what is plato's myth of the cave????? let me explain it ok..
Plato myth of the cave is about several prisoners live in an underground cave. They have been there since their childhood the worst thing is they cannot move anywhere because there have chains tight them.
Behind them,there is only fire .They cannot see anything except their own shadow,between prisoners and fire there is a screen which puppets player show their puppets. And one day there is an old man who are sympathizes with their conditions.
Actually the prisoners, the chains, the fire, the shadow ,the puppets player and the old man is just an analogy to symbolize something.
The task was given to us, we have to related the real world with the the Plato's analogy. i have chosen Malaysian political system. In my opinion,
The prisoners is symbolise The Malaysian's citizen
The Chains is symbolize The Laws that our country have
The Fire is symbolize The Politicians in Malaysia country
The Shadows and The Image is symbolize their manifesto before election day, they say promise to people.
The Puppet Players is symbolize The wealthy people and the person who are standing behind them are politicians.
The Chains is symbolize The Laws that our country have
The Fire is symbolize The Politicians in Malaysia country
The Shadows and The Image is symbolize their manifesto before election day, they say promise to people.
The Puppet Players is symbolize The wealthy people and the person who are standing behind them are politicians.
The Old Man is symbolize knowledge
the reason why the prisoners hurt his eyes when he was first liberate it is because the prisoners cannot accept the truth thing what happens in their life.
the prisoners still insist that the images which he has seen before is real that the statues because, they cannot accept the truth thing and of course the truth thing is very hurtful...
