Japanese Internment Camps - Persuasive Argument On December 7, 1941, Japanese fighter planes attacked the American naval base located near Pearl Harbor at Honolulu, Hawaii. After the bombing, Japanese Americans were sent off to internment camps due to President Franklin Roosevelt’s decision on releasing Executive Order 9066. Even though the U.S government’s decision was meant to benefit the country’s safety from more attacks by the Japanese, my strong belief is that Executive Order 9066 was not justifiable towards Americans.
The prison camps were acompanied by about 120 soilders per camp. They were fed but, the camps were not sanitary. Prisoners enjoyed playing sports while at the camp but, soon the camps started to flood with people. Over10,00 people flooded into the salisbury camp. With all of the overflow of men lack of food came.
Rough Draft Japanese POW Camps The Japanese prisoner of war camps were prisons ran by savages, with no rules. These camps were built for soldiers that surrendered in World War Two, and lasted until the end of the war. These camps were ran by savages that saw us less than dogs, and treated people worse than the Germans did. "There were many indeed who became so demoralized that they abandoned every tenet of personal integrity, honor, loyalty, and the accepted standards of human behavior.”
On December 11, 1941 Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japanese, more than 360 Japanese warplanes. They came and bombed our harbor killing more than 5,000 people. After the bombing America had a suspicion that maybe there was a spy, so they put more than 110,000 Japanese-Americans in an internment camps. I feel that internment camps were not necessary though because of that action we were thought of as racist, harsh, and dis loyal. I feel that because of those internment camps we were looked at as racist because we put humans in a internment camp just because they were of a different race.
Prisoners of the War of 1812 were treated differently based on what side they were on. Nations provided for their own men that were being held, such as clothing and food were needed to be proved for there own men. However, British did not like the fact of having to send money to their men for food and clothing and other necessities, because they knew that the money would end up with the opposing side for their use. British prisoners were often split up between a variety of towns of different conditions. American prisoners were crammed into very small spaces.
To begin with, President Franklin Roosevelt issued an executive order authorizing military commanders to remove Japanese decent people out of their home areas. Whether or not they were citizens of the United States they were told to leave their homes on the west coast and report to assembly centers, also known as internment camps. Moreover, many questions arise stating, was it within the power of Congress and the Executive branch to exclude persons of Japanese ancestry from their homes. Justice Hugo Black claimed that during the time the exclusion was ordered, it was justified because although the exclusion imposed hardship on American citizens it was a time of war. Therefore, under the conditions of war the country is able to act if they
Reactions to these internment camps varied between those in the camps, or have friends in the camp, and those on the outside of the camps. A Fort Minor song, that was written based upon an interviewed internee, stated, “They gave Ken, a couple of days to get his whole life packed in two bags just two bags, couldn’t even pack his clothes. Some folks didn't even have a suitcase, to pack anything in. So two trash bags, was all they gave them…”(Fort Minor). During this time of the evacuation process, FBI agents raided people’s homes, violating their rights to their own property as well as their privacy.

There was a famous soldier during World War II whose name was Desmond Doss. Doss was a 23 year old soldier when he first went into battle. Doss fought in three major battles which were: Battle of Guam, Battle of Leyte, and Battle of Okinawa. Doss received the Medal of Honor from President Harry Truman for demonstrating incredible bravery. In The True Story of Hacksaw Ridge and Desmond Doss, a People article written by Mike Miller, the author states,”Private Desmond Doss walked into the bloodiest battle of World War II’s Pacific theater with nothing to protect himself save for his Bible and his faith in God.
POW camps have always been found during wars as warriors are captured. From the Egyptians who used the captured enemy combatants as workers, to the Terrorists who use them for information. They are known to be cruel and inescapable. They strike fear into those who have lived there. These camps were believed to be a place where even the Devil wouldn’t dare go.
Involuntary admission and medication have been administered to the mentally ill and disabled for centuries; this course began in the 1800s when the first insane asylum opened in Britain after the 1808 County Asylum Act. While many organizations are aimed at equal rights for all who are not a direct danger to themselves or others, there is still large injustice for the mentally handicapped when his/her rights are violated by being pushed into unnecessary hospitalization. Countless innocent, mentally ill people are impacted by having treatments they are involuntarily given; fortunately, organizations such as Mental Disability Rights International are attempting to make a difference by fighting against the treatment the mentally disabled receive
Was Japanese internment, being in a camp away from the outside world, bad? Japanese internment was very wrong and unjustified in many ways. Japanese internment was terrible for innocent people that did nothing wrong. The reasons that Japanese internment was wrong are that they were given horrible food and forced to sit in a crowded mess hall, they lived in cheap and fast-built shacks in groups, and the U.S admitted that Japanese internment was wrong.
Torture was a big thing for Michael Ryan. He believed that in order to please Yahweh, those who do wrong should be publically punished. Therefore he would brutally torture those who questioned his teachings. Often times as a form of torture, compound members would be forced to copulate with the communal goat as others watched. Members of the compound were made to listen to endless recordings of Wickstroms meetings (Coates, James).
An unhealthy obsession with guns, being drugged to make killings seem normal, and being undoubtedly loyal to commanders is only part of what a child soldier is. Child soldiers can be dangerous and make up many armies in war-torn countries. In much of the world, usually in unstable countries, when conflict breaks out, children can quickly be swept up and put on the front lines to fight. Children may carry ten-pound guns and use bullets twice the size of their fingers. Some children are old enough to understand what they are doing, and others have no idea.
2. The Prison-Industrial Complex introduced by Eric Schlosser, is a theory that claims that the prison system is constructed by political pressures, economic requirements, and commercial demands. The prison system has been continuously growing in the last three decades, regardless of the actual need for it. The PIC is specifically harmful to the most vulnerable of people, such as homeless people, mentally ill, etc. The PIC does more harm, than good, therefore, it is a poor system all-around.
