1. Do you believe that the expression of emotions are universal across cultures? Why/Why not?

2. Do you consider “emoticons”(the smiley faces, etc we use in email and texting) to be expressions of emotions? Why/Why not? 

**Please do not confuse the words EMOTICON and EMOTION when posting. The first question is asking about emotions (feelings).**

 

3. Go to this link and zoom in on the picture of Emoticons used in Japan:http://whatjapanthinks.com/2006/08/14/japans-top-thirty-emoticons/

Also look at the following examples:

 

U.S.

Japan

Happy

:-)

(^_^)

Sad

:-(

(;_;)

Amazed/Surprised

:-O

(o_o)

Laughing/Really happy

:-D

(^o^)

Speechless

:- #

(*_*)

Do these differ from the emoticons used in the U.S.? In what way? (i.e., what features do the US emoticons focus on and what features do the Japanese emoticons focus on?)
