From the Paper
"This paper discusses the character Naomi in the novel "Obasan" by Joy Kogawa. Naomi is an example of a Canadian, who, due to her Japanese heritage, is exiled from her home in Vancouver, British Columbia and sent to the ghost town of Slocan. Along with members of her family, Naomi experiences repeated harassment and cruelty from others, including the Canadian government. Due to Naomi's difficult living conditions, as well as the disappearance of her mother, Naomi's character is affected, as well as her role throughout the novel. The Japanese-Canadians during World War II were gradually stripped of all their rights."

Abstract
This paper examines prejudice attitudes towards Japaneses Canadians and Americans. It claims that they often report experiencing estrangement and 'identity denial' by their fellow citizens. The paper draws upon history and literature to illustrate this phenomenon. It discusses the Japanese internment in the US during WWII, Sapna Cheryan and Benoit Monin's article "Where are You Really From? - Asian Americans and Identity Denial", and Joy Kogawa's novel "Obasan".
From the Paper
"Prejudice may still exist in Canada concerning people of Japanese descent, along with occasional prejudice faced by all newer communities, as may be part of the human process of resettlement, as in Irish immigrants or yore to face considerable ostracism as did members of some Eastern European communities. Early arrivals from China certainly faced ostracism and in central Canada report that they no longer feel a 'visible' minority, the community having developed over time its place in the mainstream, distinction remaining between persons of Chinese origin long established in Canada or those seen as recent arrivals. The point made is that some differentiation or exclusion may be part of the way of the world, more than overt racism, significant only if it produces direct abuse as opposed to exclusion. Then again Kogawa refers to a British Columbia where anti-Japanese and just anti-East Asian racism does seem to have been in place. World War II and the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour had pitched feeling against a visible and concentrated community that was not well known to others and suspected of pro-Japanese sympathies. The day was one of racialist thought too, distinct from racism, and lingering belief in a 'yellow peril' resulting from unregulated Asian immigration. Films, hearsay and ordinary ignorance encouraged a generalizing of Asian peoples as though all engaged in secret society activities, in a Fu Manchu motif carried from people of one origin to another."

Abstract
This paper argues that some of the actions of the United States were just as morally corrupt as those of the Axis powers during WWII. Similar to the Nazi?s imprisonment of Jews in Europe, the U.S. government imprisoned Japanese Americans on the West Coast. The paper argues that the internment of Japanese was more of an act of racism than actual perceived threat. The author of the paper is of the opinion that the internment of Japanese in 1942 was a decision motivated by race rather than defensive strategy. It chronicles the events leading up to the internment, the presence of racism before and after the bombing of Pearl Harbor and concludes by comparing the imprisonment of Japanese in America with the current war on terrorism.
From the Paper
"Racism against the Japanese people living in the U.S. was not a result of the bombing of Pearl Harbor, but rather something that had been built up over time. The media and government for decades before the onset of World War II targeted Japanese and Chinese. California, in particular, passed laws and approved regulations aimed at slowing Japanese immigration into the state (Daniels 10). As early as 1905, California politicians and media were denouncing the Japanese as ?undesirable,? and ?transient? (Daniels 10)."

"During World War II, the United States interned Japanese residents of the Western states in internment camps such as that at Manzanar in California. The reason was indicated in Executive Order 9066, signed in 1942 by President Roosevelt to give authority to the War Department to define military areas in the western states and to exclude anyone who might be seen as threatening the war effort (Houston and Houston xi-xii). Japanese living in the Western states were seen as potential subversives and were summarily removed to camps to prevent this. The camps operated until after the surrender of Japan, though the U.S. Supreme Court ruled at the end of 1944 that loyal citizens could not be held in detention camps against their will (Houston and Houston, 1973, xii). The United States was wrong to place any Japanese who had not committed any offense into these..."

From the Paper
"Within the Japanese cuisine, there contains many strange meals but there are myriads of delights that would make anybody?s tastes buds melt. Coming from a Japanese decent I have tried many of these tasty meals, but I would not take it too an extreme to say that I drink ?snakes blood for longevity?(Steinberg 6). Japanese meals are actually considered very healthy and low fat considered to the traditional American, southern fried chicken. Japanese food is served in little portions and displayed in a very exciting way to liven up every aspect of each savory bite. To liven up these dishes we often cut vegetables or fruits into tiny designs or animals, or organize each piece of meat and each small vegetable in a way that flatters the plate. Cutting and Slicing, mostly vegetables into meticulous designs, makes a dish its own work of art. "

Abstract
This paper is a comparative review of three books on the subject of Japanese atrocities and war crimes during the Second World War. The three books to be compared are Yoshimi Yoshiaki's 'Comfort Women: Sexual Slavery in the Japanese Military During World War II', Judith Pearson's' Belly of the Beast: A POW's Inspiring True Story of Faith, Courage, and Survival Aboard the Infamous WWII Japanese Hellship', the Oryoku Maru, and Yuki Tanaka's 'Hidden Horrors: Japanese War Crimes in World War II'. Although all three of these books deal with related subject matter, they take very different approaches, thus casting light on the subject matter from different directions.

From the Paper
"This paper will examine the political, social, and economic issues surrounding the imprisonment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. On December 7, 1941, the nation of Japan launched an attack on Pearl Harbor, an American military base located in the Hawaiian islands. As a result of this attack, the United States government declared war on Japan. In the coming months, many Americans began to fear that Japanese-Americans living in the western United States might be involved in espionage to help their home nation win the war. There was no evidence to support this fear. Rather, it was the result of racist feelings which had arisen in response to the war. Nevertheless, politicians throughout the United States began urging the President to pass a bill which would forcibly remove all Japanese-Americans from the west coast for the duration of the war. One of the leaders of ... "

From the Paper
"This study will consider a number of elements of the "submissive" middle class in Japanese society as described and analyzed in Karel van Wolferen's "The Enigma of Japanese Power".
The basis of much of the power and order of Japan in the world in the late years of the 20th century is what van Wolferen calls the "submissive" nature of that society. As the author notes, "The post-war aims of the Japanese System have been entrusted mainly to the economic organizations. The System is preoccupied with industrial and commercial pursuits.. " And industrial and commercial pursuits are successful because of submissive and obedient workers, who are modeled on the "salaryman" model.
As the author writes, " . . . The term 'salaryman' connotes much more than 'office clerk' or 'white-collar worker'; it stands ... "

Abstract
The field of women's rights is now becoming more and more important in the world today. Japan, as the first country in Asia to become a super power, has been through a lot since the end of WWII and the issue of women's rights in Japan is no exception. This paper is an analysis on Japanese women's issues after WWII from different perspectives including cultural, social and historical perspectives.
From the Paper
"These main characteristics of the changing role of women in Japan in its population stability, educational improvement and employment issues show an effective result of governmental acts and non-governmental organization's efforts. By providing equal laws and rights, establishing equal development strategies, founding of the National Machinery for the Promotion of Gender Equality, as well as promoting democratic orientation, the Japanese government and NGOs have elevated the role of women in Japanese society."

Abstract
This essay is a discussion of how great a role coercion played in the enforcement of Japanese imperialism in Asia. The paper focuses on the Japanese occupation of Korea, while also alluding to other areas that the Japanese controlled. Various examples of coercion are presented and discussed at length.
From the Paper
"In the course of Japanese imperialism, the Japanese used coercion extensively to maintain their rule, but also employed some other methods at times. Their coercive policies were often harsh and brutal, with the Japanese authorities refusing to relent until their goals had been reached. In certain instances, however, they allowed their subjects to have some level of choice in matters like education and employment. In response to the Korean Independence Movement that developed after World War I, for example, the Japanese appeared to ?return to the Koreans a modicum of personal choice? and allowed them to publish their own newspapers, create their own schools, and to be employed in the government (Kang, 15). Such concessions certainly existed outside the realm of coercive policies, even though they were somewhat cosmetic in nature. The people were still often subjected to the same horrid treatment and the same unreasonable regulations that they had become familiar with from the coercive rule of the Japanese, but there were glimpses of light that shone through the dark cloud of Japanese rule."

Abstract
This paper documents a study that has been conducted for the purpose of understanding why the rates of breast cancer differ between Japanese women living in the United States compared to those living in Japan. The examination of risk factors associated with the rapid fluctuation of breast cancer incidence rates in Japanese women in the United States and those in Japan may help to explain differences. The paper offers methodology, data collection and analysis. It also gives a clear conclusion of the findings of the research and recommendations for further research on this topic.

From the Paper
"Meta-analysis begins with estimation of the success rates of treatment and control arms of multiple separate trials through use of a separate 2 X 2 table for each trial. At the point in time that the researcher is convinced that the trials are "sufficiently uniform in design and methods that pooling their results makes clinical sense, a statistical test for homogeneity is used to help decide whether pooling results makes statistical sense." (Gilbert, 2005) After having made the decision that the "studies are sufficiently homogeneous to be combinable, the effect measure has been chosen, and a fixed- or random-effects technique is adopted, the calculations required to perform a meta-analysis are quite simple, usually through use of statistical software."
