...Japanese Internment As the last missile drops from a Japanese plane, America is at a loss. Pearl Harbor, an infamous military base located in Hawaii, was the target for the Japanese planes to destroy. And there it happened, on December 7, 1941 a devastating turn of events that would forever be known as one of the great tragedies for the United States of America. This attack initiated an executive decision that became yet another tragedy in American history and that was to imprison all Americans that were Japanese. This directive to place all Japanese-Americans into internment camps was made under the misguided suspicion that all Japanese-Americans were a threat to the country and could be spies. Although this was a time where they were...

...land. And with the attack of Japanese in Pearl Harbor, many Americans could not help but blame the Japanese for the deaths of thousands of American soldiers. This then results to suspicion and mistrust on the thousands of Japanese-Americans in the United States and later on urged President Franklin Roosevelt to pass the Executive Order 9066, which promoted Internment Camps for the Japanese and granted military commanders powers to unconstitutionally take control over many Japanese in the camp. To add to that, the Internment Camps highlighted the failure of political leaders to secure the rights and safeness of each...

...the internment camps during the war, Texas probably does not come to mind, however, Texas had the largest of any of the World War II internment camps. The camp held American civilians of German, Japanese, and Italian ancestry. In Europe, concentration camps were growing rampant and innocent people were being shipped like cattle in train cars to work there or sadly be killed. Comparing and anaylzing the differing camps between Europe and Texas, reveals that they had their differences, but there were also too many similarities to the mindest against prisoners of war. Crystal City had humble beginnings early...

...Japanese internment camps were established in Canada and America in 1941, after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Prime Minister Mackenzie King deemed it a necessary act to protect Canada. Japanese-Canadians were forcibly taken from their homes, instructed only to bring as much as you can carry. They were then taken to large empty buildings like abandoned factories and empty sports arenas. They were held there, similar to the ghettos used in Germany, to wait until they could be placed on a train and set to the internment camps. The internment camps were located in very isolated locations in Northern British Columbia. The camps were set up with shacks or tents for the Japanese inmates. There were no clothes provided for the inmates and meals...

...imprisoned because of their race? Well people being of Japanese ancestry got put into 4 different types of camps. the types of camps were assembly centers,internment camps, detention or isolation camps. The Japanese Americans were thought to have loyalty to japan. The families that were held in the camps had to work,parents were getting paid 5 dollars,the kids were forced to go to school.This is why America is a terrible place. The start of the camps happened two weeks after the pearl harbor bombing. The U.S President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the document for 9066 which made all Japanese Americans leave the west coast("Japanese Americans in Concentration Camps"). The camps broke up family members and relationships. In march 1946 the last camp closed down, then 1988 the government award prizes to the Japanese American for surviving the camp() The bombing of pearl harbor took rights from the Japanese Americans before they were put in camps.

...Andy Vu ETHN 14 PROF Mark 26 November 2015 Japanese Internment Camps during World War II: Sports in the Camps. The Bombing of Pearl Harbor, on December 7, 1941 resulted in President Roosevelt to issue Executive Order 0966 on February 19th 1942, which effected all Japanese ancestry, both citizens and aliens living in America or outside of the Pacific zone. The Executive Order's primary objective were to prevent any espionage and to protect the Japanese people from any harm against Americans who slowly began to become very strong anti-Japanese people who were growing their hate and racial discrimination to the Japanese due to the bombing. With the Executive Order in act, if affected “117,000 people of Japanese descent, two-thirds of whom were native-born citizens of the United States” (as stated through the National Archives.) Evacuation orders were posted in Japanese American communities giving them instructions on what they were to do. This included the Issei who were the first generation Japanese to immigrate to American and also the Nisei who were the second generation Japanese in America. The Japanese were allotted a few days to pack whatever they could and bring it with them. Many families had to sell off their homes, businesses and their belongings at a much lower price they had purchased it for. The 117,000 people of Japanese decent living in the U.S were later removed from their homes and moved to internment camps to prove their loyalty to the United States. During...

...Racism and Power A Formal Research Paper on Racism HSP-3UI-03 Jenna Yates 06/16/2014 -1- Introduction Over the generations, there have been horrific examples of racism around the globe. The holocaust, the slave trade and Apartheid in South Africa are all examples of appalling events throughout history that display racism. In addition to these extreme examples, racism exists on a smaller scale in peoples day to day lives. For example, there are people who face certain disadvantages, like being denied employment, denied an apartment or denied a friendship all because of their race. While there is definitely a movement to eradicate racist actions and beliefs, they still exist. Despite education and a history of horrible experiences with racism, it is still a huge issue in our culture and in our environment. This is so, because there is always a group who benefits from racism and it is hard to let this power and privileges go. Racism has been an effective tool for those in a position of power and privilege to maintain their status, income, recourses, the ability to make decisions, etc. Racism empowers some and disempowers others. Even though we have seen the down side of racism, it is something we continue to repeat from country to country and decade to decade because we know it works to maintain power. Despite all the advances society has seen in research, knowledge and technology, mankind has not been able to abolish racism. Therefore, in spite of our understanding...

...lost the identity unique to the context? What should be the interior design educator’s attitude toward teaching design and culture in the current age? We encounter dilemmas in global design, the results of which are sometimes almost identical regardless of unique settings because of our tendency to grasp design as a whole with respect to particular style or trend without fully apprehending the core and the deviation. Perceiving the entire design project as a mere symbolic expression also hinders our true understanding of design and culture. In this article, I attempt to answer fundamental questions regarding the complex, innate relationship between design and culture and suggest restructuring a conceptual framework applicable to related research and education that effectively reveals the multi faceted characteristics of design and culture in the present age. From the perspective of morphology, current individual design practice can be redefined as one entity comprising two coexisting components: One is a set of particular principles that construe a certain design pattern or type of design practice, and the other is another set of morphed elements embedded in design that reflects the context. The conceptual framework on which this article is based derives from George Kubler’s...

...Module 1: Digital Photography Critical Analysis Digital Photography 1. Introduction A sailor planting a wet one on a nurse, Man walking on the moon, a student standing up to a line of tanks, and the horrifying moment a plane crashed into a skyscraper. Figure 1 –"V-J Day, Times Square, 1945", a.k.a. "The Kiss" “Man on the Moon, Apollo 11, 1969” "Tiananmen Square, China, 1989" “9/11 Attacks, New York City, 2001” All of these iconic images from history would be nothing but memories without the invention of photography. The power of photography has allowed us to see distant places, events before our lifetime, people from foreign lands and tragedies including war; all through the view of a lens. In just under 200 years, photography has transformed the world we live in enabling us to see not only beyond the boundaries of time and location but also beyond the range of human vision through macro, infrared and high-speed photography. Figure 2 – High Speed Photography, Bullet shot through an apple 1 Module 1: Digital Photography Critical Analysis Photography has changed a lot since its inception, what once was a painstakingly slow process involving specialized equipment and chemicals has become a revolutionary digital medium accessible by virtually anyone. 2. A Brief History of Cameras While the founding ideas behind what would become photography date back as far as the ancient Romans, the real history of cameras starts in the 17th century.
