence young children that might see it. Graffiti can be beautiful and creative but it is illegal to be done on private property or on buildings unless payed to do it as a decoration in a restaurant.

How can any form of vandalism be good? Vandals destroy property - both public and personal - often with gang insignia and obscenities.
