The document provides information about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War 2. It includes a timeline of key events from 1941 to 1943, such as the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the establishment of internment camps. It discusses life before internment, the conditions in the camps including buildings and food, and important figures like Franklin D. Roosevelt who authorized the internment via executive order despite stating that kindness does not weaken a nation. The internment violated the human rights of Japanese Americans and caused them great hardship despite their loyalty to the United States.
LEAGUE OF NATIONS: THE MANCHURIAN CRISIS.
The Manchurian Crisis 1931-1933 followed the Mukden Incident in which Japanese rail tracks were destroyed in an explosion. The issue was investigated by the League of Nations which found Japan to be at fault. The Japanese ignored the League of Nations and left the organisation.
Covers key events in the presidency of John Adams, including the Quasi-War, the passage of the Alien and Sedition Acts, and the development of strict constructionist and broad constructionist interpretations of the United States Constitution.

The Journey
I was captured by the Fascist Militia on December
13, 1943. I was twenty four, with little wisdom, no
experience,
and a decided tendency encouraged by the
life of segregation forced on me for the previous four
years by the racial laws to live in an unrealistic world
of my own, a world inhabited by civilized Cartesian phan-
toms, by sincere male and bloodless fmale friendships.
I cultivated a moderate and abstract sense of rebellion.
It had been by no means easy to flee into the mountains
and to help set up what, both in my opinion and in that
of friends little more experienced than myself, should
have become a
partisan
band affiliated with the Resistance
movement Justice and Liberty. Contacts, arms, money and
the experience
needed to acquire them were all missing.
We lacked capable men, and instead we were swamped
by a deluge of outcasts,
in good or bad faith, who came
from the
plain
in search of a non-existent military or
political organization,
of arms, or merely of protection,
a hiding place,
a fire, a pair
of shoes.
At that time I had not yet been taught the doctrine
If This is a Man
I was later to learn so hurriedly in the Lager: that man
is bound to pursue his own ends by all possible means,
while he who errs but once
pays dearly. So that I can
only consider the following sequence of events justified.
Three Fascist Militia
companies, which had set out in
the night to surprise a much more powerful and dangerous
band than ours, broke into our refuge one spectral snowy
dawn and took me down to the valley as a suspect
person.
During the interrogations that followed, I preferred
to admit my status of
"
Italian citizen of Jewish race."
I felt that otherwise I would be unable to
justify my
presence in places too secluded even for an evacuee;
while I believed (wrongly as was subsequently seen) that
the admission of my political activity would have meant
torture and certain death. As a Jew, I was sent to Fossoli,
near Modena, where a vast detention camp, originally
meant for English and American prisoners-of-war,
collected all the numerous categories of people not
approved of by the new-born Fascist Republic.
At the moment of my arrival, that is, at the end of
January, 1944, there were about one hundred and fif ...

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Francesca Gottschalk - How can education support child empowerment.pptxEduSkills OECD
Francesca Gottschalk from the OECD’s Centre for Educational Research and Innovation presents at the Ask an Expert Webinar: How can education support child empowerment?
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

8. THAT D*MNED FENCE
They've sunk the posts deep into the ground
They've strung out wires all the way around.
With machine gun nests just over there,
And sentries and soldiers everywhere. We're trapped like rats
in a wired cage,
To fret and fume with impotent rage;
Yonder whispers the lure of the night,
But that D*MNED FENCE assails our sight.
We seek the softness of the midnight air,
But that D*MNED FENCE in the floodlight glare
Awakens unrest in our nocturnal quest,
And mockingly laughs with vicious jest.
With nowhere to go and nothing to do,
We feed terrible, lonesome, and blue:
That D*MNED FENCE is driving us crazy,
Destroying our youth and making us lazy.
Imprisoned in here for a long, long time,
We know we're punished--though we've committed no crime,
Our thoughts are gloomy and enthusiasm damp,
To be locked up in a concentration camp.
Loyalty we know, and patriotism we feel,
To sacrifice our utmost was our ideal,
To fight for our country, and die, perhaps;
But we're here because we happen to be Japs.
We all love life, and our country best,
Our misfortune to be here in the west,
To keep us penned behind that D*MNED FENCE,
Is someone's notion of NATIONAL DEFENCE!

theme human rights
because America
placed them in

without considering
their rights such as
