Introduction and Literature Review Emoticons are typographical signs or constructs that are used to communicate an expression based on a general human emotion [e.g. :-) for happiness] or convey a message to be deciphered from a specific perspective [e.g. _/\_ for hands together in prayer] (Baron, 2009; Salló, 2011). Salló (2011) elaborates on this by defining these signs as “icons [that] are meant to express some kind of human feeling” (p. 309). Baron (2009) traces the history of “expression markers” or emoticons to 1982 when Carnegie Mellon professor Scott Fahlman first suggested and used :-) in online communication to suggest a specific emotion -- in this case, happiness -- conveyed in or accompanying a message. Since emoticons’ introduction, designers have created graphic versions of the faces and other objects or gestures originally presented with typography. …show more content…

Behaviors often associated with extraverts include fluent communication, ease in making new friends, and participation in group activities such as parties (p.47). Extroverts also direct their focus on people and objects as they are used to social environments, unlike introverts who prefer to “listen and reflect” (Lu & Hsiao, 2010, p.152). In the field of psychology, extraversion is identified as one of the five broad dimensions of the Five-Factor Model of Personality, along with agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism and openness to experience (McCrae & John,

Extroverts can be some of the best people you meet. They have plenty to offer and thrive at the attention of others. However, being introverted can be just as great. In a society where being extroverted is the ideal, it can be very difficult to be an introvert. Susan Cain argues in her Ted Talk, “The Power of Introverts”, that introverts can share many brilliant ideas with the world and should be encouraged and celebrated for who they are.

Jenna Wortham challenges negative views of digital communication by arguing “In my experience, however, I’ve found the opposite to be true, especially as more and more of my daily interactions with friends, colleagues and family happen through a screen. If anything, the pervasiveness of technology in my life has heightened my desire for actual one-on-one meetings” (396). Wortham is describing how texting has enhanced her relationships with others. This is because it makes it far easier for her to make plans and communicate with her friends and family when she isn’t with them. Texting is almost like a tease to actually being together, in her eyes it makes her want to talk to and spend time with someone even more.

Although commonly associated with Nazism, the Gammadion Cross, otherwise known as the Swastika, was not always known for hatred, racism, and fascism (Alexander). The Swastika’s origin comes from multiple old world religions and societies that state the symbol was a sign of good fortune (Alexander). This an example of how readily the original meaning of a symbol can change over time. In the Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, Hester Prynne, a Puritan woman of the seventeenth century, wears the iconic scarlet letter A as her punishment for committing adultery and bearing an illegitimate child.

I choose to do a piece of art inspired by Alphabet/Good Humor, a sculpture by Claes Oldenburg. Oldenburg’s Alphabet/Good Humor (Fig. 1) is a large Popsicle shaped sculpture, formed by fleshy pink bubble letters. At almost twelve feet tall, the piece, made of painted fiberglass and bronze, has a playful, almost charismatic feel. The odd muted peach, almost vomit-esque color of the letters reminds me of a brain, or some other body part that could be found deep inside someone, and clashes with the bright colors one traditionally associates with these frozen desserts. Located at Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, the piece was recently reinstalled in the west end of the Early Twentieth Century Art Gallery bridge, where it demands to be noticed

“Symbolic Explosion” happened about 50,000 years ago and was to depict the various forms of human art, cultural presentations, standard rituals and probably, the power assimilated within. Symbol became universally accepted by kingdoms, countries and societies as a natural and effective expression for whatever the symbol may represent. Symbolism has been given various interpretations by laureates, be it to adorn or to showcase religion or to represent a society or tell a story.

Symbols have various hidden meanings that are used as a language to express emotions. They are used to make people aware of various thoughts about life and it is proved by Harper Lee’s novel to kill a mockingbird. Lee demonstrates through plot and characters that symbols express those thoughts that cannot be converted into words to express relations and emotions to a greater extent. Firstly, mockingbirds are sacrificial lambs that are surrounded by people who do not let them fight back for the injustice happening to them.

1- I believe that pop-culture sensation of emojis are images that represent words and language. By the writer using emojis within a text, people do not need a specific language to understand what he or she is trying to convey. This is further supported by Kenneth Goldsmith in his book Uncreative Writing, when he defines reading words as an act of decoding. This is what I think it happens with emoji and images. The way we understand emojis are the same way we read words; decoding.

First, a person with an extraversion personality tends to be the center of attention and lives by the motto “the more the merrier”(Jensen-Campbell & Graziano, 2001). Blair shows to have this trait by always expressing her emotions to others. She isn’t afraid to let people know her issues and how she is feeling.
