In an online article; Pop Culture: “Fulla doll: Arabs answer to Barbie,” it talked about the similarities and the few differences between the two dolls. For example both barbies have the same shape face, they are both the same height and even the shoes are the same in height and size, the differences between the two are just as simple to see, but I feel make a bigger impact.

Personal: The clothing of the two dolls at first glace, i could see they are very different, the fulla dolls have the long black robs that cover them from head to toe, even in this photo you can hardly see the doll’s hands. The Fulla dolls don’t have the vial’s across their faces, that took me slightly by surprise, only because I assumed that that is what they would have. I found it interesting that they made barbie dolls or (Fulla dolls) that are able to represent the identity and culture of Arab women.

Historical: This is a good example of how Arab women have been dressing for years. Culturally Arab women are not st show off there bodies in anyway, that includes tight clothing. People are not to see that their figure; hips breast, thighs etc. This is away that they show respect for their culture and themselves.

Technical: I am not sure if there is a source of light in this picture. I dosen’t seem as if there is. i thik they presented this photot well, showing the distinct differences as well as the few similarites between the two dolls.

Ethical: Morally I think that the photogarpher had a resposibility to show the truth about the way in which Arab women present themselves. As well as showing that there is no problem with the way Arab women represent their culture.

Cultural: One symbol used in this picture was the use of black, the color in general helps to make you look slimmer, and in this case because the facbric is so lose fitting it hides the shape of the woman. also the length as well as the way the rob is drapped, you can tell that no individual is to see who she is physically.

Critical: this photo shows how Arab women are portrayed and howthey are expected to present themselves.
