White Bear

Before knowing what was going on, I sympathized with the women. I thought that it was unhuman for people to stand around while someone is in need. After understanding what was going on in the end, I had a different perspective. I think that what she did was wrong, but the way in which she was punished was not justifiable. I believe this because like someone said in class, she can’t learn from her mistakes if she is only aware of what she did for less than ten minutes before she is unaware again. This is no way for someone to learn from their mistakes. I think when someone does something to someone else, the best thing is not for it to be done to the person that did it because it really doesn’t make things better. Say for example someone killed your child. As a parent, nothing can bring back that child. Even if you killed their child it doesn’t help the fact that your child is gone and will never come back. You may think that revenge will help you feel better or even make the situation seem better, but what it does is just repeat a cycle. It also sets a bad example to others because it’s not like the situation gets solved. It just shows other people that if they are willing to act in a certain way, then you should be able to take the action that you gave out. Not everyone will learn or even care if what they do to someone else happens to them, so I don’t think that doing the exact same action to someone who did it to you as their punishment is a way to help the situation.
