reaction about Gattaca

This is Shuhei.

I've just saw the movie Gattaca.

First, I thought that DNA in the movie is treated like the academic background in our society.
Also, however, i found that there is slight difference between the DNA and academic background. the same aspect is that, both of them provide people with some bias which might be true and might not. Also the difference is that the fomer is defined when one was born or controled to have good DNA, and people hardly can change the bias or get good DNA again, no matter how they put effort on it. On the other hand, nowadays there are much more chance to change the bias of academic background or most people have chance to get good acdemic background even, though some have inborn advantage made by the economical background.


In the movie, the main character could change the bias, but most could not. It made me to think that I should not to rely on the bias, because some would be hurt when they were judged by the bias not their character.
