Repeated History

• History repeats itself, thats a fact
• Example The treatment of the Japanese Americans
  during WWII vs. the treatment of the Afghani
  Americans after Sept. 11
• Both were races persecuted after a terrible
  attack on America by person(s) of the same race
• Yet after realizing the mistakes we made with the
  Chinese we still are carrying out similar acts of
  discrimination with the Afghani people

How can we prevent it?

• We must look at our past mistakes for answers
• Example If you miss a problem on a test
• You go back and figure out what you did wrong
• Then you dont repeat the same mistake twice
• Americans must look at our past and not repeat
  ourselves no matter how desperate the situation.
• Another way to prevent discrimination is to never
  hold prejudice against a human being for how they
  look, dress, or live there every day life.

What is prejudice?

• An opinion, judgment, preference, or conception
  formed without knowing or examining the facts.
• Basically prejudice is the prejudgment of another
  human being before knowing who the person really
  is
