Imagine you are a journalist in the USA in 1942. You have just found out about the internment of the Japanese. Explain: 1. How you could write a very controversial article, and what you could put in it. 2. Why you probably wouldn't do this.
1. JAPANESE ARE PUT IN INTERNMENT CAMPS
Earlier today it was announced that all Japanese-Americans will be placed in internment camps so that should the Japanese come attack the United States of America, the Japanese-Americans will not be able to help them. This is a disgrace. America is putting innocent people who will not be any danger to our safety for no justifiable reason. We are encamping people that have done nothing wrong and just leaving them there to fend for themselves. Has no one thought about the fact that their lives are being ruined because of this? While we are keeping them locked up, at home they are losing their jobs and businesses and their families are going to suffer when they are let out of these camps. America is being a disappoinment in this war and making itself out to be horrible people because of this.
2. The reason this article would never be put in a newspaper is because Americans would be unhappy and claim that this would be a revolution against the war and think that the author hates America.
