Discussion Questions for 9/12/14

1. Though Mrs. Keri Smith makes a point that the art may be "beautifying" the area, is it worth the legal risk? Is it ethical to leave your mark on something (like a building) owned by another just because you want to be an artist? Is this protected by our First Amendment rights?
2. Is "Guerrilla Art" a legitimate tool for spreading Social Justice? 
3. In 1984 by George Orwell, the Thought Police exist to ensure everyone stays in line with party ideals and to get rid of those who seem to go against the Party and Big Brother. Are we on this path? If so, can we get off it?
4.  Today, educators and thinkers seem to focus more on the individual and how they feel on an issue instead of the group or the whole; evidence of which can be seen in both Smith's book and Harrington's article. Is this focus a good thing for modern society or a bad thing? How does this hinder or help Social Justice?
