The Allegory of the Cave... ooh ahh!

Today in class we watched an animated film about The Allegory of the Cave by Plato. The video was odd at first and I did not understand it that well until we discussed it and then got severely off topic. Overall it was about how you know what you see and if you have to think a certain way and don't question what is you will never learn to think for yourself and build your own ideas. You will have certain people who will break out and think for themselves.
