Not The Right Move!

The short film, “White Bear” which is part of the series “Black Mirror” is a very disturbing film. A woman is reliving her day over and over to teach her a lesson. The question is, is she really being taught a lesson? Citizens come to White Bear Park to see her and witness her get tortured for what she did in her past. She was forced by her husband to assist in a kidnapping and now she is being punished. She does not happen to know why she is being punished until after she has been tormented. So there is no lesson being learned here, and this is not a just way to solve problems. They can not will the maxim of this action, because if so every single breathing person would be scared to commit any crime or do anything obscured. The right way for them to make her feel bad about what happened was sentence her jail time for the rest of her life. That is a action that can be universal.

  1. I do agree with you that there is no lesson to be learned by making her relive the same day of terror over and over again. However, what would be the alternative? Three square meals a day and a roof over her head? Such as prison?
