When you used the word "comformity", that word reminded me of the book/movie "the Boy in the Stripes Pajamas." This book/movie is about the Jew concentration camps, which took place in 1943. In this book/movie, some scenes take place at the camps that the Jew were held in. The audience is able to see how all the Jews are dressed the same uniform and had the same features: bald haircut, stripes pajamas, and very weak. The audience can also see their personalities.

    A few months after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, President Franklin Roosevelt who was under significant pressure from the mass hysteria that ensued after this bombing issued an order to round up the Japanese population on the Pacific Coast. This moved the Japanese population of those states inland to internment camps until after the war ended. Many of those Japanese who were rounded up to these camps were American citizens.

Both African American slaves and Japanese Americans held in internment camps along with, young Caucasians have all used sport and physical activity to accomplish three goals. These cultural groups have all used sport and physical activity to build community, achieve recognition and distract themselves from their current situations.

With no actual evidence supporting the creation of internment camps, the U.S. forced Japanese Americans into camps because of Japanese involvement in Pearl Harbor leading to a rise in anti-Japanese paranoia sparked by economic success of Japanese-Americans, fear and prejudice erupting within the United States…
