Causation was discussed today in class and cutting the line of causation in order to prevent an infinite amount of liability in every situation. We talked a little about slavery and to what extent the outcomes of slavery are truly foreseeable. I thought of another topic kind of along the same line as the slavery topic that I felt would be interesting to discuss/think about.
Where do you think the cut off point is for the reparation of Native Americans?
Are the consequences truly foreseeable?
To what extent are they foreseeable?
Is it reasonable to say that the foreseeable consequences go on forever? 1 generation? 5 generations? 100 generations?
**NOTE: I am NOT saying to just forget what happened nor am I saying that those actions were OK by any means...I am just asking what the reasonable cut off point of foreseeable consequence is and an amount of reasonable reparation time for those actions**
