Psycho Pass 2- February 24
I finished watching the entire 2nd season of Psycho Pass called Psycho Pass 2. If you don't know what it is m,i'll tell you. Its set in Japan, Tokyo I think, and the city is run by a computer system called Sibyl who montiors the citizens individual crime coefficients to see if they are high enough to be considered latent criminals. Based on this assessment the police that consist of regular agents and enforcers, latent criminals that have been given a chance to attone for their actions, montior and protect the city by taking the necessary precautions and actions based on Sibyl judgement through specialized weapons called dominators. I don't want to spoil anything, but essentially both seasons deal with the flaws and corruption of fhe Sibyl system and questions the ethics of its so called objectivity. I really like the theme of the second season. The main character Akane Sunomori knows the secret about Sibyl, but chooses to stay with the force and work with Sibyl to create an idealistic world. Her motto is, "the law doesn't protect the people, the people protect the law." Meaning that despite a flawed system, unfair circumstances, and a corrupt world it is up to the people to decide to make the best out of their situation for the betterment of themselves and society as a whole. This speaks volumes to what is happening in the world today. With endless amounts of hate and selfishness in its many forms seeking to consume this world and lead even the best of us astray, it is important to remember that all of us can effect change and make the world a better place in our own way eventhough there is so much working against us. We must have the strength and the will to fight for justice, speak out against oppression, and stand up for everyone because we all have a right to life, liberty, and happiness. As a generation, our work is not finished and our fight is not over. In a lot of ways it is just beginning. We all need to ban together to make this world a better place for all.
