Weak Example Frustration-aggression hypothesis states that ethnic prejudice develop from people’s need to cope with the frustration in their daily lives (class notes).

Problem 1-definiton not in your own words or with quotation marks around it Problem 2- no researched details about the example

Strong Example Frustration-aggression hypothesis states that ethnic prejudice starts from people needing find a group to blame for the frustration they feel (class notes). The Frustration-aggression hypothesis is illustrated by the Japanese Americans being sent to internment camps after the bombing of Pearl Harbor by Japan during World War II. When Japan bombed Pearl Harbor many people in our country developed an instant prejudice against the Japanese-American citizens living in United States. The American government assumed that the Japanese-Americans were spies and none of them could be trusted, so they confined the Japanese- Americans to internment camps under Executive Order 9066 (Siasoco and Shmuel, 2011). The Japanese- Americans faced prejudice and discrimination in their communities. The United States government ruled that denying Japanese- Americans their constitutional rights was necessary to protect America from espionage. Japanese Americans were forcibly removed from their communities, families, homes, businesses, and properties (Roberts, 2008).
