One out of fear, one out of hate. As you may know, back in our past was some bad ideas and cruel torture. Back on February 19, 1942 President Ford signed an executive order that took around 120,000 Japanese Americans to internment camps. Also Hitler took the Jewish people out of their homes and put them into concentration camps. These camps were both around the same time. The Nazi concentration camps and the Japanese internment camps are not the same thing at all. The concentration camps were meant for killing Jewish, but the relocation camps were thought as removing all Japanese out of America. First of all, America's goal was never to kill, but for the Nazi’s, it was to kill. America did it because they thought it was safer but the Nazi’s did it out of hate. Second, the internment camps were not meant just for killing. It was cruel, but that was not the soul purpose. A quote from ‘Concentration Camps In Nazi Germany’,”...knowledge of what life was like in concentration camps was allowed to leak out.” This shows people knew it was bad but went along with it because it was so terrifying and Hitler wanted to scare them. This proves that …show more content…
The Japanese had it a little better than the Jewish people because although they had it bad in general, the Jewish people had it worse because they knew sometime in their distant future, they were going to die. The Japanese also had a little more freedom. In a video about the internment camps, they said,”They were aloud to hold meetings, the kids and teens could still go to school and religious time together” On the other hand the Jewish did not have that type of freedom. Also, the Jewish people rarely if ever, got a break. They had job, after job, after job, even if the tasks were pointless. They just never wanted them to get a break. In summation, the Jewish people in the concentration camps were worked hard than the Japanese in the internment
In conclusion, I am against the US putting Japanese in internment camps because half of the japanese didn't have nothing to do with it. They were living in bad conditions.And the weather didn't make it better. The last thing is they were treated like real prisoners. Which wasn’t right for the US to do. They say our country is the land of the free but they didn’t give the “Japs”
Both the Jewish and Japanese camps were discriminatory towards the Jewish and Japanese race. However the Japanese internment camps were put into place out of fear, because Japan dropped a bomb on the United States. While the Jewish concentration camp was put into place because the Jewish “caused” the Great depression. However the camps are similar because they were made for the same reason which was racial discrimination. Both the Jewish and Japanese camp homes were ransacked, and were forcefully put out their homes. Their business were also taken away. Therefore they were put in the camps against their will and were not happy with living there. In both America and Germany the government claimed innocent, when really they were the guilty ones. If it were not for the United States of Germany government the camps would have never been created. Which would have never led to racial discrimination towards the Jewish or Japanese. Many would think that America was just as guilty as Germany, for the only difference is the amount of people killed. Although some if these points are true, they are not strong enough. The Japanese were put into the camps out of fear while the Jews were put into camp for the feeling of ultimate power
It is my belief that the Internment process took place because mass hysteria and racial tensions fueled the government 's decision. Rather than selecting and relocating solely those posing a threat, such as those with criminal records or political ties, the government made a blanket decision and evacuated all peoples of Japanese descent. This was the result of a hysterical overreaction, and it was later documented that "our government had
Concentration camps and internment camps both wanted people to suffer, but overall, they weren’t all that similar. The Holocaust was 12 years long from 1933-1945. The Japanese-American Relocation was held for 4 years from 1942-1946. Many people think these camps are the same, but if these people dig deeper they are realize they are nowhere close. The Japanese internment camps and the Jewish concentration camps aren’t essentially the same for three main reasons: Jews were forced to work while Japanese had the option, Jews were put to death, but the internment camps no one was killed, and concentration camps were formed for different reason.
In American history Japanese internment camps had to do with a lot of hysteria. Hysteria was mainly built up because of the bombing on Pearl Harbor. Americans thought that they were no safe until all Japanese were in no way of hurting us. So by putting Japanese Americans in internment camps
Another thing that was bad about the internment camp is that there was a lot of racism going on between the Americans and the Japanese. The anti-racism has been going in the United States since the 19th century. There were tensions between the Asian immigrant workers and the whites because they were force to compete for jobs and land. The United States Congress decided to discourage the Japanese immigrants and to prohibit the naturalization of Japanese immigrants. “The state of California banned the marriages between the whites and the people of Asian descent” (KIM). This is also racism also because the Japanese were the only race that was send to the camps. There were signs on street and billboard on stores
The internment and cruel treatment of the Japanese in the U.S. stemmed from a fear of a full-pledged invasion from Japan and also from years of racial prejudice
Some may say that Concentration camps seem the same to Internment camps but this argument is misleading because there are more differences than similarities and one example of this could be the reasons behind why Hitler and FDR imprisoned the citizens. Hitler imprisoned the Jews because he didn't agree with their personal beliefs and he saw them as a disgrace. FDR saw the Japanese as a threat to his country after the bombing of pearl Harbor in 1971. Another example
Another reason why the United States creates the internment camps was because they feared that the Japanese-Americans were going to betray them. The media carried out a huge role into putting the Japanese in the internment camps. In the Japanese-American relocation camps article written by ……. stated that “in January 1947, a naval intelligence office in Los Angeles reported that the Japanese-American were being perceived as a threat almost entirely, because of physical characteristics of the people”. This caused a huge fright for the Americans thinking that the Japanese-Americans were going to sell them out to the Japanese. The Japanese made sure to make them look bad and throw them In camps. Since they never had evidence they used the media. According to the tragedy of the Japanese-American internment article, “ the court agreed to carry out this persecution”. It was wrong that the court would even carry out this act without
While the attack on Pearl Harbor was a devastating time in United States history and the attack being conducted by the Japanese government, it didn’t not justify Japanese Americans being put into internment camps. The fear of a Japanese attack on mainland United States soil prompted the United States government to create these internment camps. Such fear lead to innocent Japanese Americans to live in a way that could be considered inhuman. Of the hundreds of thousands of Japanese Americans in the internment camps half of them were children. The conditions of the camps where no way of life and Japanese Americans were forced to live in an undignified life that
The Japanese-American placement in internment camps was wrong and unconstitutional. The Japanese-American people had been living in the United States without question until the uprise of racial prejudice brought on by the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Many Japanese-Americans had been born in America and lived an American life, integrated into American schools, speaking with American accents, and enjoying American culture. But, after the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the Japanese were suddenly seen as threats that needed to be controlled. Without any consent, these Japanese-Americans were placed in internment camps with poor conditions and treated as if they were ticking time bombs themselves.
Sophocles’ Use of Conflict in Antigone to Teach Moral Behavior Everyone has a distinct set of morals, beliefs, and ideals, and it is these values that cause conflict in our society. Whether it is a political, religious, or domestic issue, the root of the conflict derives from one’s beliefs and values. Conflicts play a vital role in literature as they are frequently the foundation of the plot, and more often than not encompass a greater significance. Greek plays are often driven by a conflict of ideals, as the playwright tries to teach his or her audience valuable morals.
The House of Representatives and the Senate are two words that have become so common the average citizen hardly pays any attention between the differences of these two legislative bodies. To make things clear about the legislative bodies, Congress is the name used to collectively describe the House of representative and the Senate. The House is one of two parts that make up the U.S. Congress the other being Senate. The Hose of representatives is comprised 435 members that are based on the population of the State.
Like all issues involving race or war, the question of whether or not it was legal and ethical to make Japanese Americans move to relocation camps in early WWII is a difficult and controversial problem. The internment of around 50,000 Japanese citizens and approximately 70,000 Japanese-American people born in the U.S. living in the American West Coast has become known as a tragedy and mistake. The government even set up numerous projects to apologize to the American citizens who were wronged (Bosworth). Still, at the time that the decision to relocate was made, the actions were constitutionally legal and seen by many as necessary. The actions were not based on racist feelings. It was, however,
Most human hallucinations, in any case, are not by any methods aware of their conditions, in light of the way that countless show up absolutely run of the mill. The most well known occasions of chimerism to date are the associated cases of Lydia Fairchild and Karen Keegan. Fairchild was pregnant with her third tyke when she confined with her accessory, James Townsend. With a particular true objective to get state welfare, she expected to exhibit that she was the normal mother of her two considered youths. It was found, through DNA testing, that it was unbelievable that she was the common mother of her two children since she bore no genetic closeness to them by any means. A case of welfare distortion took after in light of the fact that the
