Shamanism is a front running hypothesis and is associated with magico-religious expression through the form of cave art. However, it’s a highly contentious subject with some people fiercely opposing this theory and branding its advocates as ‘shamaniacs’. Perhaps the contention lies with “the loose use of labels and names such as shamanism that has led to some of the confusion” (Taçon, 2006). Often shamanism has been used to rationalize almost everything in a way that suggests it was “shamans and their initiates that were the main or even exclusive producers of rock art” (Taçon, 2006). Even though shamanism has been a long standing theory for cave art interpretations, it has only been taken seriously in the scientific field within the last two decades, and is based on ethnographic data linked to San rock art in Southern Africa.…
In the stories, What the Best College Students Do by Ken Bain, The Allegory of the Cave by Plato, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave by Frederick Douglass, and The (Honest) Truth About Dishonesty by Dan Ariely, the authors convey the importance of the freedom of learning and the different approaches to learning. Each author has a unique way of getting their point across; some through violence and some through experiments. The connection made between these stories is that every individual has the right to learn, and it is important to understand their approaches to learning. In an excerpt of Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave by Frederick Douglass, he describes at the beginning that he was born into slavery and there was no escape.…

For the majority of the world, life can be described by Plato’s Famous Cave allegory. The cave allegory has been used in countless situations to describe the worlds dying race: Genius. Imagine we live deep inside an enormous cave with one long tunnel with a speck of light. The human race has been tied up since childhood in the cave so that they can’t move or see what’s not in front of them. The only images are the one illuminated by a light that creates a show in front of them.…
So, what is it that makes an item in a work of art a symbol? A symbol is something represented in the work of art—an object, an action, or a pattern of objects and actions, or even (less frequently) simply a nonrepresentational item such as a color or a line. Let’s take a look at your dots and your spirals.…
For someone who is oblivious to the truth, it may be quite difficult to understand when they are first introduced to it, especially when they have only known one reality their entire life and they are told that everything they have ever known is incorrect. It can take time to finally accept this truth, but once it is understood, it will change their life. In both “Allegory Of The Cave” by the philosopher Plato, and The Matrix by the Wachowskis’, it can be seen that when man is blinded by his own ignorance and given an opportunity to learn, he is pained by the visions of enlightenment, but with time, will seek out those who are not as knowledgeable, and teach them his ways. In both “Allegory of the Cave” and The Matrix…

Behind these men is a fire with people walking across it carrying objects and things shaped as animals or creatures. Since the men have never once stepped outside, they believe this to be their reality. One day a single man is released and allowed to turn around and venture outside.…

A girl is crouching behind a table and the camera pans out to reveal a CGI velociraptor slowly approaching her direction. However, the visuals themselves is not what creates the tension that this iconic Jurassic Park scene is known for. The entire experience of the scene is what really touches the audience, it’s the unmistakable silence that catches our attention. It’s that silence that draws one in, the kitchen utensils clattering unusually loudly that makes our hearts beat faster, and the frantic violin crescendo causing our anxiety to sky rocket. It is the entire experience that causes the audience to walk out of the theater with adrenaline still rushing throughout their body.…
This paper is centred on how and why caves became such a critical aspect of the Maya’s worldview. Caves have long been recognized as important locations for ritual (Heyden 1975 Pohl and Pohl 1983), but through the consideration of human-environment interactions at caves, one can see that the very concept of “caves” were sacred to the Maya. Maya religion was heavily influenced by it’s agricultural society and this is highlighted by the earth being symbolized as the source of power and fertility (Ishihara 2008:169). Caves, as openings in the earth, were seen as locations where the power of the earth could be accessed, as the residence and/or birthplace of the gods, and as the entrance to the underworld (Bassie-Sweet 1991). Since caves are an…
