Answer 1

Answer:

In the book "The Gift", by the sociologist Marcel Mauss, we can see helpful theory start to answer this question. "The Gift" theory came to put lot society’s phenomena in fluxes perspective; these fluxes are built in two ways, and, firstly, explain some material exchange. Works of art, images, and religious objects and the construction - or destruction - of temples and other big investments can found in that fluxes. The graffiti can show up in that how a mark, some indication from a different social class, some indication of protection. The graffiti, in that way can be a mark from a different group in to some big "gift" way, inserting different social classes - separated by resources or by time - in the "gift" fluxes.
