Acoustic of Art

Hypothesis:

Does art have a greater impact on the world than we think? Soul; Quoted from a great philosopher William Shakespeare, “God has given you one face, and you make yourself another.” Ever heard the quote a picture is worth a thousand words? Well is Violence comes in place with territories; also with the gang they represent. Many teens I know of are associated in gangs which lead into gang violence. Another type of violence is the thing called respect; if disrespected in your face you many want to take action just to prove something to their peers. If you know what really goes on “Behind the Art” you would not want to be in the predicament of gangs and any other minority. This is the main reason there is large accounts of violence in neighborhoods, especially in the urban “Ghetto” places. Graffiti and gangs goes hand and hand; gangs marking their territory with graffiti to show other gangs and/ or people to watch their back. Truly, being in some type of gangs is what it seems like there is much more that lies beneath. “Don’t gain the world and lose your soul, wisdom is better than silver and gold.” Quote by Bob Marley, this means do not lose you in any type of lifestyle.

Context:  

Graffiti (vandalism) has become an increasing problem. In more urban places such as New York, or even California these pieces of art work seem to appearing. I’ve pulled a few data from my peers and others who live in urban and populated environment about this matter. From what I’ve collected people in a more urban setting see more of this type of art work. 56 percent of these people claims that they don’t have a problem with graffiti; 44% of them say they do and they reason it bothers them is because it brings down property value and it also is gang affiliated so precautionary has to be put in effect everyday not only outside the home but also inside. The data I’ve gotten from the more rural places such as Loris, south Carolina and surrounding cities; 60% claims that they have not seen graffiti but 40% of the data says that they have graffiti around their neighborhood and they are gang affiliated.

Have a problem with graffiti? Urban and Rural together	No: 56% of my respondent says they don’t have a problem with graffiti.	Yes: 44% of my respondent says they do have a problem with it.
Rural Places	60% says they have not seen graffiti in their neighborhood.	40%  they have seen graffiti in their neighbor hood
urban	6% say they do not see graffiti in their neighborhood	94% say that they have seen graffiti in their neighborhood
Gang Related? Urban		All 94% says that the graffiti they see is gang related
Gang Related? Rural		All 40% say that the graffiti they seen is gang related

Data Analysis: I found that in the more urban places such as New York sees more graffiti plastered on their walls than urban. I think this is so because there are more people in the more urban places than there is in rural places and all different types of minorities are colliding together. I also collected that those who see graffiti they have realized that it is gang related. gangs use this type of art to show who owns which territories, it’s like an marking on what gang you should watch out for when in that neighborhood.

Conclusion: the hypothesis I have conducted was correct to a certain extinct. Art does have a greater impact on the world than we think; graffiti has a impact on or safety, our home, even our lives. How is this you may ask? Well graffiti is more associated with gangs than any other thing. I know it is an expression of life and what is going on but it also has a negative effect on the world around us. Graffiti takes money and man power to remove to save property value. Also having graffiti around marks the territories of powerful gangs that do cares if you’re from the east side, north side, northeastern, etc. I do agree with my hypothesis but I think that I could’ve put the question do you know any gang related deaths.
