Punishment or entertainment?

Punishment is the greatest to way to Learn from your reactions which caused you to make mistakes. There is also a limit to where punishment can be took too far. In the film white bear, the young lady is put in situation where she wakes up daily frighten and confused. So as she wakes up she realizes that she doesn't know who she is but when she goes outside her doorstep she she's nothing but people recording her with there camera phones, instead of people helping her find herself again. Shortly after that the young lady finds out that there are people with out phones that just simply want to kill, and they chase her all through the streets until she get to a safe ground which is the gas station. At the gas station she meets a woman who also doesn't have a camera phone trying to record her nor is she trying to kill her.  To make the long story short, the woman helps and protects the young lady from death. Then finally takes her to a place where the confusion gets more hectic. Then the whole movie makes sense, the young lady named Victoria whose is a convict. She recorded her boyfriend kill or should I say burn a little girl whom they both kidnap. But the question you have to ask yourself is: is this morally right? Does this punishment fit the crime? Yes this does fit the punishment because it shows Victoria exactly how the little girl she helped kidnap felt. Is this morally just? No I feel as if this is the definition of cruel and unusual punishment because Victoria doesn't realize that she gets this punishment everyday, possibly for the rest of her life. At least with most punishments you are aware of what you done and can have reasoning on yourself. For example, if I murdered three and I sit in jail for 40 years and then finally they execute me. I would most feel like I deserve to die for the crime I done. As Victoria also realized after she found out about her wrongdoings. Does the punishment fit the crime? Yes the crime is the exact treatment that we assume the kidnap little girl felt. 

People actually go pay to Victoria go though the steps on daily of finding herself. But as we discussed in class paying to go an amusement park is no different than turning your channel to watch "cops". So we have to ask ourselves, " is it that punishment or entertainment?"
