1) Race and Culture. To Summarize; Race is hereditary, and culture acquired. Races of man today are not “pure” and there is great variability in physical appearance and intelligence within any racial group. The all-important factor in determining adult behavior is early education, i.e., the cultural background of an individual. Further, even in what is regarded as one culture (e.g. American), important differences in personality develop as a result of growth in different regional areas and in different social levels of society.

2) Behavior Patterns as Found Among Issei and Some Others in Relocation Centers. – The Go-Between – Sharing Responsibility – Project Head’s Position – Modes of Employment – Anxieties – Food – Evacuee Attitudes. To Summarize; Older Japanese have a number of patterns of behavior, a knowledge of which is useful in project administration. First, there is the desire to avoid face-to-face embarrassment through the use of a go-between. Second, there is a desire to avoid personal responsibility (and so invoke censure against oneself) and a consequent tendency toward group responsibility and, in committees, unanimous decisions, and rotating office holding. Thirdly, there is the tradition of accepting as true what the government head, (in this case the project head) says in regard to government policy. But to be a successful government head one must give out the policy personally and so accept responsibility for it. Finally, in all dealings with evacuees it is well to be aware of the anxieties and attitudes which are prevalent in the center among all groups; and the need to become personally acquainted with these in order to lessen tensions that might lead to serious consequences.
