Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066 that authorized the Army to evacuate any persons they considered a threat to national security. As a result, over 120,000 Japanese people were forced to relocate to one of ten different internment camps around the United States.]]> 2017-10-24 14:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_skeffington/94yx3y1s2uz2/wish/200001117 Cultural Identity shannon_skeffington https://padlet.com/shannon_skeffington/94yx3y1s2uz2/wish/200002910 "Culture are all the things that make up a certain way of life or living. This can include all the beliefs and values, language, customs, style of dress, food, song, and stories that belong to a certain group of people. Cultural identity comes from the way they take certain aspects of each of the cultures they belong to and use them to shape and define who they are."]]> 2017-10-24 14:24:22 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_skeffington/94yx3y1s2uz2/wish/200002910 WWII Anti-Japanese Propaganda jacqueline_zurow https://padlet.com/shannon_skeffington/94yx3y1s2uz2/wish/200005777 "Analysis of a supplemental WWII poster further proves the influence of propaganda in spreading racial stereotypes. The Tokio Kid was created by artist Jack Campbell and sponsored by Douglas Aircraft Company as part of the company's campaign to reduce waste. The pointed ears and sharp fangs also add to the menace of the character and transform him into an animal-like creature. Squinted eyes and enlarged buckteeth illustrate generalized physical attributes of the Japanese. The buckteeth also suggest a dopey quality, undermining the intelligence of the Japanese race. The drool hanging from his lips adds to his dim-witted appearance. Even the broken English in the caption mocks the intellect of the Japanese, and the use of the word Jap in the caption also demonstrates a racial slur used against the Japanese during WWII. The posters instilled fear and racial prejudice against the Japanese in order to gain the United States support for the war."]]> 2017-10-24 14:28:14 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_skeffington/94yx3y1s2uz2/wish/200005777 Japanese Internment Camps ashley_budziak https://padlet.com/shannon_skeffington/94yx3y1s2uz2/wish/200010652

The term bystander effect refers to the phenomenon in which the greater the number of people present, the less likely people are to help a person in distress.

When an emergency situation occurs, observers are more likely to take action if there are few or no other witnesses. Being part of a large crowd makes it so no single person has to take responsibility for an action (or inaction).

He took over at a time of rising democratic sentiment, but his country soon turned toward ultra-nationalism and militarism. During World War II, Japan attacked nearly all of its Asian neighbors, allied itself with Nazi Germany and launched a surprise assault on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor. Though Hirohito later portrayed himself as a virtually powerless constitutional monarch, many scholars have come to believe he played an active role in the war effort. After Japan’s surrender in 1945, he became a figurehead with no political power.]]> 2017-10-25 02:33:27 UTC https://padlet.com/shannon_skeffington/94yx3y1s2uz2/wish/200255353
