Asian-American Democracy Pros And Cons

Furthermore, the United States should do more to compensate the families of those impacted by internment because the recompense provided initially was minimal and should be considered an affront to the memory of the victims. Prior to World War II, the 127,000 Japanese-Americans along America’s west coast (Japanese American Relocation and Internment Camps) were considered just another immigrant group coming to America searching for a better life. However, with the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, this perception soon saw a drastic change. The attack on the US Naval base on December 7th, 1941 left many casualties in its wake.

During the war, Fred Korematsu attempted to prove the bad morals of the relocation camps, but the Supreme Court supported the validity of Executive Order 9066 saying it was “a wartime necessity” (“Japanese-American Internment”). The last center, Tule Lake, closed on March 20, 1946; it peaked at a population of 18,789 internees on December 25, 1944 (“Japanese-American Internment Camps”). In 1948, a law was passed that stated the government would indemnify the property that the people of the camps lost. Even though many Japanese-Americans did not return to their original cities, this new law helped create more opportunities for them to start over with their lives and families. Another factor that helped contribute to the favorable circumstances of the Japanese-Americans was the year 1988.

The dominant white people created the model minority ideal was created to oppress other minorities. The model minority insists that by working hard, one will achieve success in America without having to protest for equality. It is harmful because it often tells minorities that they should not bother to voice their opinions, instead, they should be able to climb up the ladder of success by themselves. Institutions have failed to let the public know that Japanese citizens were able to climb up socially because they were rewarded right after they served in the military during WWII. Therefore, certain Japanese Americans were able to further their education unlike most minorities that cannot afford education who are currently being told to wait until they are

In the 1840’s there was a wave of democratization created after Jackson’s presidency. It was created the value of the common man, and the importance of every person who was in the government. Of course, there were exceptions to this rule as there still certain groups like blacks or women that were viewed as inferior, but the majority of the population felt like they had worth. This led to series of reforms: hospitals for the mentally ill, schools for people with physical disabilities, the temperance movement, and labor unions. This movements fought a better society with better treatment even though there would be no economic incentives to do so.

It gave national pride and created a closer union among the states and people. The Americans were not granted any further land and restrictions on trade were not ultimately lifted, but the country did begin a shift from the previously hierarchical society to a new dynamic self-governing culture. This war paved the way for the people to more freely express their right to govern. I believe historians see the importance for independence within the War of 1812 because looking back, we can see the developmental changes in the country following the war 's end. We see the changes in how the states govern themselves, and how they conduct business with other countries.

Changes to the United States Constitution To better connect with 21st century cultural needs and the political wishes of the people, I would amend the constitution by doing away with the electoral college, adding in an equal rights amendment that encompasses all people regardless of any criteria, and by making the district of Columbia a state as well as granting them the right to vote in Congress. These changes are essential to the rapidly changing times that we live in and are necessary to keep all United States citizens happy with the government. Abolishing the electoral college would greatly benefit the United States. The electoral college is unfair and unconstitutional because the people of the United States do not elect presidents, states

But what does the reform mean, and how will it benefit both the American population and the undocumented immigrants? There are always two sides of a coin, and I will dig into that in my speech. The US Immigration Reform 2014 Barack Obama recently presented the Immigration Accountability Executive Action to the American population that will result in looser regulations regarding illegal immigration. Illegal immigrants that have been in the United States for at least 5 years and undocumented parents of children that are US citizens or legal permit residents, and the Dreamers that examined in 2012 will be able to stay in the US legally .

America Singer a five, in the Illean caste system, has sought out a way to bring back the old America where everyone was equal in society and had the right to stand against the government without being severely punished. The only way to accomplish the task at hand was to make the problem known to the Illean country. In the second book of the series, The Elite, America was assigned a philanthropic project to help the country in some creative, reasonable way. At first, America was having trouble choosing a topic to pursue as her assignment, but when Prince Maxon gave her the journal, an idea popped up and she chooses a very risky topic: destroying the caste system.

The act was supported by the supporters as a needed step in preventing communist invasion in the United States, while the opponents decried, for they thought the legislation was discriminatory. However, this law did relatively little to alter the quota system for immigration into the United States (History.com). Before the act was practiced, immigrants from England, Ireland, and Germany were allotted two thirds of the 154,657 spots available for immigrants each year (History.com). The Asians however, including Chinese, Japanese and Koreans did not receive any of these spots.

The project will ensure the Social Security can fully pay benefits as scheduled for the 75-year projection. The Act moves in the right direction despite its lack to address private retirement saving and decrease social Security’s overall size and scope. President Trump and the Congress are now in an excellent position to ease Americans fears that their benefits will be there for them and those future generations will not have a debt burden. The two must work jointly with ones and for all resolve the Social Security crisis. All that is needed to pass Sam Johnson’s bill is political will.

Volk’s Moral Minorities and the Making of American Democracy, is an incredible study. This book will keeo the attention of the readers today because it is still relevant to our lives today, to a much lesser degree. The people who were involved along with the situations change, but the extremist groups, homosexuals, immigrants, veterans, and ex-cons are all trying to find their role in society. Believe it or not, they are using similar strategies that were used in the 1830 's and 40 's. But, even with all their success, these groups will still face discrimination on their journey for full equality.

The Alien and Sedition Acts are perfect examples of being beneficial, because they were some of the government’s first “power grabs”, and this then made Americans truly stay aware of what decision their representatives made. On the other hand, the internment of Japanese during World War II ultimately had the opposite result. Today, those decisions made back then are embarrassments to all citizens, but some forms of it currently exist. For instance, the 2016 Republican Presidential Candidate, Donald Trump, has contemplated a plan involving the ban of Muslims from the United States to prevent against deadly terrorist attacks. The responses received from the US.

A comparable reason could be the stress on the family. Now in the

Things such as high government workforce, unions, gays/lesbians, illegal alliances, as well as poor people are all seen as negative impacts on the wellbeing of our society in the eyes of republicans. Now looking back at the original 13 colonies that first settled the US, in my opinion, Dahl was correct when he made the claim that a democratic form of government would not work at all. When attempting to start their own country, starting it off as a republican country was absolutely needed

My parents came from another country and made the American culture and way of life their own like other immigrants before them. Because of this I can deal in a unique way with cultural or racial challenges or tensions.   My parents did not let their culture dictate who I am but let it be a part of who I would become.   For that I will always be grateful. I hope that in the future the percentage of Hispanics in my community grows, but my experience of being such an extreme minority in a community close to a major, modern city gives me a truly unique perspective.
