Throughout history there have been many examples of man's inhumanity to his fellowman. The Holocaust, Slavery and the treatment of the Native Americans are three examples that come to mind - there are many more. Do you think we have learnt anything from these awful events in history or are we destined to see modern day examples of these events repeated?

ooby_dooby: Good question! Some will learn and some won't. The ones who will learn from history are the ones who were affected by it in the past such as the jews. They will never allow themselves to be serial numbered or be made to sew a star of david on the coat ever again.

thumbs up thumbs up thumbs up
And what have we in the U.S. learned, or ignored?

Yes this is true...I am not so sure everyone has learned though that doesn't know what it's like...it's all just hidden behind political correctness and justification these days....and in different forms...wave wink thumbs up

Some don't give a crap and if they were given the power they would do about any of the horrible things again from the past just to feel big and powerful for their self.doh

Even though these events happened in the past e.g. Holocaust, I wonder how much differently we would have handled these same situations had they occured now in modern times? Many say never again but there are so many examples of this same inhumanity towards others still going on today.

As we have seen from so many examples in history, that standing up often means putting your life and sometimes your family's life at risk to do what is right.

Yes we have learnt from history but I dont think it will necessarily stop us making the same mistakes.......

Human Nature and its inherent greed and lust for power will always be with us unfortunately........

As my freshman year in High School History Teacher (Mr. Moore) said every day. Those who fail to learn history are destine to repeat it.

That's very true...BUT those who live in fear will never create change either....things need to be done in spite of...so that someday there is no longer any need to be fearful....wave wink thumbs up
