I believe the people in the 21st century should judge the actions governments took during WWII because there is always something to learn. The actions of WWII were very disturbing and some people might not want to know what was going on but you have to in order to fully understand and feel why it was so wrong. without the judgement of the past we would still be overcoming those obstacles today. Meaning understanding the wrong decisions people made during WWII prevents people now from doing the same thing.

After examining all the information retained in the past lesson, Yes, I believe that people in the 21st century have the right to judge the actions the government took in WWII. As time progresses it is very important to reflex on the past and to look at the effects certain actions had on someone or something, whether it be negative or positive there is always something to learn and take away from the past. In specific to WWII, the judgment call made from new president, Harry to release not one but two atomic bombs that took over 400 000 civilian lives  is one to look back on. This was a war that was fought very aggressively and one to learn from.  As the war is over now, and we stand in the 21st century, we can learn, Judge and adapt to acknowledge our mistakes in the past.

I believe that people in the 21st century have a right to judge the past actions that our government and other governments took during the war. This is because since we live in newer times some of the acts of discrimination during the wars would never pass or could never happen now. For example the acts of discrimination towards Japanese Canadians during the war should never happen in newer times. In my opinion we also can judge because we've learned from their past mistakes to further our understanding of the war. By us judging WWII we can learn and try to not repeat the past history. Furthermore proving the point that the people of the 21st century have the right to judge the actions by government during WWII in the past.

I believe it is right to judge people and the actions the government took during world war II. I think it was right to judge because we can look in the past at the decisions the government made and learned from them, We can also judge them because some of there actions resulted in innocent citizens suffering.

In my opinion, we can judge people in the past for the actions during World War two. Although it was along time ago it is still disgusting what has happened. Many of the choices the government made during World War 2 hurt millions of people. I think judging the government has also lead to less of a tolerance for unfair decisions which is very beneficial for political movements now.

I believe it is right for people in the 21st Century to judge the actions governments took during World War ll. It is very necessary and important for us to look back and see how each government reacted to learn from our past. We will never be able to fully understand what those people felt, but we can have a general knowledge and understanding. Learning from our histoty is very beneficial as we will hopefully learn from our mistakes so we never repeat it again and grow as each country does better.

I believe that it is right for people in the 21st century to judge the actions governments took during World War II. We can judge them because of their actions that caused innocent people lots of pain and suffering. Even though we can't understand what they were living through and their experiences, we can still look back today and understand that there were better options and better ways to deal with the issues. Looking back also lets us realize that what they did was bad and looking back helps us not make similar decisions.

I believe that to a certain extent people in the 21st century are allowed to judge the action took during World War II as they are allowed to have their own opinions based on our knowledge we have today vs the knowledge they had back then though we should try and remember that it was a different time and they aren't as knowledgeable on certain subjects as we are now, and their conditions were different and they weren't able to access the same resources we can. Overall they should be able to judge their actions but shouldn't forget the difference in our times as we have advanced because we have learnt from their mistakes.

I think that it is right for people in the 21st century to judge the actions governments took during World War II. Even though we will never understand how life was back then completely, we can judge their actions and compare what we would do in the present day. This promotes discussion where even better ideas can arise. Before making big decisions now, the government can examine and judge a similar decision in the past to help them make the best choice for the present. Doing this allows us not to repeat actions with bad outcomes.

I believe that for the most part people can judge the government's actions during World War 2. We can judge on how they acted and there decisions, along with the pain and horror you could say they caused. We can continue to talk about there choices but we can also find ways not to make the same mistakes, people did not have any much of a voice back then but now we can be the change and make sure we do not repeat what has happened.

I belive that people in the 21st centry arent able to judge people in during WWII because there was way more things going on in the background, rather then judging we should learn and understand. we should be able to studie and analize the reasons some of their actions took place and recognise that sometimes there was no other option, yes they did stuf that ddint have to resort in violence but this was all also after the great depression where people were finding reason and acause in their countires and lives.

Yes, I think that it is right for people in the 21st century to judge the actions that the governments took during World War II. In fact, I believe that the people who work for the governments are judging what they are currently doing, not to mention what the government's did during World War II. In the United States of America, the First Amendment to the Constitution backs up 'Freedom of Speech' which lets all Americans criticise the government and its actions, without persecution for doing so. Its not like they can forbid us for having opinions, or voicing them to boot! I think that everyone has a right to judge anything about anyone and everyone or anything they are doing, anywhere, at any given time. Although they are advised to keep most of their opinions to them-self.

I believe it is right for the people in the 21st Century to judge the actions governments took during World War II to a certain extent. This is because we can judge them for knowing that the causes of their decisions and actions were wrong in the way that they did neglect certain people, but we cannot judge them for some of the ways that they decided things as ways were very different back then compared to today with there being a lot more voices being heard in this century and the courage to speak up compared to those War times.

In my opinion, I think that to an extent it is right for people in the 21st century to judge the actions governments took during WWII. We can judge the past governments by using historical perspective to judge the intentions behind the government's actions in the past. Their intention doesn't make their actions any better, but helps us judge why they chose to do what they did in the past. Though we can judge their actions by using historical perspective, we can't fully understand why they acted in certain ways because things were different in that timeframe compared to present day. Societal and cultural norms are very different now compared to the past. Therefore, I believe that we can judge the past governments using historical perspective but it is also important to consider the societal differences between both timeframes.
