The mist undeniable fact is people like to live their live in an
unrealistic fashion even though the realities of life is sometimes
hard to deal with. Many blindly ignore the facts and continue ti live
in false pretense. Illusions can lead people ti livingin a world that
consists of false realities
In plato excerpt the allegory of the cave,the cave can be perceived as
the wolrd we live in. Day in and day out we start our day like a rat
race ruShing to work or school then we race home to our families in
the evening and this process continues everyday (the cave as you know
it. this simply implies that the human are under control and continue
to live their live in an fatancy wolrd as if it just the way life
really is. this is similar to the allegory of the caeand the matrix
the theme of givivng up the illusion and embracing the thruth is
demstrated in the matrix and the allegory of the cave where as the two
are baed on life in an unreal world . in the allgory of the cave plato
story conveys where slaves are trapped working without leaving the
cave. they have no idea that there is anotherworld beyong the caveand
they blindy refused to leave the cave when somoene told them about
another world. it so happened that one day the man that told them
abotu the other world stepped out of the cave and into this new world
where he could see the sun.the bright light almost blinded him due
being in the dark for so long he was afraid.
the connection between the allegory of the cave and the real world is
very simliar to conlonial rule of the jamaican indians by the french
goverment.the slaves were taken from africa and brought to the island
to work and toil until one day one slaves . rebelled .this sparked an
uproar. some slave did not agree and did not want to paticipate in the
rebbelllion . this was the time the slave had the chance to be free.
similar to the abolision of slavery in the west indies . in the matrix
was a world of dystopia for neo.again here lyes accepting the truth or
the lie . for the neo he chose not live the lie
 in general reality can be misleading

 The underlining truth about human nature is throughout history man has developed numerous ways either build, conquer or destroy each other. George J. Anna’s in the articles The Man on the Moon has created a line of various historic events. The idea that humans were first identified as Homo sapiens and evolved by creating through scientific experiment.  Imperialism Anna’s said caused men to battle for power through scientific experiment which can cause catastrophe, which by   can nature either aid us or hinder us. One such example of domination power was great mission accomplished by man is by putting a man on the moon Apollo 11 was a mission that humans due to their dominating power and competitive nature only mission was to see who could place the first man on the moon and bring him back in this we see a broad spectrum of events that will only lead to man empirical movement.



This was one of the ways man would try to separate themselves by competing with each other. Another way human dominance exceeded in another history of events was genetically manipulating by cloning genes. This experiment has led men to the conclusion that could be a decline in a series of preventable disease ultimately eliminating death. This concept that was made by scientist is another way that men imperialism by nature of men to dominate everything including death.



Though humans Anna’s said men have not conquered death but the idea that there is eternal life has not only caused men to destroy other but eventually might one day harm the human race. The new crusade is an example of a form of exploitation that not only turned mankind against each other but it also play a role with religion. This idea of creating much religious belief is another example. The belief of god has by much not only different belief but that also many form of gods.



The idea of genetically engineered humans that will possible out live the average humans Anna’s said superior human will almost come to represent what is defined as the “other” , similarly to the movie gottaca in a world of genetically discrimination is based on genetics the movie was based on humans would one day not judge by the color of their skin but by their genetically genome. The competitive nature is highlighted in the movie. Vincent brother who was genetically better believed that he could dominate his brother by competing with him, Vincent on the other hand didn’t believe in just being a default of society he created a way in which he could prove the geneticist wrong by outliving his parent by competing with his brother and wining.



In conclusion to both the man on the moon and gottaca we see turning point of historic events leading to man creating dominating and killing each other by the earliest creation to today contemporary scientific experiments. Both are prime example why human are capable of replacing science experiment with life’s pure way of survival only known to man.

The mere mist realities of The Matrix and Oedipus the kings were unimaginable for both charters. Were for instance these two text reveals the nature of ignorance in these two cases ended up almost detrimental for both characters. Reality isn’t what you think it is you could be trapped in a world full of illusion and don’t even know it. In the allegory of the cave According to Plato his decree is the world is nothing but shadows of imperfect manifestations of forms. To shed some light on his acknowledge.  Life is flawed and we must not judge or act based on what we think we should act, we should act according to the truth.

  Therefore in the matrix the truth is revealed when NEO is forced to take make a decision when he takes the pill or not. His curiosity led him to face the consequences of his decision. What was revealed to him was the ugly dystopia of the world he saw. Similar to the matrix, Oedipus the king also based his decision based on his curiosity. His urged to know the truth about how he became king; his mother was so painful even though he didn’t want to face reality he had to. The worst part about facing the truth is accepting it and for both characters it led to destruction (the world flawed with imperfections).  

 Many inferences can be derived from both the movie and the text which also gives a parallel meaning to realty VS illusions. In my own personal experience it is very easy to get caught up in an illusion in fact this illusion is everywhere. My unrealistic nature tends to get a hold of me. I went it into the store one day to get a bracelet I couldn’t afford any way long story short I got it. not realizing the consequences that my credit card bill went up. my bracelet broke and the cost to pay for it was more than the orginal cost of the bracelet was more. My ignorance led me to this action which is depiction of ignorance is bliss

 Many of us tend to look at life through our rose colored glasses if only we would take them off for a minute and take a dose of reality. As human one of our greatest flaws is accepting reality and one of the prime examples of historical events that occur that people failed to accept reality was the great depression. In 1928 there was trouble in the American economy the stock value increased then suddenly fell causing the country to go into a great depression. The illusion that suddenly millions of shares went on sale cost the market big time. Though there were several warnings before the stock fell like the cuts back in the auto and ancillary industry caused stock market become unsteady. Now the economy went depression the people in that time were not able to realize that there would be consequences for their actions and ended up paying dearly for the poor choices they made. Since the great depression many people had lost their jobs.
  Socrates quotes "The Allegory of The Cave," he explains that giving up "the cave," the illusory reality (ideology) is painful, but gradually we accept the reality of the world outside the cave, and that world is better. the connection between this quote and the great depression is that the reality was the economy plummeted and so did most job which was a painful adjustment people had to face accept  for others is was unbearable ,some people took their own lives.
      Though condition became extremely bad from the depression life still goes on even though it is hard to accept the reality. The 1999 sequel the matrix conveys the harshness of reality that we seem to not like. However in The Matrix reality is a dystopia, while the illusion the machines have generated is the world as it was. The economy as it was in a dystopia. For many Americans life became dull cold and bitter. People were unable to buy food clothes and shelter. People had to start from scratch and this was the reality many had to face.
