The United States constitution talks about how anybody born in the United States is automatically an American citizen by law, no matter what their race is. Japanese-Americans had just as much citizen rights as anybody else. However, during the time of World War II, they were treated like foreigners, enemies of the state. On February 19, 1942, U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed and issued a document know as Executive Order 9066 that would be responsible for deporting the Japanese-Americans

Deception and disguise are two key themes in Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night'. As in most comedies, Twelfth Night celebrates different forms of disguise and deception in order to make the play more entertaining. It also develops a strong connection between the main plot (with Viola, Orsino, Olivia, and the others) and the sub-plot (involving Sir Andrew, Sir Toby, Malvolio, and Maria). Disguise and deception appear in many different ways throughout the story. One of the most overt examples of disguise

The ‘fluor’ in fluorspar came from the Latin word ‘fluere’ which means ‘to flow’ or ‘flux’- because this is what it has allowed metals to do. We now know this metal as calcium fluoride. THE DISCOVERY Several chemists carried out experiments containing fluorspar in the early 1800’s. They often produced

Due to peer pressure, President Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 on February 19th, 1942

Having developed long before clothes was utilized for fashion, jewelry is one of the oldest consumer products around. Crafted gold jewelry was used in Egypt over 3000 – 4000 years ago. During this time the Egyptians preferred to use color glass over precious gems. For each gem stone available at that time, the Egyptians had colored glass ready to imitate it. To Egyptians, jewelry was a sign of wealth and power. Jewelry was also buried with them along with other valued possessions. The Greeks began

In 1942 President Franklin D Roosevelt issued an order to create “Internment Camps” for people of Japanese descent living in the USA. Sixty-two percent of these people were US Citizens and some of them had only 1/16th Japanese Ancestry. One hundred and thirty thousand people were “relocated” to these camps without any proof of wrongdoing or just trial.
