chains. Plato theorized that when the prisoner was exposed to what we consider the “real world” he would not believe what he sees; gradually the prisoner would adjust to this new reality and become enlightened with knowledge and understanding. When the prisoner brings his newfound knowledge back to the…

The Allegory of the Cave is a dialogue between Glaucon and his mentor Socrates. Socrates presents a situation in which several men are born chained to a cave wall with absolutely no mobility in their appendages or their heads for their entire lives. Behind and above them is a fire that casts shadows onto the cave wall that the prisoners are facing. Between the prisoners and the fire is a raised walkway that allows unnamed people to walk through, although the walkway has a wall to obscure the…

Though in both lesson plans presented here in this paper, the White Towel and Critical Media Literacy; Commercial Advertising, share the same overall goal; the further development of the students’ media literacy and personal agency, the two lesson plans attempt to achieve this goal in different ways. With an assumption of, at least, an initial medium agency level among students, the White Towel lesson plan attempts to grow media literacy by immersing the student in a representational paradigm…

Inside the story of Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave” we find prisoners held down by shackles inside a dark den with an only source of light that is fire behind them, as a result, that all they can see are shadows, until one day one prisoner breaks free and escape from the cavern and sees “reality”, but momentarily he gets temporary blindness because he wasn't adapted to light by the cause that all he saw in his life were shadows and darkness, after a while he explores and sees the sun he admires…

focus less on what students are interested in. Due to it being teacher based and focused less on the student's interests, the students don’t have much of a role. What the students are in charge of is learning basic skills and collecting knowledge, while…

The cave: In Plato’s article, the cave symbolises people who believe that knowledge comes from what we see and hear in the world which is empirical evidence that is senses or knowledge received from…

Looking Glass of One’s Own Self People base their opinions through opinions they have learned through experience. Some take what parents or elderly people have taught them and apply it to their own life. This is one major way one makes decisions, as well as forming biases. With these developed biases people then come to a conclusion, solution, or verdict with any scenario thrown in their direction. Though people learn from others in some situations, they have to make their own decisions and…

It is my belief that teachers use questioning strategies for a variety of reasons. Some of those reasons include reviewing previous lessons, actively involving students in the lesson, assessing mastery of the goals and objectives, and helping them develop critical thinking skills. When I taught my first lesson in the classroom I felt that using questioning strategies enhanced the lesson material. When I used questions that seem to focus on important elements of the lesson it helped the student…

As well as there is no need to fear death because human knowledge cannot represent the ones of the Gods. Socrates did not fear death since he considered himself to be a good man and life after death is unknown to him “I do not know whether death is a good or an evil” (Plato 13), so there is no need to fear what…
