the matrix relates to Plato

Plato “ The Allegory of the cave “can be related to the movie “the Matrix in several ways. The matrix was a 1999 film that was about a guy name Neo” a computer hacker who learned about the unexplained rebels of his reality and the world of the matrix. His job was to enhance the utopia world and destroys dystopia that was controlled by it. Morpheus toke Neo into the utopia world and because this was his first time being there he had a lot of questions; everything was new and weird for him. In this white room of another world where everything is being controlled and Morpheus telling him that he is the one to free everyone from it. It was a lot to handle all at once. To take in all at one time he waked up right away and got sick because he had never seen such thing.
In allegory of the cave there was a room of prison that was captured in this cave since there childhood. One of the prisons was able to escape from the cave to see the light of the real world. At first the light was a pain to his eyes, which would cause him to turn away and refuse to leave the cave. He wasn’t used to the reality and the things he was just seeing for the first time. He couldn’t believe that there was such a world. All his childhood he and the rest of the prison thought it was just shadows which he formerly saw were truer than the object that were just shown to him. Socrates believed that he would grow accustomed to the sight of the upper world.

Blog #4 A time in human history

During the time of 1898 a drug called Heroin was made by Bayer Company in Germany. People used this illegal drug as a cough medicine and a pain killer. They thought it was help them with their morphine addiction. Until twelve years later doctors realized it became the opposite, an addictive drug, which was either smoked or injected into a muscle to get feeling of being calm and relax which meant high. Some people consider it to be an illegal drug in some countries but also consider taken it for a medical purpose. No matter what the affect were like. After finding out facts that indeed heroin could cause so many different illness and problems in your body people were already used to taking it that it was so hard to stop, even if they wanted to because there were so additive. Sometimes they would even overdose like take to much that they would start to become very sick and catch different dieses and sometimes even die.

The Allegory of the Cave

The allegory of the cave was between a professor name socarates and his student Glaucon.They talk how "far nature is enlightend or unenlightned".To be enlightened meant you believed in The truth with facts and to be unenlightned meant you heard the facts but no matter what,You wasn't going To change your mind you stick to one conclusion.Most people would rather live not knowing the truth, then to fear the reality and have to face it. In the story socates gave glacun an example of human beings who lived underground since there childhood and there legs and neck chained stoping them from seeing nothing but a low wall built along the way and a distant fire with shadows of the puppets.socrates was basically trying to say that the "men could only see what they were allowed to see "which was shadows and that was what they beleieved in.

The differences between my private self and my public self are the total opposite. For example, I wouldn’t carry myself the way I go about when I am at home as when I am on the street. I believe that happens with most people because when you are on the street you want people to look at you as someone with class, well spoken and knows how to carry him or herself as a male or female. Some people could care less about their image and dress in their nightclothes to go on the street. Different rules when it comes to different folks.
My private self is basically my time the way I present myself when I am alone is like the way a child behaves when their parents aren’t looking. I go crazy, I speak anyway I want to speak, I blast my music, I take care of my personal business, I dress any way I want to dress and then I just relax. The way I talk to my friends I wouldn’t go school speaking the same way to my professor. You want them to see you as an educated person then as if someone who comes from a bad neighborhood and speak to people any way they want to.
As your own privacy you wouldn’t tell your friends or people you don’t know every well your personal business or something you feel is not relevant to them for someone else ears to hear. In some situations it can become problematic. It becomes a talking conversation as each time a different person hears something the situations switches up.
