Show Me Your Graffiti and I'll Tell You Who You Are.

“Some people become cops because they want to make the world a better place. Some people become vandals because they want to make the world a better looking place.”
-Banksy
Graffiti shows more than illustrations plastered on walls. It tells alot about changes in customs and attitudes (Stocker et al., 1972). For instance, graffiti can reflect the attitude and values on main cultural themes. The image above clearly sends the message of love and peace as compared to the image below.
Throughout many areas in P.O.S which seemed a little too sketchy to enter, there were lots of homosexual writings and political slogans. These writings show the attitude of the individuals responsible for these acts and what they think of various issues popular in Trinidad.
