In order to work together, humans often need to find common values. Because of this, cultures emerge whenever you have isolated groups of people who are forced to work together for a long time. Whenever two cultures meet, one will likely find the other strange, as they are used to different traditions and values.

Certain American values can make them appear strange, and make us appear strange to them. For instance, American culture is known for its strong patriotism. School children are made to recite a pledge of allegiance to the country. This seems strange to someone in England where such a thing doesn't exist. But then not having a pledge of allegiance might seem strange to an American!

There are many other things which set Americans apart from other cultures, and can make them appear strange (and make other cultures appear strange to them). These include high rates of Christianity, a "bigger is better" tradition, and certain political documents many believe to be set in stone such as the constitution and the Bill of Rights.

How did the attack on Pearl Harbor changed the relationship between Japanese Americans and the public as a whole?

After the bombing the Americans, thinking that the Japanese Americans could be spies, set up some mini camps and sent them there. So to simplify my answer the public had little to no interaction to the Japanese Americans after the bombing. The strange thing is, though, there were no camps in Hawaii during this event.

A sentence with the word strange?

How strange that so many example sentences submitted are not sentences at all. The strange thing is, not the sentences, but the people who decide to submit an example sentence without any punctuation or proper capitalization. That is very strange to me.
