    They also perceive it as a form of vandalism. Graffiti has become a dominant part of today’s world that society should not have a problem accepting it in their culture. We as a society should stop looking at graffiti as a disruption for youth and start viewing it as an art that belongs in a gallery. According to Tracey E. Bowen in “Graffiti Art: Contemporary Study of Toronto Artist”, graffiti in the 1970’s was considered art only when it was displayed in an art gallery. (35) This is ridiculous because art is displayed all around us and they're all unique in their own individual way . Just because one person may not appreciate graffiti as a form of art work doesn’t mean that other individuals feel the same way. People may view graffiti as being wrong and illegal, and it is however the effect of graffiti is unexplainable. It can cause people all around the world to feel connected. It’s a form of expression for young children and they lean towards it because it's illegal. The young generation leans toward graffiti because it requires taking risk. And every young teenager loves taking risks because they are young and want to be heard. For example, a young man trying to meet the demands of everyday life such as paying bills, and fulfilling commitments at work or school. (Tracey E. Bowen, 35) This young man is dealing with the complications of everyday life…

    This paper discusses the cause and effects of art censorship. The National Coalition Against Censorship stated “Censorship has been around for as long as there has been creative expression; no doubt, censorship attempts will be part of our future.

As the other topics were being assigned: taxes, global warming, and state lotteries issues, I was led to anticipate the worst topic would be assigned to me. Finally, Scarbrough stated I was researching the censorship in schools and surprisingly, I was satisfied. Our school, Seaman High School, has had numerous events in the past couple years involving this issue: newspaper articles, posters around the school, and even interviews on SVTV, Seaman Vikings Television, over their opinion on the topic. This brought to my attention the amount of books that are banned from the schools with no…
