Podczas II wojny światowej rząd Stanów Zjednoczonych przymusowo uwięził ponad 120 000 Amerykanów pochodzenia japońskiego tylko za to, że są pochodzenia japońskiego. Ten plan lekcji skupia się na tym często pomijanym rozdziale historii USA podczas nauczania o II wojnie światowej w klasie.
Uczniowie mogą zapoznać się ze słownictwem i ważnymi terminami podczas studiowania wydarzeń historycznych, aby pomóc im nadać kontekst. Ten scenariusz koncentruje się również na eufemizmach stosowanych przez rząd USA i media do opisu uwięzienia Amerykanów pochodzenia japońskiego podczas II wojny światowej, zachęcając uczniów do przeanalizowania znaczenia słów w celu dokładnego opisania wydarzeń historycznych.

WYMUSZONE USUWANIE a „EWAKUACJA”
INCARCERATION vs. "INTERNMENT"
(n.) A mild or indirect word or expression substituted for one considered to be too harsh or blunt when referring to something unpleasant or embarrassing.
In 1942, Executive Order 9066 permitted the government to forcibly remove Japanese Americans from their homes and into concentration camps. The orders were carried out by soldiers. It was called an "evacuation”, implying that it was a precaution for safety.
"Internment" is commonly used to describe what happened to Japanese Americans during World War II. A more accurate term is "incarceration". Thousands of people who had committed no crimes were denied due process, forced out of their homes, and confined in prisons for nearly four years.
JAPANESE AMERICAN vs. "JAPANESE"
JAPANESE AMERICAN INCARCERATION IN WWII
CONCENTRATION CAMPS vs. "RELOCATION CENTERS"
Most people imprisoned had lived in the U.S. for decades or were born in the U.S. The media and government often referred to them as "Japanese”, erasing their American identity and conflating Japanese Americans with citizens in Japan as a strategy to prey on fears to justify the E.O.
The camps were called "assembly or relocation centers" but were surrounded by a fence and guarded by military police. "Assembly" or "Relocation" implies gathering by choice. Japanese Americans were prisoners. They committed no crimes, but were forced to remain in the camps.
