For my hashtag,I chose #peace. I found that some tweets were used to promote peace and happiness within oneself, but others used it as a way to say goodbye. The tone of the first tweet shows determination. It exemplifies that peace is the way to bring security and harmony between Palestine and Israel. While scrolling down this hashtag, I saw many tweets about the conflict between Israel and Palestine, meaning many people want to use peace to bring about change. The tone of the second tweet is unkind. The teenage girl is using the word “peace” as a way to say goodbye. She also uses two emojis to show the spitefulness. Looking at these different usages, I think there only two ways to use peace. One being about creating tranquility, and others using it as a way to say goodbye.

These contradictory hashtags say that some people use peace to it’s full extent and use the full meaning of it while others don’t care what it means.
