Japanese American Internment
Japanese American Internment
The instructions are below. For the second part, whatever website the author would like to use is fine with me. Explore the websites https://newspapers.wyo.gov/exhibits/heart-mountain (Links to an external site.), and https://www.nps.gov/nr/twhp/wwwlps/lessons/89manzanar/89manzanar.htm (Links to an external site.) which address the experiences of Japanese Americans who faced internment at war relocation camps during World War II. Then, address the following questions: How did the view that Japanese Americans were foreigners and of questionable loyalty impact their treatment? What were the major challenges they faced when moved to camps? How were their constitutional civil rights violated? During a time of war, is it justified to violate the rights of a specific group of Americans? Explain. Then, look up a current issue on immigrants or immigration in America today. Post your article as a link so that your instructor and other students can read it and explain how the article pertains to the discussion. Based on the information you found answer the following questions. Do immigrants continue to face some level of discrimination or suspicion in America? Finally, how do you think the issue of immigration impacts your life? (You may think in broad terms – about the economy, politics, etc., or personal issues that you have encountered regarding immigration or even your family’s history.) The initial discussion should be 400 words minimum and provide examples, analysis, and historical connections. Cite your article in parenthetical citations within the discussion, example: (Author Name, 136).
