The graffiti on the left, speaks out about the rich versus the poor. In the graffiti there is a couple who is enjoying their lives, sitting on a rickshaw ran by a poor little boy. In this picture the boy is refered to be a poor, who has to do extremely rough duties to survive from his weekdays.
It is sad to see in this picture how some people may just enjoy themsel, while one is suffering. Like in this graffiti, the couple has dressed up in nice clothes and the man has expensive phone in use, whereas little boy has barely any property.
Graffiti's social function is to make people consider, how rough life may be in some areas in the world. Some people are suffering every day, whereas some other are just wasting their money for some unnecessary stuff. Like in this picture, the man has expensive phone in his use, while the kid has barely anything. Impact on this picture is to understand, that people should respect things they have and be happy about their life. There are always people whose life isn't self-evidence.
This second graffiti "Because I'm worthless" takes a stance on how some people are treated like trush in community. As in the picture, there is drawn a rat and it refers how some people think they are treated. They may think they are as worthless as rats in the community because of the text above the rat. Its political view is to indicate to people that there is poverty in the community and it has problems in offering good life for everyone. People in that community may feel unhappiness and think they don't have any good reason to live because of the circumstances.
It looks like, that the graffiti has being painted onto public wall and therefore its audience is all of its passers-by. Especially the young adults, who understand gratti's context. Impact on this graffiti is to make people think how much poverty is in the community. People who really start to think graffiti's function may consider if there is anything to do for it.
These two different genres are basically considering the same issue, poor circumstances. Only the context is different. In the first graffiti, where the couple enjoys for the ride, it takes a stance more on world's poverty. While the second graffiti, is more about one specific community. One big difference between these two graffities, is that the second picture has being painted onto wall, whereas the first one has only drawn as an indoor picture.
