To me graffiti is a way for the writer to express himself in a different way.
There are people that confuse tags with graffiti. Those people associate tags and graffiti with crime or vandalism.
I think a tag is actually an act of vandalism, because a tag is nothing more than the signature of the writer himself or a short word, and there is nothing in it I could call nice.
Graffiti is different: it is art, a means of expression, way different from tags.

This is a widely spoken subject nowadays.
In my opinion, graffiti can be both a crime and an art. It depends. To me, graffiti isn't a crime, but an art. But there are people who just want to vandalise the walls of our town, and of course this shouldn't be done in some places. There should be specific places for the people to do it and for us to enjoy this kind of work.
I like graffiti and in the future I would like someone to teach me how to do it.
Graffiti: Art o
r crime? That’s not an easy question to answer. Most people think that graffiti is a pure act of vandalism, but things are not just like that.
It really is art, but writers (people who produce graffiti art), do not have specific areas to practise it. There are few countries where graffiti is legal.
I consider that it’s an art, depending on the place where it is made, like old buildings or places like that. I think there’s no problem in making a good graffiti there. But writers often just think of spreading their art all over the city, that’s why graffiti should be made legal and appreciated by everyone. If there were places for the graffiti writers to create their art, there wouldn’t be such a high tax of vandalism right now.
I like graffiti and I think it should be legalized.
“The history of streetstyle is a history of tribes"

- Street style is a history of tribes, because every group of people has a distinctive style of dressing and decoration.
There are various tribes in the world, zooties, hippies, etc. and each of it has its own style.
Street style isn’t a specific style, because there are several styles and nobody can really say one is the actual street style.

- We don’t agree with that idea, because it is not the type of clothes we wear that shows the way we think, our true personality. The way people think doesn’t influence the way people dress and their moral thinking.

"The Punks who dyed their hair green or even the hippies who let their hair grow long at a time when short hair was the norm were risking a great deal - job prospects, family harmony, verbal and sometimes even physical abuse. To adopt the look of a particular styletribe is to put oneself on the firing line. But if this brings a sense of group solidarity and comradeship, then, for many, it is worth it."
I was asked to comment on a certain part of a text we have read in the English class today. I have chosen to write about this part, and I agree with it. At that time, being 'not normal' was almost a crime, people risked a lot just to show their ideas on the world they lived in, and they never thought twice about that, because they didn't care about the consequences as long as they tried, at least, to tell everyone the truth about what they thought about society, discrimination, war, people that were not really living their lives. They wanted everyone to know that. I also think that "group solidarity and comradeship" is worth a lot, but I have to disagree when the author says that that is the reason why they did it...

“The teenager steps out of the parental family into a social vacuum”
Until they are 11-12-year olds, youngsters usually hang out with their family. When they grow up they start feeling a need to step out of it. Sometimes they get into a social vacuum. Sometimes they step into many types of relationships, some bad some good…
The idea of being with friends, doing what you usually do and like, is prior to the idea of being with your parents.
That’s why teenagers step out of their parental family into their own social circle.
