Prison Break: beyond getting along, there is order and harmony in our relationships
In episode two of Prison Break, one of the contained lessons is getting along. The character Warden Henry Pope mentions him clearly and loudly to all inmates, and Charles West Moreland directly to Michael J. Scofield. In reality, getting along is in the middle of a continuum. The lowest point is staying out of trouble and the highest point is living a life in order and harmony.
However, staying out of trouble or just getting along with our life is not enough. Each individual will contribute to order and harmony in our relationships with all other individuals, within the social structure from the base of the dyad, up to the team, group, association, organization, state, nation, world and the cusp is the universe.
So the relevant question right now is, do we ever wish this world to be a composition of a single race, a color, a culture, a language, a religion, and for each individual to be equal and similar in all respects and characteristics? ?
So what is the wisdom of God of this clarity in the variations, differences and characteristics, and distinguishing characteristics that we are? Perhaps our common aspiration is unity in diversity, rather than uniformity in conformity.
It is clear that defending unity in diversity, then we will study the similarities and differences between living a life inside and outside of a prison. The similarity is the probability of physical and metaphysical incarcerations. While the standout difference, of course, is total freedom. Surprisingly, where there is total freedom, that will be the best place to live.
Uniquely within the dividing walls of any prison, on the outside, there are relationships between the representatives of the police, the court and the hospitals, in addition to all the private and public internal and internal departments. Inside, there are relationships between the prisoners, the guards, the officers, the infirmary, and the senior prison administrators. The relationship between insiders and outsiders is also relevant, including the relationship between family members.
In this episode of Prison Break, the audience sees Michael at the center, and his dyadic relationships include:
* A brotherhood relationship with Lincoln Burrows. They share the joyous kinship that two siblings can have. They especially do not keep any secrets from each other, and are always attentive to protect each other with concern and love.
To some extent, it is seen that Lincoln is pushing almost everyone away, because he considers himself an anchor, sinking people who have a relationship with him. There is also a definite contrast between the current relationship between Michael and Lincoln; and the past relationship between Lincoln and Veronica Donovan; and a past relationship between Veronica and Sebastian.
* A close relationship with Fernando Sucre, his cellmate. As a cellmate, Michael is aware of the importance of this relationship, especially Fernando’s key role in his action planning. However, the initial closeness they share encounters a sudden block after the trust test activities, proceeds to distance these two apart. Perhaps Fernando is concerned about his relationships with Maricruz Delgado, which involve a defiant Héctor Ávila to win her over for marriage.
* A possible relationship with Dr. Sarah Tancredi. In this relationship, is Michael momentarily using the good doctor to fulfill his plan of action, or will these two develop a lasting love affair that rises above the rules and regulations that impose a forbidden relationship between a prison official and a prisoner?
* A relationship with Captain Brad Bellick, who shows power and authority, also instilling suspicion and fear. Especially when Brad realizes the awkwardness of Henry developing a liking relationship and doing some favors for Michael.
Yet what similarity can we see in Brad granting John Abruzzi privileges in a special relationship with him, and John’s extended relationship with his associates outside the prison wall.
Also, there is tension in the relationship between Brad and Henry, especially in terms of their leadership styles and approaches, it’s like the difference between day and night.
* A nice tie with Charles. They are both gaining continued respect and trust. Charles shares with Michael about the relationship between the black and white groups. Inside the prison they never get along.
In general, Michael can be direct and simplistic when it comes to building relationships with other people. In the previous episode, Dr. Sarah Tancredi alerted him to trust. Then, in this episode that continues, Lincoln did the same, alerting Michael to the confidence of any black in his relationship with them. However, for Michael, their relationships transcend race. Michael is seen to bind a relationship between himself and any individual solely on the basis of escaping from prison according to his planning of action. Your assessment, judgment and decision making is like that.
However, at this stage, some do not share his nature, especially four prominent leaders, namely John Abruzzi, who leads the kinship fraternity; Theodore Bagwell, leading the whites; Benjamin Miles Franklin leading the blacks; and Brad, in part, leading the prison officers and guards. All four are a major influence in their own individual territory, and they are behind Michael, for their own reason and in their own way.
Michael is perceived by Theodore as mixed with blacks, and is accused of being a confused individual who may be white on the outside but black on the inside. Furthermore, Michael is perceived by Benjamin as a white who will remain with the whites and cannot be among the blacks. Next, Michael is perceived by John as a charlatan who has nothing he needs, and if he does need it, his power allows him to put pressure on Michael and inflict excruciating pain on him. Michael is perceived by Brad as a smart person who is poised to bring down the well-guarded prison system.
Michael has received a statement from each of them, such as “whose side are you on?” “come and stand on our side” and “why are you choosing the wrong side?” While in the background, on the opposite side is the unique relationship between Special Agent Paul Kellerman and Carolyn Reynolds.
In all the relationships featured through this episode of Prison Break, the audience can clearly see how vital information is and how people experienced a change in their relationships after changing their perception in light of incoming new and different information.
Beyond this, it is interesting to note that the relationships between Lincoln and Crab Simmons; Veronica in a relationship with Wendy, her assistant, another attorney, and La Tisya; Dr. Sarah Tancredi in a relationship with nurse Katie Welch; and more, surely there is an opening of hope, as a bright light shines in the avenues for all white, black, colored and others to go beyond getting along in our relationship, to achieve order and harmony on this earth within our entire universe. .
A direct benefit that you will gain after watching the Prison Break series, particularly episode two, is your preference in the option of contributing order and harmony in your own relationships with other people in your life.
