In this research we want to highlight the moral, social and cultural effects of graffiti. Graffiti is most commonly known as a form of vandalism, where misfit youth takes over public spaces with gang signs and large pictures made with spray paint. In the 21st century it has evolved into a professional art form that is admired across the world. Today we see that graffiti is an art form where people can express their feelings and thoughts that are able to leave a long lasting impression on a city. This often borders on vandalism when done on private or public property. Graffiti provides a voice for people in society who also want to be heard. Often in some third world countries the media is not allowed to portray what is really going on in the country. Graffiti then becomes the number one way to express their feelings and emotions, as well as let the world know what is really going on.
