The film Cave of Forgotten Dreams takes the viewer inside the lost cave presently known as the Chauvet Cave of Southern France. Once inside the filmmaker Werner Herzog captures the pictures of the oldest paintings of humankind in their natural setting among the walls of this long lost subterranean area. As a result, a group of scientist discovered this cave in 1994 , and it was given the name Chauvet Cave after one of the members of the three person party. After entering the small opening to…

Music is more than just words coupled with harmony and instruments. Music, like most (arguably all) forms of art and media, tell stories. Stories are certainly important, for they convey, or better put, reflect, what it means to be human; the human experience, the hardships of life—joy, pain, suffering, the universal struggle, the why. Bluntly put, we don’t know much about why we’re here on this floating sphere of sea and land amidst the lonely, dark abyss that is the universe. Perhaps it's a…

of Education”, the two authors focus on a similar topic: education and delusions. In Plato’s Allegory, Plato discusses a scenario where prisoners, except for one who escapes, are inside a cave that impairs their ability to view the outside world. His writing is an allegory discussing his views of education and false beliefs with the use of the cave and the prisoners. Freire discusses two different styles of education: the banking concept and the problem-posing concept, while hinting a preference…

Over this semester, the two works that stood out to me the most were Plato's Cave and the writing Jobs in the bible. Plato's Cave is allegorical writing with much representation in the atmosphere of the story. Plato's cave starts off by describing a dark, little to no light cave with people chained down by shackles in it. The peoples only entertainment and occupation is watching the shadows on the wall. They know nothing else but the show does that apead on the Wall.Eventually in the story, one…

Plato's Cave is a allegory writing about two different worlds and the escape of one individual to see both, but is not able to share what he has seen because of people not being open to learning new things. It starts off in a dark, dim-lighted cave. In the cave, there are people tied down in chains and can hardly move. The people are facing a wall and from the little light that there is, the people watch shadows of varies objects for all their time and that is basically there world. Little do…

passing through between the prisoners and a fire. Every day the people in the cave watch these shadows and have given them names, it has become their reality. The prisoners had created a game of guessing which shadow would appear next, if one was correct, the others would praise him as intelligent and clever. However, Plato suggests that since these shadows are not the truth, it would be silly to admire someone that actually does not know anything. Eventually, one prisoner decides to break…

Aristotle once said “Each man judges well the things that he knows, and of these he is the best judge. Thus the man who had been educated in a certain area is the best judge in that area, while the man who has a general education is a good judge in general.” The quote states how an individual is able to effectively judge the things that they know the best. Someone who has been educated in a certain area is the best judge for that area. The nature of the quote is taking what you know to make a…

Although, I do not believe he would agree with how the prisoners cope, by trying to kill the escaped prisoner. I do think Plato would most likely agree with handling cognitive dissonance by trying to find a way to change behavior an example given in the text, “This strategy presents challenges, however, as it is often difficult for…

Sunmi Famule Hour 3 ESSAY TEST Comparing an Apple tree to an Orange tree is a task that deems the rolling of one's eyes. This is similar to comparing a book about the N-word (nigger The Strange Career of a Troublesome Word by Randall Kennedy) to a book written by the out of touch Plato (Dialogues of Plato). However different, readers can scrounge up a similarity between the two and get a slight sense of how plato would have viewed Kennedy’s book. Plato would have viewed Kennedy’s book as a way…

“Twenty-one percent of prisoners and 14% of jail inmates reported ever having tuberculosis, hepatitis B or C, or other STDs (excluding HIV or AIDS).” (Bureau of Justice Statistics, 2016).
