We have been thinking about issues in older fiction such as racism, slavery, sexism where the world (or first-world countries, at least) have come to a general conclusion. However, there are undoubtedly current issues on which each of us has strong personal beliefs. What if a hundred years from now, things have changed, the world has come to a consensus and that consensus is opposite of your current opinion on an issue? Should a person in the future look back and say Diap (or me, or anyone else here now) was not thinking or acting in good conscience based on the world we lived in and the information we had in the early 21st century?
