PLATO - Allegory of the Cave(animated)
It was talking about Plato's story he wrote about Socrates. It was showing how the world can corrupt your mind by imprisoning you and showing you their point of view of things, saying "this is what you should believe and that's it". You don't see YOUR big picture, just the picture that was put in front of you.
Mr. Schick asked us about some ideas of what might be an example of this in the 21st century, today. We listed some good ideas. One people said that a very good example of this was school. In school, yes everything that the teacher says isn't wrong but on some things that they say their opinion on for example; that's what you might start to believe. You may start to believe it because you only hear their side of it. You don't hear the other side of the opinion. Society is a very big one too. TV Commercials also. We as a generation just have been getting corrupted for a long time and sometimes we need to learn how to think for ourselves.
