"White Bear": The Symbol of Injustice

On  Black Mirror's season 2 episode 2 called "White Bear", a woman wakes up distraught and completely disoriented. The first thing she sees is images of a little girl whom she does not know, but through constant flashbacks that play in her head she can only believe the little girl to be her daughter and another picture of her and an unknown man whom she assumes to be her significant other. She then notices an unusual white symbol on the television screen which she does not know the meaning of. To the viewer she appears to be disoriented due to an apparent suicide attempt. She does not know anything about who she is so she starts to ask her neighbors who all just pull out their phones and record her instead of trying to help her out. This goes on throughout the episode, the people just follow and record her instead of trying to actually help her out with her situation which I felt was odd.Within the first five minutes of the episode when I saw the phones recording I knew it was for a television show, I just didn't know the purpose of the show for which it was for. My first thought was that it was a survival game show in which she had to put the pieces of her life back together to know who she was. It turns out they were recording her as punishment for her role in the death of a little girl. She watched and filmed as her fiancé tortured and burned a little girl to death. The fiancé ended up committing suicide so society feel justice wasn't served and so each day they torture Victoria by frying her brain to erase her memory and chasing her with weapons and recording her like she is some sort of freak show.
       I feel this is a representation of how social media has made society today. In today's society people would rather pull out their phones and record someone being hurt rather than actually trying to help them out. There are many instances in which young children are being beaten and instead of helping to stop the abuse people decide it is a good idea to record. It is like people are programmed to record the next big trending video to share with their friends rather than live in the moment. Another instance is concerts; nowadays when people attend concerts they always have their phones out to record rather than actually enjoy concerts for themselves.
       "White Bear" can also be a portrayal of American justice systems. There are many Americans who are sent away to prison for years for a nonviolent crime such as marijuana possession. Then there are those Americans who can rape a woman and only get 6 months because of their status and wealth. There are unarmed, black, African American males that are gunned down almost daily and their killers are found not guilty which is like saying their life was worthless.
