This class and trip we went on reinforced the direction and changes I want to make in my life, and the impact I want to have on others. There was a handful of eye opening experience’s I witnessed throughout my time in the DR, and these things I will never forget. Throughout the trip I personally learned a lot from the people of the community, because they didn’t have the best living circumstances but they always had a smile on their faces.

The dialogue between Socrates and Meno revolve around a fundamental issue: whether virtue can be taught. However, Socrates indicates that it is unfeasible to answer this question without knowing what virtue really is.

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…

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…
