Japanese Internment Camps WWII

1. How do we prevent the injustice of internment from happening again? Perhaps it
starts with learning about this historic mistake, as well as working to
eliminate the causes for continuing racial prejudice today. 

This was obviously a big mistake in United States history and there is nothing wrong with making mistakes, the only thing that would make it wrong is not having the effort to make it right. To keep this tragic event from happening again we have to at least try to shape our society as a good one by eliminating racist, sexist, and any other prejudice vibes that were in the past. 

2. What do you think? What is your responsibility? What can you do as one individual? Your  voice and actions can be an important part not only of preventing the gross  injustice of internment from happening again, but also preventing the other  negative effects of racial hatred and prejudice.

I think that forcing Japanese into internment camps was not only wrong and unfair, but it was also injustice and we did not "establish justice" as it says in the constitution during that time. I think that my responsibility is to be myself and not put anyone down because of their race. People learn from what they see and if I am loving of every race and gender then people will hopefully realize that hatred shouldn't be promoted. There is no way that you can change anyone's opinions and beliefs but you can influence their beliefs.
