White Bear

    In this Episode of Black Mirror a woman was pretty much stripped of here humanity and turned into an exhibit. The people around her pay to see her mental torment and participate in part of her torture by pretending to be controlled by a signal and filming her all day. She wakes up everyday not knowing who she is or remembering what happened the previous day. This is a punishment turned into a business by actors and facilitators who profit from acting out the same thing everyday. They pretend that all of society is broken and that only a couple of people are unaffected by the fake signal that they created. The actors were three hunters and two survivors who interact with her while they pretend to not know her until the end of the day when they unveil to the women who she is and why she is there. Because of what the woman did, this is what everyone who participates in this sees as justice.
    I disagree with their view of this punishment to the women. Mentally she isn't the same person who committed this moral injustice therefore it is just revenge on the physical body by attacking the psychological portion of her. With them erasing her memory everyday, she isn't capable or remembering what she did. Everyone who participates in this is in my opinion morally wrong because without the woman's memory, there is no reformations being made to the type of person she is. There is no more justice and they are becoming not bystanders but participants in making this woman feel inhuman. The people involved end up being worse than the person she use to be.
