Human nature has a bright side, but it is undeniable---the dark side cannot disappear

This animated film can be regarded as an educational film that promotes the concept of American law (Tucao: It is not at the same level as the domestic educational animation...). There are also shadows of human rights, such as rejecting the execution of criminals.
Superman symbolizes the main theme of the American legal concept - no one can be above the law and exempt from the death penalty. The Jiying League represents another relatively extreme idea-to solve problems that cannot be solved by law in an arrogant way.
In fact, it is difficult to evaluate which kind of concept is better when you think about it. Some people agree with the Jiying Alliance very much, but you must know that no one is perfect. Once the people who control this kind of power have a little deviation in their thinking, it may cause unknown serious consequences. . Some people agree with the main theme of Superman, but you must know that the law is a tool created by the world. Since it is a tool, it can be used by others. Besides, the interest relationship in human society is complicated. In the face of some interests, the so-called law is just a piece of paper. And exempting the death penalty is unfair to most people, you guarantee the criminal's right to life, but you can't guarantee that he is not committing the same crime.
So I guess what is needed is a compromise. The idea of ​​superman is too ideal. It is necessary to know that things are interdependent, and only the existence of the opposite of a thing can reflect its value. The so-called "everyone in the world knows that beauty is beauty, but it is evil; everyone knows that good is good, and it is not good." Those that exist will always exist, that is the rule of the world. All we can do is to disinhibit but not eradicate. In the same way, the idea of ​​the Jiying Alliance is too extreme. As they think, the world must be full of blood and blood, which can be said to be the ultimate manifestation of Legalist thought. You must know that where there are people, there is bound to be a 'strife'. This kind of competition for various resources is the nature of life, and the conflicts caused by the manifestation in human society are inevitable. It is impossible to eradicate all struggles, all we can do is to minimize the damage of struggles.
Of course, I'm not against people having a pure philosophy. Because it is pure ideas that create great motivation for human beings. However, while adhering to the concept, we should recognize the reality more clearly, and do what we can do with lofty ideals that does not violate the rules of the world.
