Black Box
A black box is a device, system or object which can be viewed in terms of its inputs and outputs without any knowledge of its internal workings. And almost every act in daily life involves processes in a black box. One of the direct consequences of a process-in-a-black-box is the isolation of affect, which is a defense mechanism.
However, it sometimes derives into many other social problems because it aggravates lack of empathy. The deities act as their will and bring miracles or plagues. Thus, to some extent, they are “black boxes” as well. But one of the significant differences between deities and black boxes is that they are not under control.
On contrary, the black box is under full control of man. With an input of an “X”, it outputs a “Y”. For an ordinary person, no matter as a client using a black box or a follower of a deity, he knows nothing about the inner
mechanism, yet his attitude is totally different.
Therefore, our ways to treat with black boxes are changing, that is we ask for reliable inputs and outputs. People are treated as machines and are ordering others like babies.
People are in black box.
