blog 2_ Allegory of the cave

The allegory of is cave is a theory that shows how can people only believe in what their eyes have seen all his life. Is about a group of prisoners chained in their arms legs and necks and all that they have seen all their life since childhood is a wall with fire in its front and all they see is shadows. Watching these shadows they use to play games by trying to guess with kind of shadow with come up. One prisoner escape and with a lot of fear he goes out the cave and realize that that their world is more than just a simple cave, looking for the first time at the sun, clouds etc. fascinated with this he went back to the cave to let his friends know about this but they think he was crazy by saying that those shadows where real people outside the cave. When people are raised only in one kind of environment is going to be their world until they know there is more than just what they know.
