Rigths,Duties and Responsibilities.

1. Rights are the things that you born with. For example you have the right to respect, to vote, to make your opinion, to speech, and to almost do what ever you like.

2. Duties are the things that you have to do. For example you have the duties to pay taxes, to required by law to defending the nation, and to attending school.

3. Responsibilities are the things that you can choose whether or not. For example you can choose to vote, to not required by law to fulfilled our responsibilities.

4.Democracy is a government based on a written constitution and laws made by representatives elected by people.

5. Korematsu VS. United States was a men called Korematsu that in the Word War 2 when the United States sent to the people that are Japanese for one part. They sent to concentrations camps and when the United States want to sent he to the concentrations camps he said No and protect because he was an American, but his parents was Japanese.

6.I am disagree with the Supreme Court decision in Korematsu VS. United States because if he born in the United States and his parent in Japan that is not mean that he is not an American because he is an American and he had the right and responsibilities to say not I don’t want to go. And also if he born in the United States he have the right and laws that every citizen born in the United States and he don’t had the rights and laws of Japan because he is not an Japanese.

7. In my opinion the U.S. government have the ability for one part and for another part not to take away rights during the time of war in both (aliens and U.S. citizens). I like for one part in both (aliens and U.S. citizens) because I know the U.S. government is protected us going for that not happen something bad to us, but not protect us going to concentrations camps, or going to jail because this is something horrible. I don’t like for the another part because some people that are U.S. citizens they think that are the best because they are white’s people and they could treating bad to alien’s people because they born in another country and also I think that if they have to take away rights during time of war they could start with the U.S. citizens because they born in the United States and they had to do that thing that the U.S. government said because the duties, rights, and laws of the U.S. government, but that not include the people or child that born in U.S. and her parents are Latinos or alien. Then the U.S. government will go with the alien’s people because they don’t born in U.S., and also if his parents are alien they born in another country and also they will get the probability to say not if they want. That’s what I think.

Right: the rights to which every person is born and defends us in life.

Duties: the duties to which they are rules of law, that law if the person do what the law says it is mandatory

Responsibilities: Responsibilities are optional things in which one chooses to do for the good of the common citizen.

Democracy is when people vote to choose their ruler.

5). Korematsu was a citizen who had been unidense Japanese physical traits by their forefathers, the United States was at war with Japan, and all the Japanese people with Japanese features placed them in concentration camps because it was law, but refused to go to that place because the American was born in the United States.

6). Korematsu Both because it is American but also Japanese not only by physical features, if not because their generation was Japanese and that Japan also makes it right but the American had to be American

7). No, because laas people have rights that protect them, because these were created to defend our views.

A). No, because they are not citizens but the government has no right to remove the right

B). Not because the American people, not citizens, all have rights and nobody can deny

Nirorkis,

You need to use more of the vocabulary words in part B.

Mr. PPD

Mr. Pitts-Dilley said...

Gabriela,

Here is your feedback.

Pay attention to the spellings of

WITH (con)
Through (via)
BECAUSE (not cause)

Your definitions were very good.

5. Question: Why did Korematsu refused to move?

6. You mean Japanese. What was the Supreme Court’s justification for imprisoning Japanese Americans?

7. Good work. Remember that all countries are proper nouns and the first letter should be capitalized United States

Pay attention to my grammar and spelling comments. Check your grade online and answer my questions for a better grade. Also, try to use more vocabulary words.

Mr. PPD

Mr. Pitts-Dilley said...

Yerrisca,

This is your feedback. Please read carefully and answer my questions for a better grade.

I did not ask for the definition of citizen or citizenship.

Rights: Good examples but no definition. What does the word rights mean?

Good job on the definition of duty.

Responsibility: You did not give me a definition for responsibility. What does the word responsibility mean?

Good definition for democracy.

5. You did not tell me why Korematsu sued (took to court) the U.S. government.

a. What were Japanese internment Camps?
b. Why was Korematsu arrested?

6. Yo no entiendo su respuesta. Trate de contestar mas una vez y trate de utilizar las palabras de vocabulario.

7. La ultima respuesta no tiene nada que haber con la pregunta.
a. En su opinión, si el gobierno de los Estados Unidos deberia tener el derecho de sacar los derechos de extranjeros durante tiempos de guerra? Por que o por que no?
b. En su opinión si el gobierno de los Estados Unidos deberia tener el derecho de sacar los derechos de ciudadanos americanos durante tiempos de guerra?

Good job on the definition of duty.

3. You cannot choose whatever you want in a democracy. You cannot use illegal drugs. Try to define democracy one more time.

Question: What is a democracy?

4. There is no legal obligation for responsibilities. Try to define responsibilities in English.

5. Good job on question 5.

Question: What were Japanese Internment camps?

6. Me conteste la pregunta en espanol. I did not understand.

7. I do not understand your point. Please answer these two questions again. Look at Yerrisca’s feedback for the questions translation into Spanish.

Mr. Pitts-Dilley said...

Brankely,

I am very impressed with your work and your progress in the English language. Here is your feedback. Please read it carefully and answer my questions for a better grade.

Rigths,Duties and Responsibilities.

Your part A (definitions) is phenomenal! Great job! No questions!

5. Technically these camps were called internment and not concentration camps (but they mean the same thing).

Question: How did the U.S. government justify putting Japanese Americans and Japanese immigrants in jail?

6. Either say, I am disagreeing or I disagree. Great work and I agree with you. Great argument!

7. Government is singular (government is, does and has not are, do and have)…

Excellent and thoughtful ideas, however, Supreme Court justices have to say yes or no. I am not sure you did.

Question: If you had to pick what would you have chosen? Why?

Answer my questions for an A+ and 5% points in last week’s exam

Mr. Pitts-Dilley said...

Blanca,

This is your feedback. Please read it carefully and answer my questions for a better grade.

You did a great work on the definitions of rights, duties and responsibilities. You said that “democracy is when people vote to choose their ruler(s)”. This is actually the definition of a republic. It is similar, but not quite the same.

Question: What is a democracy?

5. Great explanation. You mean Japanese-America and not “unidense Japanese”.

Question: What happened to Korematsu when he refused to move to the Japanese Internment Camps?

Physical traits by their forefathers, the United States was at war with Jap

6. I am not sure you answer the question.

a. What was the Supreme Court decision?
b. Do you agree or disagree with the Supreme Court’s decision?

7. Ok.

You should try to use more vocabulary words and expand on your answers.

Democracy is a form of government in which power is held directly or indirectly by citizens under a free electoral system.

Korematsu went to the Supreme Court to decide whether if he go to the concentration camp or not.

Supreme Court is the highest ranking of all the courts, and has the final word of law.

Disagree, because it was an american citizen, and people do not have to be judged by their physical appearance.
