The dinner where you will face your fears by meeting your enemies and eating food you hate

Japanese American Memorial to Patriotism During
World War II. It is made to commemorate the
experience of American citizens of Japanese ancestry
who treated unfairly. I think it's important to add this because
it shows that the United States acknowledges that what they did
was wrong. 




This is the Bainbridge Island Japanese American Exclusion Memorial
Just like the previous one, I think it is important to understand
the acknowledgement of the United States that they did something wrong.

I would bring the remains of the USS Arizona, a ship that was destroyed
in the attacks of Pearl Harbor. As the theme of my dinner is facing your fears,
I feel that it is important to for everyone at the dinner to understand just how
the ordeal of the Japanese internment camps began.
I would also bring a copy of order 9066 enacted by President
Franklin D. Roosevelt that started everything. It makes me wonder
if something like this could be accepted today. President Trump attempted
something similar with the laws against middle eastern country immigration

If I could bring anything to the dinner, I would bring
a picture of Japanese internment camp to show to my guests the living conditions
 they lived in.





Dr. Seuss  was surprisingly anti-Japanese during WW2 and worked
on political cartoons during that time. This is one that basically shows the intentions
of Japanese citizens all depicted with the same basic look. They are coming from
different states then taking their TNT and hoping to undermine and take over America
as part of the 5th Column.
This political cartoon was made in 1941 just after Pearl Harbor
in the United States against Japan. It's an
ironic statement made towards the intentions of Japanese.

This newspaper, from The Detroit Tribune printed on May 23, 1942, is a very good representation of
racism and animosity Americans felt towards Japanese citizens. It is essentially a political cartoon with some
added text that further convinces the public that since they are already doomed, so they
 should buy War Bonds.

\ \ https://www.theatlantic.com/sexes/archive/2012/11/vote-no-on-womens-suffrage-bizarre-reasons-for-not-letting-women-vote/264639/ After reading The Atlantic, the reason many "voted no" to the idea of giving women the right to vote in the first place is because 90% of women either "did not want it" or did" not care." I'm not exactly sure why many women didn't care. This may be due to the culture of that time where women mainly stayed inside the house, so possibly many of the politics that they would be voting for would not have an effect on them. The Atlantic continued to state that 80% of women eligible to vote are married. As a result, many of the women would just be emulated the husband's vote having essentially net effect of zero in voting percentages. The article then continues on to say that giving women the opportunity for women to vote would result in competition between men and women ins...

American Indian Alcoholism

One of the most pressing issues in Native American society is alcoholism. Around 42% of Native Americans that start to abuse alcohol, will continue to do so the rest of their life. On top of this 12% of all Native American deaths are due to alcohol use. The most common deaths by alcohol include traffic accidents driving under the influence and liver disease, which contribute to over 25% of alcoholic-related deaths. This is over 3 times the national average at 3.3%. Not only does this affect the lives of themselves, but alcohol is a major part in many other afflicting issues, like violence, rape, and suicide.  Native American Alcoholism Prevalence Compared to Other Races American Indians, unlike other cultures that have been in contact with the consumption of alcohol for thousands of years, have only been in contact with alcohol for a few hundreds of years. As a result, in comparison to the rest of the world, Native Americans have had less time for their bodies to deve...

Progress:  Progress is the development or movement to an end goal. From my knowledge, the Progressive Era is the time period between the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 1920's that is know for the social reformed and political activism.  The Progressive Reforms addressed the economic, political and cultural questions that came with the new age of Industrial revolution, eliminating problems caused by  industrialization, urbanization, immigration, and corruption. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_Era 1.
