Essay / What is graffiti and how does it affect the daily lives of young people...
First, graffiti is very practical to create. Young people don't need to know any rules to succeed. However, for example, in music, you have to learn a lot of notes. In graffiti, young people can do graffiti without any literary knowledge. Additionally, graffiti is practical because of its cost. Doing graffiti is very cheap. Young people just need spray paints which cost three or five lira. Secondly, doing graffiti is so creative. In graffiti, you can imagine anything so that you don't have to rely on a rigid opinion for your own graffiti. Although this structure of graffiti creates a certain contradiction in the meaning of graffiti, it is not so important to young people. They generally care about the unlimited, the development of their creativity, graffiti. For example, during the Gezi Park protests, during which young people made many graffiti to protest against the government, the young people had the same goal but their graffiti had so many different opinions. Young people just wanted to do something to protest the government, whether their graffiti reflected their goals or not.
