Tess Kihm : Blog Posting 2


What if we had an infallible police state, a police force that would make no mistakes, because pre-crime never made any mistakes? All of our problems would be solved, right? No more shootings, no more deaths. Would this really better the society, improve our quality of life, is this even possible?
In Minority Report the use of pre-crime is suppost to completly stop all acts of violence and crimes. If someone was going to murder someone, then they would be arrested before they had the chance to complete the act. Lets say this was a real part of society today. Could this be effetive or even exist? I don't think so. People learn from mistakes, and if they never make from those mistakes then they never learn their lesson. Also I think everything happens for a reason, so if you are disrupting the normal cycle of this world, then what else could you be effecting in the long run? Lastly, as humans, we can change our minds. Pre-crime fails to realize this, thus putting people way for crimes they weren't actually going to commit. But, what if this was put in place. Then what could have been avoided? Possibly the terrorist attacks in France, or the Sandy Hook shooting, but again I stand by my point. Horrible things happen, and you can't always control that.
