WHITE BEAR

               White Bear was based on a kidnap and murder of a little girl. The woman being featured was the aggressor. What seemed like some world wide mind game that she was the only one free of was actually a punishment for the crime she committed. the new punishment for crime according to this video was human wide humiliation of a person. this " justice park, " was created in order to serve justice for the murder of the little girl. the point of the show was to manipulate the woman's actions in order for her to suffer in the same ways her and her fiancée made the little girl suffer when they were killing her. the people at the justice had their phone out and recorded the woman's every move as she tried running away from the villain of the video. they tortured her by ignoring her. and pretending like she was being prosecuted to die. everyone ignored her screams and cries for help. which is exactly what she did to the little girl. she recorded her fiancé killing her and burning her.
             this method of punishment seems ineffective to me. society is trying to take justice into its own hands, ignoring the fact that there is laws that serve us for punishing murders, rapists, and thieves. in this case, the women is not really suffering because the director wipes her mind clear after each episode or show. she does not have the chance to really think about what she did. she does not have the chance to regret it. she does not have the chance to suffer. she just suffering in repeat for something she does not even know of because her memory got wiped clean. it is honestly really sad how this form of society would actually work. it not even the same as an eye for an eye because the criminal is not receiving the same pain as the victim. so I do not agree with this fundamental belief of justice and order. in my mind, this society is not making anything better with a justice park. the parents do not even have a form of peace available to let go and forgive because they are constantly watching how their daughters aggressor is treated on tv.

  1. You say that this method is ineffective. What is the purpose of punishment in general?
