Internment Camp

well. I have realize that the people and government that maintain, cleanse, and protect the social

fabric of America is a great one. But the social fabric of America is not as clean as we like to

think it is. As a matter of fact the fabric has been stain quite a few times actually, and not with

the type of stains that can be simply remove. But the kind of stains that take years of steam

cleaning and chemical treatment to restore to its original condition. In this case, the stains I am

referring to is regarding the internment of Japanese Americans and the long restoration period it

took for Japanese Americans to restore their lives physically and mentally.

John Locke was an advocator of three natural rights: life, liberty, and property. The Japanese

who were detain lost all of these, including life. When I mean life I don't mean being executed,

but when you lose your liberty and property based on your ancestry; your whole life has been

basically stripped away from you, so what is life then?

A long history of Anti-Japanese sentiments fueled by economic competition and racial

stereotypes propel the frontrunner(in my opinion) of this unconstitutional act, General DeWitt, to

make it a personal quest of sort to assure a forced exodus of Japanese American into

internment camps, ran by the WRA. The decision of internment was implemented towards

Japanese Americans living on the west coast in 1942 after the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Claims

of Japanese soldier being aid by Japanese American to help plan the attack on pearl harbor

caused concern for the general public. The fingers of dead Japanese's soldiers were allege to

have worn class rings from Hawaii university. But what made matter was when many influential

news and media sources failed to investigate these claims of Japanese American sabotages

against the united states. the media didn't take time to check questionable evidence

of regarding these claims. The majority of the media were being bias by leading public opinion

polls
