Wanting to make a stand for what you believe in - How badly someone can want to make a change by just one terrible incident and how someone can have this much care for a certain thing that's happening.

"We were walking past the free weights when a couple of meatheads lifting weights started laughing. One of them said loud enough for us to hear: "Look at that hot Asian chick." "They're too stuck up to go out with me," his buddy added.
I think that this passage shows Gender inequality and discrimination because when people say that about women or to them it is very degrading and it's even worse that they brought in her race because saying comments like that-
you don't know how they feel, and it could make them feel worse about themselves.
So, I think this passage shows lots of gender inequality and discrimination because they even said it loud enough so she could hear it, and have some sort of reaction. Having comments said like that could be very degrading to all people because you never know how someone feels about themselves.
"Meanwhile not far away, eight members of London's well-known DPM crew were tried in court for 1.3 million in graffiti-related damages. They were sentenced to 11 years in prison. This was the biggest prosecution for graffiti that the U.K has ever seen.
The Anti-social behavior act of 2003 defines graffiti as "painting, writing, soiling, marking, or other defacing by whatever means." Under this definition, anything from a small "tag" to a detailed mural can be considered against the law. An artist can be charged a $6,500 fine or prosecuted. But despite this clear-cut definition, there are double standards in the way graffiti is perceived. The law permits some artists to make graffiti while punishing others.
I think that this passage proves that there is getting treated differently most definitely. and I think that it is wrong to have some artists do urban graffiti but punish others for just doing the same thing. I also think that this passage shows unfairness because all the artists were doing was making "noise" in there own way and they got in trouble for speaking how they feel through art, and yes it is against the law to make graffiti art, but they (the law) should ban it for all people and not just certain people.
More Big Ideas and Universal Understandings:
Big Idea story: wanting to take a stand for what you believe in without feeling judged and how you can do that.
I think this big idea relates to the story because the main character wanted to do something about the racial graffiti drawn but she knew that if she did they could be a possibility of her and or her family getting into trouble.
Big Idea: feeling sad and or mad that these things are happening- especially in public places such as, schools, gyms, etc.
I think that this relates to the story because in the story she was mad and hurt that those comments were said but it was also in a public place were others are around meaning it could make her more frustrated are more embarrassed of herself.
Big Idea story: wanting to have a voice to use at certain times when you feel it needs to be used.
I think that this sentence also relates to the article because in the article when people use graffiti to write or draw something it could also mean that they need something to say and that is their way of expressing how they feel, and what they need to say.
Big idea story: feeling frustrated about others not caring about a incident or situation the way you do.
I think this big idea also relates to the story because in the story the main character was feeling frustrated that it felt like no one else cared as much about the matter than she did and she wanted more people to have a voice and to stand up for yourself and others when something is not right.
Big Idea article: when Graffiti began in the 1960's, people wanted to have a voice and say something so they made it public by writing or drawing how they felt.
I think that this big idea relates to the article because in the article they were talking a little bit about how some people get to make graffiti art but others can get into a lot of trouble for it which doesn't seem fair.
NOTE: I think that for the big ideas the connection between them is that people want to have a voice and talk about what they believe in and how they feel without being judged or discriminated .
How certain things are not fair to certain people and feeling mad/frustrated about these issues.
EX. Certain people don't have the chance to make the art that they want to but others are aloud to make art without getting into trouble.
EX. How certain races and genders can't go certain places without feeling ashamed and or getting harrassed by others.
Passage: "In 2013 for example, a city official glowingly described a Manchester graffiti artist as "The Next Banksy" referring to the famous graffiti artist who appears in the film, "Exit through the gift shop". The Manchester artist didn't go to jail, However, when sentencing London tagger Daniel "Tox" Halpin to jail in 2011, the prosecutor told the jury "He is no Banksy, he doesn't have the artistic skills". But this distinction for "good" and "bad" graffiti does not have a place in rulebooks."
I think that this passage shows how some people might not have the chance to show their artistic skills because either they would get in trouble for it or others are putting their art work down.
I think that this passage represents lots of gender inequality and discrimination not only against women but against races as well. Example, when those comments were made to her and about her race she got frustrated and mad which is understandable becuase it's compleatly derogatory.
