Graffiti/street art Presentation
Graffiti began in the 1960s in Philadelphia and New York as people began tagging messages and names to honor a musician who had passed away. Over time, graffiti evolved from simple vandalism to a more artistic form as taggers spent more time developing their styles. Supporters argue that graffiti can be used to spread political messages or beautify dull areas when done legally by artists. However, critics argue that graffiti often costs taxpayers significant money to remove and that even illegal graffiti can encourage other crimes by signaling that vandalism will not be punished. The debate continues over whether graffiti is a positive art form or merely destructive vandalism.
Graffiti Presentation
Graffiti began in the 1960s in Philadelphia and New York as tags to honor a musician, but soon became more about vandalism and getting messages across. People began widely tagging their names on public transportation in New York in the 1970s. Authorities worked to remove graffiti from trains, pushing artists to tag walls and other public places instead. Supporters argue graffiti can be used for political messages or to beautify areas, while critics argue it is costly vandalism that can encourage other crimes.
Pros and cons of graffiti and street art
The document discusses the history and perspectives of graffiti and street art. It notes that graffiti originated in Philadelphia in the late 1960s started by two artists named Cornbread and Cool Earl. Street art later branched off from graffiti. The document outlines pros and cons of both graffiti and street art from artistic expression to costs of removal to negative influences. It profiles some influential figures in graffiti history like Taki 183 and Shepard Fairey. Facts are given showing most common graffiti targets in the UK.

Street art or graffiti
This document discusses the differences between graffiti and street art. While both involve placing art in public spaces rather than galleries, graffiti writers primarily want to communicate with other writers, whereas street artists want the public to view and engage with their work. Graffiti focuses more on "tagging" with spray paint or markers to mark territory, while street art uses symbolic imagery and techniques like stencils or posters to convey conceptual messages to viewers. The intention of engaging the public is the main distinction between graffiti writers and street artists.

Presentation
Modern graffiti began in Philadelphia in the 1960s after the death of jazz musician Charlie Parker. In the 1970s, the center of graffiti culture shifted to New York City as writers like TAKI 183 and Tracy 168 began using their street numbers in their tags and bombing subway trains, allowing their work to spread across the city. Street artists challenge definitions of art by situating their work in non-art contexts and questioning the existing environment in its own language rather than aiming to change what art is.

History of Graffiti
Graffiti began in New York in the 1960s as single hitting and was done predominantly by Puerto Ricans and African-Americans from poor, inner-city neighborhoods. In the late 1980s, graffiti was forced to transform as cities built secure train yards and enacted stricter laws in response to graffiti on subway cars. Most artists then took their art to the streets, though some began painting freight trains, losing a vital part of graffiti culture.

It begins in the late 1960s with the emergence of "tagging" in New York City, where writers began proliferating their tags across subway systems to communicate and compete.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
