Lacie's initial desire for self-improvement and success is not inherently wrong. Her ambition to achieve a better life and her willingness to work hard for it are commendable. However, her methods—such as prioritizing superficial interactions over genuine connections—are misguided. Her behavior reflects the societal pressures of the world she lives in, but it also highlights the dangers of losing oneself in the pursuit of external validation.

In the context of the society depicted in Nosedive, Lacie's behavior is "normal" because it aligns with the expectations and norms of that world. However, from an outside perspective, her behavior is extreme and unhealthy. It reflects the dangers of a system that prioritizes appearances and ratings over authenticity and human connection. In our real world, her behavior would be considered abnormal and indicative of deeper issues related to self-worth and societal pressure.

Technology can be a tool for self-improvement, but it depends on how it is used. In Nosedive, technology is used to enforce a rigid social hierarchy that values superficial interactions over genuine growth. While technology can provide opportunities for learning, connection, and self-betterment, it can also lead to unhealthy behaviors, such as obsession with external validation and loss of individuality. The key is to use technology mindfully and ensure it serves as a means to enhance, rather than replace, authentic human experiences.

Before taking a position, consider Niccolò Machiavelli's most iconic phrase, "the end justifies the means." Do you think the phrase is an accurate description of Lacie's actions? Do you think it also describes some of your own everyday actions?**

Lacie's actions can be seen as an example of "the end justifies the means." She is willing to manipulate others, suppress her true self, and sacrifice her relationships to achieve her goal of a higher rating. However, her "end" is ultimately shallow and unfulfilling, as it is based on external validation rather than genuine self-improvement.

In our own lives, we might sometimes adopt a similar mindset, prioritizing short-term gains or societal approval over long-term well-being and authenticity. However, it is important to reflect on whether the "end" we are pursuing is truly meaningful and whether the "means" we are using align with our values.

Lacie's actions were wrong because they were driven by a flawed system and a misguided pursuit of external validation. Her obsession with her rating led her to lose her authenticity and neglect meaningful relationships. While her intentions were not inherently bad, her methods were harmful to herself and others.

If I were in Lacie's position, I would have prioritized authenticity and self-worth over societal approval. I would have focused on building genuine connections and finding value in myself, rather than relying on a superficial rating system. While it might be challenging to resist societal pressures, living authentically and staying true to one's values is ultimately more fulfilling and sustainable.
