"From the 1970's to the present, murals have offered images of residents demonstrating, raised fist and picket signs that demand solutions for pressing problems." (Neruda 3)
Residents of many areas are always trying to be heard within their communities and they are looking for a way to become a larger contributor to the place they live. The act of painting a mural provides the muralist a way to make the community a a better a place for them to live because everyday they are able to look at the beliefs they are able to bring to the community and how they were able to bring it to them. There are multiple studies that show when the physical structure of a community the people find more of a kinship with the community and are often looking for more ways to better their community. Murals represent the way the community is feeling. I think that it is beneficial that after years the mural tend to fade away because the problems or expression that are put on the wall the people are often not able to relate to them as time goes on.

After all the reading that we have done I'm am looking at the perspectives and am wishing that we would have had an other perspective. I feel as though the readings all reiterated the same ideas and stated the same argument;" the Education system is not working and its all the governments fault because of inequalities within social classes" I think that this is partially true but to place blame on one certain entity dose not take the responsibility f ones self. In a democracy people take action for what they believe and find different ways to change those problems. Within the education system I think it is important that all the members;students teachers, super attendants and so, take ownership for the results of the education system to try to provoke change.
Making a mural is one way to draw attention the the problems or even to the beauty but it dose not change the situation. it is our responsibility as a Democratic people to actively engage with our beliefs of what is right. It is also important that each person take responsibility for their actions and find a path that works for them. We have seen countless examples of support systems for the education system and it is important that each person look for the right path for them, instead of expecting it to be handed to them.
