Activity 4Reading / WritingThis is the article Chamindu’s sister found on vandalism. Read it and do theactivities that follow.VANDALISM /vændəlizəm/Vandalism is an offence that is causedwhen a person deliberately destroys,alters or defaces someone else's propertywithout permission. It is mostly aimed atpublic property such as public transportservices, bus stops, parks, road signs and other public places. It can also occur atindividual level too such as scratching someone’s car or distorting the information on aperson’s website.Among many reasons, personal attitudes and basic social problems are at the root ofvandalism. It may occur because of a lack of meaningful activities, disciplinary problems,and negative feelings such as revenge, boredom, anger, and frustration. It can be theresult of peer group pressure, playfulness, curiosity and pleasure too. Although mostvandals do not have a clear motive for their acts, and may consider it as a simple actof fun or art. However, it is a punishable crime with imprisonment, monetary fines, orboth as laws exist in a country to prevent vandalism.Certain effects of vandalism are considered insignificant while others are consideredextremely severe. However, it is a problem that affects everyone in some way or other.For free distribution3
It can affect one’s family, friends, and thecommunity. When facilities, such as publictransport services, parks and public restroomsare vandalized, it makes using such placesunpleasant and demoralizing. As a result ofvandalism, fire and emergency services areaffected by increased workloads. Citizens of acountry pay their taxes in order to build a bettercommunity for the future generation. But whenpublic property is vandalized, they are the oneswho have to pay for the damage.There are different approaches that can be taken to prevent vandalism. It can bedone by educating individuals, especially the young people about its consequences andnature. Another way to prevent vandalism is to use property designs such as ceramictiles on walls which are easy to clean. In addition, rough textured surfaces wherescrawling with graffiti is impossible,reduce vandalistic behaviour inpublic places. An essential approachto reducing vandalism is to monitorthe condition of a property regularly.Studies reveal that vandalism carriedout by individuals of all ages increases when people think they are left out fromthe society or community. Thus, involvement in community activities can encouragea sense of belonging and pride which will help them to respect and think positivelyabout their community. Everyone should understand the duties and responsibilitiesof a citizen and decide what is right and what is wrong. Therefore, in preventingvandalism, self-discipline plays a bigger role than laws.4For free distribution
