Graffiti as Learning: Psychological Insights into Unconventional Education | Chapter 4 | Walls That Teach: Graffiti, Education and the Pedagogy of Resistance

 

This chapter is a conceptual study which explores graffiti not merely as vandalism but as a noteworthy, albeit unconventional, mode of education and personal development. It digs into several psychological theories to unpack how the creation and interpretation of graffiti can promote learning, especially for students and groups operating outside formal educational contexts. The chapter assesses how identity formation theories illuminate graffiti's role in self-expression and the claiming of identity, especially among adolescents. The social learning theory is applied to comprehend the transmission of skills, values, and norms within graffiti subcultures, while the sociocultural theory outlines graffiti as a cultural tool for meaning-making and socially mediated learning within distinctive contexts. Furthermore, the chapter reviews the constructivist learning theory, revealing how both creators and viewers actively build understanding and interpretation of their environment through graffiti. It also examines graffiti's potential for critical pedagogy, empowering marginalised voices to contest prevailing narratives and engage in social criticism. Finally, principles related to art therapy are deliberated to appreciate the emotional expression and transformative potential built into the act of creating graffiti. By blending these psychological perspectives, the chapter argues for a nuanced awareness of graffiti as a complex phenomenon that can provide deep learning experiences related to identity, community, critical consciousness, and voice, urging a review of its place in discussions of informal and non-formal education. This theoretical examination offers professionals a robust, theoretically reinforced framework for re-contextualising graffiti from a problem of vandalism to a prospective avenue for informal education and personal development.

A Review of the Recent Advances in the Surgical Treatment of Longstanding Facial Paralysis | Chapter 09 | Recent Developments in Medicine and Medical Research Vol. 16

 Facial paralysis affects people of all ages and has far-reaching functional and psychological implications. Surgical therapy is the sole choice in some circumstances, and it is a huge problem for the facial reconstructive surgeon. The goal of this book chapter was to examine current surgical care principles for this difficult patient population. Various surgical procedures and techniques, as well as reported outcomes, were described. Despite the fact that various parameters regulating neuron regeneration have been identified, their regulation still results in unpredictably functioning results. The primary limitations in terms of time and technique decision making remain to be unreliable result prediction and a lack of standardised outcome metrics. Our current study shows that the variations in outcome results are still unclear, and more research is needed.

A Review on Psychological and Social Stigma on Sexually Transmitted Diseases | Chapter 11 | New Visions in Science and Technology Vol. 6

 Even with a high degree of measures in place to combat sexually transmitted infections, sexually transmitted diseases continue to be a top cause of death around the world. Sexually Transmitted Diseases have a wide range of reasons that result in complications, psychological effects, social stigma, and early mortality. People are stigmatised psychologically and socially as a result of a lack of self-awareness, information about transmission, prevention and early identification, counselling, and treatment. We should also raise public awareness about the prevention, early treatment, and screening options accessible to people by reaching out to people in both urban and rural areas, as well as the educated and uneducated, young and elderly. People should be educated or counselled about sexually transmitted diseases in order to reduce the psychological and social stigma associated with them. The goal of this review article is to give us insight into how to remove psychological and social stigmas that people face as a result of a lack of self-awareness, understanding about transmission, prevention and early detection, counselling, and treatment.
