Recommended: Japanese culture american

Of the 3 options given to submit an essay on, I chose option number 2. At first glance it not only appeared to be shorter in length but it also proved to show different perspectives of being Japanese during a tumultuous time of the United States. I had no idea 300,00 Japanese had migrated to Hawaii. I knew of the bombing of Pearl Harbor through high school history classes but the videos I saw never touched on the things these videos presented. For example in 1913 there were laws passed that Japanese could not own land, or in 1922 they could become naturalized citizens, or 1924 there was a full ban on Japanese immigration. Watching the video and hearing this information made me think of what is happening today with my Muslim brothers and sisters,

    You may think that the Constitution is your security - it is nothing but a piece of paper. You may think that the statutes are your security - they are nothing but words in a book. You may think that elaborate mechanism of government is your security - it is nothing at all, unless you have sound and uncorrupted public opinion to give life to your Constitution, to give vitality to your statutes, to make efficient your government machinery.

  • The Pros And Cons Of Immigrants In America

    Some would say, quotes John F. Kennedy, “Everywhere immigrants have enriched and strengthened the fabric of American life.” Thus, in today’s society, we can say that immigrants are what made America possible—economically and socially. We are in a melting pot era where the impossible was made possible. From the time John F. Kennedy was elected in 1960, making a promise to change the national origins system to unite the nations of all countries equally. Hence, in 1965, under Lyndon Johnson’s administration, Kennedy’s promise came into light, amending the INS—favoring unification of families, not national origins. Although, the unification was made possible, the peacefulness never lasted.

    Immigration has been a key factor of the success of the United States from the start. More specifically, without the influence of immigrants our country would not be the place that it is today. There is, however, great controversy surrounding the idea that immigration, whether legal or illegal, should be accepted or denied. Since the beginning of time, immigration has played a large role in the history of the United States. Immigration to the U.S. has been a popular desire since before the world wars (Archiv 141). The desire continues even today. One of America's most influencial leaders, George Washington, said:

  • The Benefits of Immigration in the United States

    America is known famously throughout the world with the nickname 'The melting pot.' The reason behind this is that America is extremely diverse and has many different people. Immigrants give America the chance to know the culture of many countries. They bring in their culture, religion, economic benefits, and ideology to America. I believe that the United States should allow legal immigrants from all over the world because they bring many benefits to it. Immigrants are a positive influence on United States of America.

  • Essay On Japanese Immigration

    391 Words  | 1 Pages

    What kind of effects did migrating have on the people who did it? Many people and races immigrated to the U.S in the search for a better living condition. Most went for job opportunities and the struggle of racial discrimination. Although these are two factors behind the reason of immigration, there's many more that caused these people to feel the need to leave their homeland. One similarity between all the immigration groups is that they all were pushed and pulled by some factor. The Japanese we're pushed to America hearing news that “money grew on trees”.

  • Pearl Harbor

    2045 Words  | 5 Pages

    This topic was very interesting. .The Pearl Harbor played a major historical role in World War II by galvanizing US support against the Axis. Previously, the US had generally supported Britain but was dissuaded by public opinion from direct involvement. By attacking the United States at Pearl Harbor, Japan brought America into the war. President Roosevelt knew beforehand that something somewhere would happen, but Congress and the American people balked at entering the war. Japan's attempt was to destroy American naval power in the Pacific figuring it would take a couple of years to rebuild the fleet. This would allow them to conquer the Australian Archipelago and extend their empire. Luckily, the Enterprise was on maneuvers at sea and no American carrier was damaged in the attack. This set the stage for America entering the war and focusing its industrial might against the Axis Powers. the topic that entertained me was “How did Japan plan the attack on Pearl Harbor”This entertained me because i didn’t know how they had every thing planed out.Also when i was watching the videos in class it got me more entertained and i was like “WOW”.That is why i have choice this topic.

  • Japanese And Chinese Immigration And The Hart-Cellar Act Of 1965

    277 Words  | 1 Pages

    Japanese and Chinese immigration was made possible by the passage of the Hart-Cellar Act of 1965 and the repeal of exclusion acts two decades before. Chinese immigrants today constitute the second largest immigrant group in New York City (U. S. Census Bureau 2010). Following the New York economic crisis in the 1970s and subsequent depressed property values, the Flushing area offered these new groups opportunities to move in and establish new a new retail and commercial base. Taiwanese immigrants established the first Asian immigrant foothold in Flushing and revitalized the area. In this period, many Taiwanese immigrants bypassed Manhattan’s Chinatown for Flushing because they did not identify with its working-class Cantonese culture. Other
