In the film "White Bear", there is a lot of question of morality in the situation. The main character is a woman who has completely lost all memory of who she is, and yet people around her are filming her and seem to recognize her. She has flashbacks of her life and tries to piece things together but is never fully aware of what is going on around her. She is video taped and tortured until finally her past mistakes are revealed to her. The White Bear Justice Park took what she and her fiancé did to a young girl and made her relive it with no knowledge of what she had done. Some say this is perfect justice, and that she is getting exactly what she deserves for what she did to that young girl. However, in my opinion, I do not think that any sort of punishment is for a human to place on another. I think that the punishment for this woman will be given to her by a higher power, and that any human doing it to her is extremely backwards.
Capital punishment falls in same category. We tell people not to kill anyone and that it is wrong, so why do the same to them when they fail to follow the law? Same with this movie. Everything the couple did to the young girl was beyond cruel and everyone agreed with that, yet the turn around and do the same thing to the woman.
I agree with you Hannah, because I do believe that through violence we are never going to solve any thing, instead we should let God take care of the evil. However, I am aware that we cannot just let criminals run around the city without any punishment. All I am saying is that death for the death of another is not right instead we should all try to get these people back into the road so they can integrate and be part of society again.
