Why Graffiti is a problem? In the book At The Glance Crispher Grant in his story “graffiti talking: take a closer look”. Graffiti is any kind of drawing, writing or symbol that taggers (a name given to people who graffiti) use to put on peoples properties without them knowing. Graffiti could be something beautiful instead of looking at it, or thinking it is disgrace. Christopher’s suggestion is that one of the first steps is to educate the public about the graffiti. It’s meaning and its potential impact on a community. The community must understand this kind of behavior cannot be accepted because its dangerous nature threatens communities from within to discourage new graffiti. It is a serious crime and offenders will be punished and the student should be aware of that. Instructor should encourage an alternative method of self-expression. Graffiti done for art, poster, or even making a territory. My suggestion is, if the graffiti a gang signature, it is then related to violence in some way. Graffiti has a serious economic as well as psychological consequence in neighborhoods. In order to deal with graffiti, every one needs to be involved. Law enforcement alone cannot do the job. Dealing with graffiti must team effort involving law enforcement, city. Another way to prevent and clean the city from graffiti, they should paint and remove the graffiti immediately; this will help prevent more graffiti. Last and not least, people do graffiti for many reasons. There is always reason behind this illegal act. It is sometimes an outlet to their artistic ability, or maybe there are marking a territory. It is mean they are in some ort of gang. Graffiti isn’t bad, as it seems.

    When Fowler first meets Pyle he involuntarily likes him. He is quiet (unlike most of the Americans that Fowler comes into contact with), thoughtful, and naive. Pyle’s intentions in Vietnam are ernest: “He was determined – I learned very soon – to do good, not to any individual person, but to a country, a continent, a world.” (Greene 32) Pyle is obsessed with an author called York Harding, an American who writes about the virtues of democracy and especially about a “third force” in Vietnam. The third force would be a native army fighting for democracy. Later in the book it becomes obvious that though Pyle’s intentions are invariably good, he isn’t self aware and is consequentially destructive. At one point Fowler converses with Pyle: “I’ve been to India, Pyle, and I know the harm liberals do. We haven’t a liberal party anymore – liberalism’s infected all the other parties. We are all either liberal conservatives or liberal socialists; we all have a good conscience. I’d rather be an exploiter who fights for what he exploits, and dies with it. Look at the history of Burma. We go and invade the country; the local tribes support us; we are victorious; but like you Americans we weren’t colonialists in those days. Oh no, we made peace with the king and we handed him back his province and left our allies to be crucified and sawn in two. They were innocent. They though we’d stay. But we were liberals and we didn’t want a bad conscience.” (121) In that situation there is no doubt that Pyle is the liberal. His actions are all selfishly motivated because they all serve to qualm his own ideals, his own moral standards; he never stops to see the concrete results of his actions. Though Pyle’s blind belief in an ideal is at first endearing (if mildly annoying), he goes too far when he plants a bomb in a crowded market in Saigon at the bequest of General The, who he believes is the “third force”. Fowler is initially livid at Pyle for causing the deaths, but after berating him…

    What will happen if United States declare its official language as English? Will the country continue to accept immigrants afterward? It will probably be the end of the long history of the immigration in the country. It will need additional one or two generations to fully shift their languages to English. What about the legal U.S. citizens immigrated to this country and have continued to use their mother language until today? Do they have to switch their language to English regardless of their own long history in this country? Why do they have to do so? Additionally, it will have to solve numerous problems related to the issue of multilingualism in order to be monolingual. Rejecting to be multilingual will mean in rejecting to be America. Immigrants do not need to shift their language to English as quickly as possible, yet their culture and language should be treated with respect and integrated rather than assimilated into American society.…

    “The lottery” is a story that begins describing a village. The first descriptions that took my attention were “flowers were blossoming profusely” and “the grass was richly green”. After describing the village it passes to what people are doing. It says that they are getting together for an event, which is the lottery. All the heads of the family, who were men, had to drawn for their family. This had been going since before the oldest man in the village was born. We don’t really know the reason of this lottery until we get to the part where Old Man Warner starts mocking the young people around the other villages, who had stopped doing the lottery. He says “Used to be saying about ‘Lottery in June, corn be heavy soon.’ This shows that that’s their tradition of getting heavier fields with corn, and their tradition was to stone one person for everyone else to be happy.…

    Bang! The gun rang throughout the glistening Olympic stadium in Sydney. Marion Jones claimed her first gold in the 100m dash. After the exciting two week competition ended, three gold medals and two bronze medals glimmered around the neck of the beautiful and gifted athlete, Marion Jones. Everything seemed to click that year for the three-time Olympic champion, but her tremendous performances led critics to question whether she had used performance-enhancing drugs. After denying any allegation of taking illegal substances, in 2007, Marion Jones announced the she “unknowingly” took performance-enhancing drugs in 2000 and 2001. Along with the five medals, her pride and respect were infamously ripped from her. After gaining legendary status at the Sydney Olympics in 2000, similar to Hester Prynne in the Scarlet Letter, Marion Jones was shunned from society after admitting that she unknowingly took performance-enhancing drugs.…

    “Graffiti is writing or drawings scribbled, scratched, or sprayed illicitly on a wall or other surface in a public place “, says Wikipedia. This kind of drawing exists since human started drawing. Examples of first graffiti drawing were found in the walls of Pompeii and Catacombs of Rome, and considered as an art form. However, modern graffers usually are being sent to jail for drawing on public walls. Graffiti is not an art form anymore, now it’s a crime. If you ask people around you if they think graffiti is an art or vandalism, you can find out that there is no equal division between for and against answers. Moreover, there are people who will consider graffiti as an art and as a crime in the same time, depending on where those were drawn. Graffiti itself is an art form, though. It is the fact that is drawn in the properties of others without permissions that makes graffiti considered as vandalism. There are some evidences that prove that graffiti is an art form, such us: its own unique features, its division into different forms of art- drawing and writing, and its own particular meaning.…
