Judgment, Relativism, and Morality

Write an Official Memo to (then) President Franklin D. Roosevelt taking a position, and objectively defending your position, on the interment of Americans of Japanese descent in confinement campus during World War 2. Include one paragraph which examines parallels between the treatment of Americans of Japanese descent in 1940’s to modern Americans who practice the Islamic faith. The memo word count should be one page: no more than 350 words. Place yourself in the role of deciding whether to place Americans of Japanese descent into internment camps (1940’s). Recognize how complexity, the war (Pearl Harbor), and fear lead to these events. Review the actual documents and arguments of the United States government in favor of incarceration.
