Enduring Legacies and Obligation

"In recent weeks, President Pinera has said that while the military has been assigned all blame for the dictatorship, there are still civilians who benefited from the regime but who have never taken responsibility. In the end, he said, the country needs both justice and forgiveness."

• Do you agree or disagree with the idea, that those who benefited should be held responsibility?
• I disagree because they were just trying to make a living and not help the government in taking part of killing.  They were probably forced to.  If that is the case then they shouldn't be held responsible.
• How does the call for justice connect to the call for forgiveness?
• Once you forgive someone everything evens out and there is no tension.
• What does this quote say about where the country of Chile's citizens fall in their universe of Obligation?  Who is in and or out of their universe?  Why do you say that?
• This quote says that Chile's citizens are in the country's universe because without them what would the country be.  There would be no one to keep the country moving.  The government is like the bones and organs but the citizens are like the skin to hold everything together.
