Japanese Internment Video Comparison by Sara D

In the first video put up by the US Government, the American Government thinks they will be disloyal so they have to move them. The Government says the Japanese are willing to do camp and they give reasons why.  

In the second video’s message was why the Japanese should not join the camps. They were given a small room apartment with little no privacy, a small army cot, blankets, and a small stove were all they own.

 I think the second video because it explains more of what will be there and etc

Japanese Internment Video Comparison by Alaina B

First-

In the first video, it explains why Japanese citizens were placed into internment camps. There was an attack on Pearl Harbor and everyone was scared of the Japanese, and felt as if they were being threatened by them. In this video, the government tried to get the Japanese to volunteer and go to these camps so that he could say that they all willingly went to the camps themselves. The video was made by the US government, so it tried to justify what we were putting the Japanese people through, even though they were innocent. This video didn’t completely explain things well,and was trying to share the message that the Japanese were all bad. I think that what the government was doing was completely wrong, and he was trying to make it seem like all Japanese people were bad because of Pearl Harbor. 

Second-

In this video. It shows that the internment camps were started way before the attacks, due to them breaking laws that got them banned from the country. The government thinks that since some people were bad, everyone else from that area is bad too. That’s why the remaining people who made it to America were placed into these internment camps. The Government wanted to get rid of all the Japanese people, even the ones that were American citizens. Residents had to sell their belongings and homes for money. I think that this video is trying to explain that the Japanese were not all bad and that the government put all these people through stuff for nothing, by showing and explaining everything that was happening to them.   

Third-

 I think that the second video tells the most accurate version of the event with the Japanese, and japanese-americans. It explains more than video 1. It explains how the people placed into camps were American citizens. It shows a lot of information on the internment camps. It show s that the camps were isolated, and in places with horrible weather. The places were blocked off with fences, and wire so that nobody could leave. The people were limited to very small spaces and often got sick, with security. It explains how they were serving during ww2 to try and get out of it. The first video is just trying to explain how the Japanese were mostly bad. Overall I think that the second video definitely explains things better.

Japanese Internment Video Comparison by Mercedes H

This video by the U.S. government conveyed how the Japanese-Americans could be spies or cause problems by being loyal to Japan. I believe that this video is an inaccurate portrayal. The details in the video say they are afraid of sabotage, existing bias towards Japanese, forced to sacrifice and give up belongings, roughing self-government ran by Japanese-Americans and starting from scratch in the desert.

The message in the video conveyed the events before Japan attacked us and how things escalated to the war. I believe that this is an accurate portrayal of how the Japanese-Americans were treated. The Americans were treated badly. The details from the video shows that ⅔ were native-born Americans, they were given not too long to sell their homes and belongings, internment camps were put into isolated deserts, they lived in one-room apartments and public opinions became to worsen.

In conclusion I believe that the second video was more accurate than the first one because they were more open with their video while the other one was hiding some details. For example, in the second video they showed how the Japanese-Americans were isolated in the internment camps with bad weather conditions while in the first one they did not include that piece of information so the U.S. government did not look bad.

Expectations

Hello, my name is Tim C. and I am in 1st period 20th Century U.S. history. My expectations for this year are getting to learn about World War II and the Great Depression. I think WWII was an important part of U.S. history and I would love to learn more about this subject. The Great Depression is also not to be overlooked.

I would also like to use the technology in class to improve my skills, and to acquire new learning processes. By using new technology it will make my life easier and others as well. With multiple techniques I can experience alternative ways of learning.
