Today we talked about inequality in class, specifically related to the Japanese Internment. To start the lesson one group had all the privileges. They could sit on the couch and answer questions when they wanted to. Another group could only answer in French and had to stand during the lesson.

I think I learn a lot about the iniquity between people. The thing that I found most interesting was that there were ghost towns and people had to go there sometimes . Also I found it unfair to the people that had to stand and talk in French because it's not fair for people to get treated differently or better than others. Like the racism that we talked about in class.

I learned a lot about this, I thought that my table group that sat on the floor the other table groups got to sit in their chairs. This is how all the Japanese Canadiens felt when they were sent to the internment camps. The canadien government were saying that they were spy's but all 22,000 were not. It's iniquity to do that to people.

I think that I learned a lot because it relates to the Japanese how the group that had to stand and speak french while the others groups could sit and speak english. The Japanese felt exactly the same when they were sent to the camps. The government made a very big mistake to all the Japanese and even those who were born in canada. Every single person should be treated the same and have equality

I think that it was unfair for the japanese canadians because they did nothing wrong and they only have a bag full of stuff to live with. Even if the government apologized it still affected them really bad. That why we need equality.

I felt like it was definitely unfair that innocent Japanese Canadians were forced into camps because the government thought they were 'spies', and gave them money and an apology about it. It's nice that they gave an apology, but did they think the money would help/heal the scars they caused from years in inequality? It was really hard listening to personal experiences from this and the effects; it was so sad.

I feel so bad for the Japanese. They were forced to leave their homes and leave all of their stuff behind! I could not believe leaving all of my stuff behind! I felt bad for the people who had to speak french and did not get to sit on any chairs. I can' t imagine how the Japanese felt! That is so sad!

Today's lesson was very deep and emotional. But the world is so bad these days that I have learned to not be surprised. Although the government made an apology, it was still the wrong thing to do. I mean, how can there be 22 000 spies in Canada? They could at least give the stuff back after they got their rights back. I hope this never happens again.

I think that it's wrong for thinking that the Japanese people "were spies"! I think it's wrong for them to do this because they are so inocent and the government had no proof they were spies and I can't believe no one stood up for them! I really hope this never happens again!!!

I feel really bad for the Japanese people. It was so wrong of the government to do that. With or with out an apologie the Japanese people were treated very unfairly and nothing can make that any different.🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵

I felt sorry for the Japanese people who were treated so wrong, I believe in equality and fairness, it shouldn't matter what race you are. I think people should have stood up for them because the Canadian government had no proof that all those Japanese people were spies and most of them were born in Canada. Even though none of the Japanese people were spies, the Canadian government took such a long time to repay them and never returned their belongings, the Canadian government acted very racist toward the Japanese people which is not right at all

i felt bad for the japanese people that had to go into the internment camps because it unfair for them what did they do? Nothing right. But if your scare try to calm down and think of your actions before you destroy other people life. We all human right we should all be treated that same, not like this . Why do that think they are spies? If you have proof you can do that, but no proof equal don't do anything. Think about this you were living a peaceful life and then someone take it away, is not fair isn't it because you did nothing at all .Think before you do and think about their life you can destroy it but you can't rebuild it.

I think I learned a lot about inequality today. I felt sorry for all the Japanese people who had to move away because the government thought they where spy's. I think the table group that had to sit on the floor was a example of the Japanese people who had to move and the group that got sit on the couch was like a average person who was free to do what they wanted.

I think it was unfair to treat the Japanese like that. I know that the inequality between people is important. It's not right to just accuse someone just because you thought they were spys. I'm also really surprised that ghost towns exist.

I felt bad for the Japanese People that was moved out of there homes for no reason. They were also sent to ghost towns which is very bad. I wonder why the goverment would think there was about 22,000 spies and most of them was born in Canada. The Japanese people did not do anything bad and they lost all their homes, stuff and jobs. Then 10 years later the goverment apologized and gave them money. This is very unfair.

I learned about inequality. I think the Japanese people felt the same way as my table group (not equal) we had to stand instead of sit and we had to answer in French instead of English. 😶

I think inequality is important because it shows that they lose everything they had and they had to be sent to ghost towns. I think this is really bad because of the unfairness and what they lose. If we had to do that, I honestly want to refuse to do this, but we would have to do the unfair choice. I think there was loads of people who moved away from Canada, which is totally soo unfair :( . well..... I mean who would do this unfair thing? Who would send them to ghost town? Who would make those people lose all their important stuff? Why? Why would they have to do this? Why would they have to move away for nothing? Why do they have to blame for everything? Why would they have to accuse and why would the government do this? This is so unfair because it doesn't really make sense just to accuse them and make them move away for nothing.

Brid good friend grandmother was in those Japan camp I'm so sorry about that so conclusion I learned a lot of right and freedom and japan camp 😃

I think its very unfair that Japanese people were sent to camps for 7 years in ghost towns with no electricity and limited resources. Equality is very important and if people are not treated equally it should not be acceptable. They should have stood up for themselves. The government was very wrong for treating them like that just because they were Japanese, and thought they were "spies", when they weren't. This is very heartbreaking💔 that people were treated poorly based on their race.🇯🇵

When I learn about the Japanese people and what they went through, the first emotion I felt was unfairness. What did they do to deserve that? They're innocent! Unfairness was also the first emotion I felt when in class, one table group had to stand and speak French while the other table group could sit on the couch. The first question that came to my mind was "why?" Nobody did anything wrong! So I learned about the Japanese and how they were forced out of they're homes and lost everything only because they were suspected of being spies, and with no real proof. I learned that they were sent to internment camps. In the 20,881 people, about 13,000 were born in Canada! It's crazy. The camp started in 1942 and in 1949, the rights were given back to the Japanese and their family's. I was just thinking, how could it take the government 7 years to realize what they've did wrong? Anyway, this class teached me a lot and I hope the government never does anything so stupid. I know, that was a long time ago, but I hope the government will remember their mistakes. <3

I think when I learned this topic I think that it was not unfair for one group to sit on the couch and another group to sit on their knees and only speak French. I think that it wasn't there either that the Japanese Canadians had to go to a ghost town and stay in the interment camp.

I think it was unfair for the table to get the couch and the other has to stand and only could respond in French. They were just chosen randomly so that did do anything wrong or right. I think that's what the Japanese felt. That they were randomly accused of being spies and was put in an internment camp with no evidence at all.

It was horrible for the government to take away things from such innocent people and they never even gave it back. For those people to have to live in towns with no water or electricity was a terrible thing.

it was really horrible to take away stuff from all these really innocent citizens and they would never give it back to them. I also feel really sorry that they did not had any probably clean and fresh water, good shelter and electricity so they cant see properly or be freezing.
