Picture of WWII
|
After reading and watching this
week’s sources I had tend to notice more corruption within the United States.
Knowing that the United States had become involve in WWII even when Americans
didn't want them to, showed the stubbornness of the government. The benefit of
war was the ending of the great depression, ending the decrease of labor jobs
and changing prices. Women also had more job opportunities, although temporary
work, because of the men being in war. WWII killed many people, outside the
United States. Not only was the death rate high, WWII also raised the United
States expenses because of these death rates. The loss of innocent people homes
and families really made me feel bad especially with the Hiroshima bombing
event. People in American were fearful that they themselves with get bombed.
Schools had air raid drills.

During WW2, Americans would invade Japanese Americans homes and stores because of the attack on Pearl Harbor.

Talking about Japanese Americans,
I felt really sorry for the non-spy Japanese Americans. Especially the ones
that were born in the United States and had no connection to Japan. As well as
the ones who escape Japan to join "the land of the free.” The pearl harbor
attack was really bad and it made Americans scared and even generalize Japanese
people as a whole. Japanese people were sent to concentration camps and had to
endure harsh treatment from the outside world. I was saddened by the number of
kids who were brought into these camps. Americans generalized a whole race
because of fear and that's exactly what happened to the African-Americans,
Hispanics, and Chinese.

Black soldiers during WWII.
|
Along with the discrimination
and unfair treatment of Japanese Americans. African Americans were also still
being mistreated. They were put in the front lines to fight in WWII. After watching
the Negro Soldier I had seen how the black soldiers mindset was that the other
countries was their enemies, when in reality they were living in their own country
full of enemies. African-American soldiers were often the first to die in war
and the most to die when being in America. I did see changing attitude of race toward
the ending of the war. I saw more discrimination between races. I think this
change happened because of the fear that one race (Asian, black, etc.) might
take over the white (European) race.
I love the pictures good details good way to explain and great points
ReplyDeleteThe fact the America put the Japanese in concentration camps explains a lot. America has always lived in fear of anything different from them. People come to America for a second chance in life only to have that blow up in their face because their skin looks different. The people that the Japanese-Americans left behind bombed the US. Not them. Yet, America operated in fear and forced people law abiding citizens into hiding and suffrage. I will never understand.
ReplyDeleteHi Jazmin, let me start off by saying that the photos in this blog are the bomb. They are powerful, it shows a lot of unity, pain, accomplishment and grit. I like how you included the topic of racism within the different races, I agree it was cruel how other Americans were treated just because they looked different. I liked how you included the women’s involvement in the war as well Great Work!
ReplyDeleteThe way that Japanese Americans were treated were quite awful. The fact that they had to endure that type of treatment based off an event that they had nothing to do with is disgusting. I liked that you used multiple pictures, and discussed multiple events. Your blog was very well organized and I enjoyed reading it.
ReplyDeleteYour blog was very nice, and the picture you used was a true attention grabber. The information that you discussed was very straight forward and your blog was very detailed and orgainized.
ReplyDeleteI hate that the Japanese Americans were treated with so much hatred. They we treated less than human but moreso caged animals. I enjoyed the images you depicted and how each one told a different story.

ReplyDeleteI like how you added pictures to your post for this week and how you explained the captain with the explanation. It was very nice and detailed. In also like the way that you explained the event of WWII about the Japanese American. Its very good understanding from what you were talking about with other americans being judge or discriminated because of the color or the way that they look like in general.
