One show that I enjoy a lot is “Black Mirror”. The whole concept of the show interests me a lot especially how psychological the episodes can get. An episode that stands out to me is titled “Nosedive”. It is about a woman who lives in a status-obsessed world that perpetuates the worth of a person based on their ranking number. Everyone can see your number, and if you have a positive interaction with someone then both people can leave a high rating for each other which directly affects your overall ranking number. Those who have high ranks are seen as the elites of society and the ones with low numbers are generally ignored and looked down on.<\/p>\n
This episode gives a sobering look into how much social status plays a role on influencing others whether we know it or not. We all know that everyone should be treated with respect no matter their occupation, age, gender, race, etc., but the unfortunate reality is that society puts certain people on a pedestal based on their perceived value while others are disregarded. As the episode progresses, the main character’s social ranking drops more and more for various reasons and she desperately tries to get back to where it was. Eventually her score drops so low that she gets put in jail. Although this is a sad way for the episode to end, she realizes the valuable lesson that you can’t please everyone so it’s better to focus on being yourself. This is when she finds meaning in life and is overjoyed despite her situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
