H&M and Muslim Culture

Ive decided to pick an article that was published in October 13th, 2015. The article is about a young lady by the name of Idrissi in which she is from London. This article grabbed my attention because it is something different. The caption alone grabbed my attention because it is rare for an individual to see a Muslim women in hijab- which is a veil that covers the face and body of women. Now this article was interviewing Wilkes Students to see how they felt about this H&M's new ad campaign. One student believes that "Islam has nothing to do with it and it is not against it, but that me" while another student said, "staying away from modeling is preferable because it could lead to women following new trends of hijab..." I personally feel that H&M has done a great thing and its amazing to see new faces, cultures and traditions on the H&M spread. We live in a country of diversity but we also live in a country who is at times stubborn to change and is quick to judge. So I'm glad to see what doors this campaign can open.

February 2nd - Iowa Caucus - GroundHogs Day

"Hillary Clinton's razor-thin victory in the Iowa Democratic caucuses sets up a prolonged nomination fight with rival Bernie Sanders as the focus shifts to New Hampshire." says CNN

This is great news! Todays is February 2nd 2016. Who would of thought a women would even be in the election or let alone be able to speak on national TV. The news that has hit media is that Clinton has taken the race. Now to be honest I didn't know the true meaning of the Iowa Caucus. So before writing this blog I had to do some research. Now lets begin, The Iowa caucuses are the first time actual voters all across any US state get up and go say who they want to be president. This becomes a major presentation of the US as a whole. Now I'm not a big fan of politics but honestly to say I'm happy Trump didn't win. His ego is way to high for me and it gives Hillary a boost of confidence. Many people take her as a joke because she is a women and the fact she won gives me hope for America. 

Now the second news that has hit us is Groundhogs day! So now one may wonder, "Did he see his shadow?"... or "Did he not see his shadow?" Well he did! This is exciting because the weather has been so off these past few months and knowing spring is coming early is comforting because maybe the world isn't coming to an end. But yet again maybe not because who would of thought we would of had a Christmas of 60 degree weather. Im so excited for spring and look forward to see how accurate this shadow foretelling is!
