For an example one has a n account on i think whatsApp and she would like to put an emoji that pertains to her and she cante because they dont have any women with headscarfs on there. They talk abot how the emojis are getting better with adding different skin tones, hair color and women and men working jobs.]]> 2016-09-20 16:09:35 UTC https://padlet.com/poyner/lhsnews092016/wish/125141515 https://padlet.com/poyner/lhsnews092016/wish/125144821 Rather than just mentioning how it could be used for only muslim women the new emoji could be used for other nationalities "In her proposal, Rayouf focused on the demand for a headscarf emoji among Muslim women and in Muslim-majority countries. However, she hopes that the emoji will be used for other reasons, too." This is from the sixteenth paragraph in which the journalist also quotes her saying how the emoji could be alternatively used.]]> 2016-09-20 16:16:54 UTC https://padlet.com/poyner/lhsnews092016/wish/125144821 https://padlet.com/poyner/lhsnews092016/wish/125147850 Admittedly, although unjustly, Islam has become something of a controversial topic. This article could easily have been offensive or volatile, but was instead kept safe by the author steering pretty well clear of religious debate. The article focuses on the importance of emoji representation in today's media-based society, keeping the whole thing on a more innocuous plane. By mentioning the other reasons besides being Muslim why the general population might appreciate a headscarf emoji, the author maintains a global  viewpoint.  ]]> 2016-09-20 16:23:33 UTC https://padlet.com/poyner/lhsnews092016/wish/125147850 https://padlet.com/poyner/lhsnews092016/wish/125148061 The journalist took this volatile subject and maintained the focus by really having readers focus in on how the Muslim teen took steps to persuade companies to an emoji with a headscarf like she wished. Although the writer told why the teen felt the way she did, they kept the focus on getting the emoji itself. ]]> 2016-09-20 16:23:58 UTC https://padlet.com/poyner/lhsnews092016/wish/125148061 k_larrick98 https://padlet.com/poyner/lhsnews092016/wish/125148214 The author gives the article a "global" view by mentioning that the Hijab emoji would not just represent Muslim women. The author mentions that in "Christianity and Judaism, (people) also wear headscarves." By the author mentioning this they have given the article a broader spectrum on the situation.]]> 2016-09-20 16:24:20 UTC https://padlet.com/poyner/lhsnews092016/wish/125148214 https://padlet.com/poyner/lhsnews092016/wish/125568250 The Journalist takes a volatile subject and maintains the focus of the article that addresses a "global" view in many ways.  The excerpt "However, she hopes that the emoji will be used for other reasons, too. She pointed out that some women in other religions, including parts of Christianity and Judaism, also wear headscarves,". This is an example that shows clearly that this would be good for both non-Muslim and Muslim women. ]]> 2016-09-21 21:36:55 UTC https://padlet.com/poyner/lhsnews092016/wish/125568250 https://padlet.com/poyner/lhsnews092016/wish/125901054 The author takes this subject and made this article with careful intentions. Rather than focusing on what this teen believes in and practices, the author focuses on her plan to feel more apart of modern society. For example, the author breifly describes why head scarves are worn and what purpose they serve and then reiterates the teen's reasoning of why she wants to have an emoji that represents her. ]]> 2016-09-23 02:21:18 UTC https://padlet.com/poyner/lhsnews092016/wish/125901054 k_larrick98 https://padlet.com/poyner/lhsnews092016/wish/126040427 The author presents A around the globe view on the emoji's ]]> 2016-09-23 15:03:58 UTC https://padlet.com/poyner/lhsnews092016/wish/126040427 https://padlet.com/poyner/lhsnews092016/wish/126137064 The journalist makes the article global by showing that emojis are used world wide, which includes Muslim countries. The author does this by listing all of these different sites and or sources that are popular and widely used. "In 2015, Oxford Dictionaries even made the "facing crying tears of joy" it's word of the year."  "One of the founders of Reddit, a popular website supports her idea."]]> 2016-09-23 21:47:47 UTC https://padlet.com/poyner/lhsnews092016/wish/126137064 https://padlet.com/poyner/lhsnews092016/wish/126182499 The author a lot in this uses other peoples thoughts rather than his to explain the problems and what can be done about it. The reason he does that is cause people sometimes talking go off.]]> 2016-09-24 21:29:42 UTC https://padlet.com/poyner/lhsnews092016/wish/126182499
