The concept of "original sin" in Christian doctrine has a tradition that personal beliefs must be used to guard against the evil of human nature. The development of each character in Battlestar can be seen as an embodiment of this tone. Events involving decision-making, such as Roslyn's policy, Adama's request for Sharon to fight against the Cylons, and Lee's defections during the trial of Portal, often have an unbelievable sense of coldness. The first two can be explained by national hatred, but the acquittal process of Portal at the end of the third season clearly illustrates this accommodation mechanism. This mechanism requires human rationality, which is actually a very mechanical rationality, in order to avoid imbalances between groups due to various defects of human nature. In terms of emotion, this accommodation mechanism appeals to some relatively basic concepts, such as family, love, racial mutual protection, personal details, emotions or personalities are proved and clarified in the test of events again and again to reach the attribution of basic emotions. In the case of Sharon, she must fight daily for acceptance and risk scorching to carry out military orders. One can't help but wonder whether such a harsh daily life will lead to a collapse and mutiny, but the love for Helo and his daughter that erupts from it makes the human feel believable. Even the weak archetype of Potar has a sense of guilt and a motive to belong to explain his behavior.
Several major turns in the play, such as the innocence of Portal, the assassination of Cain, and the mutiny of Sharon, are based on this premise. The different perspectives provided by Robotech are very real to me, and I can't help but realize that I have never believed in the saying that "human nature is inherently good", but the concept that human nature is inherently evil has always had no emotional basis in our tradition. One of its obvious advantages is that this concept is more conducive to communication between people, especially in court debates. Because he didn't expect emotional communication from the very beginning, but set the minimum expectation to get a result that is in line with mechanical rationality. And the high ethical standards produced by the inherent goodness of nature have no room for accommodation when they fight each other.
The difference between this world and the so-called Datong is really quite big. There is a language usage that illustrates attitude well, live with it. Although there is also the sweet joy of heaven in the religious experience, from a psychological point of view, the seriousness and austerity of BSG are more serious than the hard-working and hard-working Chinese people who have experienced all kinds of hardships. If it is really necessary to export culture from the rise of great powers, whether it can provide a similar and feasible worldview should be the most advanced.
