On December 7, 1941 the Japanese empire attacked Pearl Harbor. 2,400 Americans were killed and 1,200 injured. President Franklin D. Roosevelt immediately took action. In February 19, 1942 he signed the executive order 9066. This executive order gave military army’s immense power. They were to take everyone with Japanese ancestry to internment camps were they would be held captive. All of these military areas would exclude all the people of Japanese ancestry, just because they were considered “dangerous”

Factors that caused the Japanese people to immigrate to the United States were the promises of peace and prosperity. In 1868 Japan underwent a massive urbanization causing farms to be destroyed and farmers to be out of work. Japan also isolated themselves from trade to Europe and other nations, so there wasn’t a lot of work to be found in Japan at this time. As news of the economy rising in the United States, so did the temptations of the Japanese people to immigrate to this prosperous land. They

years, I had come into contact with a group of Chinese and Japanese people, and I expect that the Japanese have evolved intellectually and morally, but the Chinese have remained the same (Al-Arabiya 2014: comment 9). Al-Sharari, by mobilizing his fictive history as a source of his racialization of the Chinese and Japanese peoples, he references World War II and other armed conflicts, as stages of their barbarisms and savagery, particularly in manslaughter. He further supports his imagination by claiming

values and a long history stretch from time immemorial into practices today. What is especially problematic with this view (beyond issues of the essentialization of Japanese culture) is that many Japanese people hold this same belief (Stanlaw 2004; Block and Cameron 2002). Nihonjinron, or theories of Japanese people for Japanese people is a popular literature genre that advocates for the uniqueness of “Japaneseness”(Stanlaw 2004). However, in a country that now more than ever is being influenced by

Japanese people are very unique to people who are not from Japan. They think the Japanese people are unusual because they totally separate Japanese people and others. Japanese people have strong racial consciousness because of their national background. Japan is an island country, and people are usually speaking one language. Also, social structure and customs are very difficult to understand to foreigners. In addition, Japan is one race country, so Japanese people are no hesitation to separate Japanese

Comparative politicians often describe Japanese culture as a Confucian collectivist culture that emphasizes family and work group goals above individualistic needs (Haddad). Embedded in their language, Japanese culture adheres to a hierarchal structure set in place by Confucian ideals. Different from western ideologies such as the ideals of The United States and The United Kingdom, these cultural beliefs are, consequently, seen by western countries as the root to key differences within a state. Indeed

is Popular in Japan When people talk about what family is, the first image in my mind is that a father and his son are sitting on the deep green grass beside a jewelry blue lake, and colorful birds are singing while the sun is shining on their smiling faces, which is a good example from “Once More to the Lake” (White). What is a family? In my opinion, a family is that the people have the close relationship and share the responsibility for each other. In a family, people love each other and follow

The core of the Japanese experience in Canada lies in the shameful and almost undemocratic suspension of human rights that the Canadian government committed during World War II. As a result, thousands of Japanese were uprooted to be imprisoned in internment camps miles away from their homes. While only a small percentage of the Japanese living in Canada were actually nationals of Japan, those who were Canadian born were, without any concrete evidence, continuously being associated with a country

Japanese Celebrations Organizational Pattern: Topical I. Introduction A. Attention Getter: The Japanese have a very unique and interesting culture. B. Statistic: 90% of Japanese people celebrate on New Year's Day. C. Thesis Statement: Like the United States, the Japanese celebrate various holidays with lavish festivities. D.

The internment of Japanese-Canadians was not only cruel but also immoral in a multitude of ways. In the Second World War, Japanese-Canadians were seen as enemies despite being mostly naturalized or born in Canada (Suigman 52). The internment served to protect Canadian citizens in the West Coast, however, it achieved nothing. The internment of Japanese-Canadians was not justified because the hardships faced were the result of racial prejudice as seen through the justifications for the cruel camps
