Graffiti and other wall writings are one way to make social media, and they have still a strong position in many subcultures. The graffiti is a mark for the border of some gangs area, and sometimes it tells the people, where are the parties, and who would be taken to the gangs. Graffiti is one way to make paintings. Many times there are people, who are concerning about that somebody would think of graffiti as an art, and here I must say, that making graffiti to the wall without permission is the thing, what would be punished.


Graffiti is actually an art like everything else, and it is protected by the copyright like other productive work. So that means, that introducing graffiti as the own product if it is made by some other person is violating copyright laws. And here I must say, that I haven't made the graffiti what is in this picture. But the maker would get inspiration from the Easter Islands stone heads, when this person made the graffiti, what is at the picture above the text.


There are claims, that sometimes the cleaning companies have paid to graffiti-makers, that they would make those pictures and the company would get jobs from those actions. But the graffiti is not the new thing. Even cavemen and ancient Greeks made those writings and paintings to the walls. They also made scupltures, what sometimes had the political purpose, and in that time making political graffiti could cause death penalty.


And here I must say that the youngsters were similar in ancient Greece and Roman empire as they are today. Some letters what have found from that age are telling, that some emperors were very unpopular. The letters have remained in good condition because they have been in anaerobic space, and that's why the texts could be read sometimes without any special equipment.


But when the scientists use the UV-light and photographing technology, where cameras take even thousands of pictures, what is connected to one photo, and laser scanners what separates the small risings in the paper, could even the weakest text read by scientists. And those texts would give us the good look in the regular people life in the Greek and Roman empire. Those people had similar problems as modern people, but one big difference is: they didn't have the Internet and Facebook. This is the biggest difference with modern people, and that's why the ancient people had better wealth than modern people.
