Today in class we watched the video that we were suppose to watch yesterday. The video is called "Plato's Allegory of the Cave". The video was very strange in the beginning, but after you watched and thought about it, it made more sense. The video is about prisoners that were locked up in a cave. The only thing that gave them an idea of what life is like outside of the cave would be the shadows they saw, passing by. One of the prisoners had the chance to go into the real world. He didn't expect it to be like the shadows he saw, he went back into the cave to tell others. When he went back into the cave to tell them, the prisoners made fun of him. As a class, we were close to the meaning of the video but not exactly there. Mr. Schick then told us that people and news casters want us to believe everything we hear from them. The message is we need to form our, own personal ideas and opinions on things in life. That we shouldn't follow everything everyone else does and believes.
