it is still relevant today because we still have people that are very ignorant and believe what most people want to believe. people like Kim Jong Un who are making the people believe in what he believes in and nothing else. people may not agree with the truth and only believe what they want to. Although there are some people though that show bravery and stand up to the people that dis agree to you and believe in the truth even when others don't.

Yes, it does. It has relevance in our world today by learning new things, trying new things and seeing new things. Such as when Port Adelaide and Gold Coast Suns played an AFL game during the home and away season in China for 4 points. Also in 2015 when Fremantle played against Carlton in New Zealand during the home and away season for 4 points.

The importance of truth or meaning is important to human life, as people always question meaning and importance. There is always a question of why and how some people chose to ignore as others are not satisfied. If humans did not have the ability to question or have curiosity we would not develop as people. If we never questioned anything we would be like puppets on a string.

I believe Plato’s allegory has a lot of relevance to our world today because many people are still ignorant and refuses to know what is going on around the world. It is especially important to know any risks or dangerous if you are travelling overseas.

Plato’s Allegory:

It is relevant today because of the stuff that is happening. Back then is similar to now because the wars and robberies.

It does have relevance in our world today as there are many types of technology and people that can change how we think. Things like social media take up a lot of time and interest of many people. Social media can change our minds just like the mind of the prisoner who escaped was changed when he was exposed to the truth. The views of other people can affect you in good and bad ways.

This allegory is still relevant today because people have different views on the world than others. People can be ignorant to the truth, for example when Donald. J. Trump calls reporters fake news because he can't accept the truth.

# data[].attributes.body
The allegory has relevance as people still act as though they know what is right and wrong but they fail to act global warming, war and other threats arise but people act as though they don’t see anything. If we see shadows and interpret what they are why do we not question it. People interpret what they see, but they never question it. People rely on something if they don’t they don’t know what to rely on If they believe that the truth is the truth, let them lie in the webs rather then struggle trying.

I AGREE WITH AHYDEN

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that it is still relevant as people of today are still ignorant and have been for quite a while. Some people are ignorant to the point where they do not care. I also believe that there are not enough people trusting others in what they do. For example at first we didn't really trust Donald Trump but he is president now and it didn't really change anything majorly. If people believed in what others said a little bit more than people wouldn't really have a problem with others. But for some reason there is judgement for what people say and do. I believe that this is relevant because of all of the things I've stated.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes it is relevance because people still have problems and need away to solve them. Just think people all don't look and think the same so we will still disagree like my brother and I we don't see eye to eye with every thing but we still are living people that deserve to disagree or solve them.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe this allegory is still relevant today because others around us are still an influence to our way of thinking and our reality. I think this is because media (specifically news) influences our informational stream to only show us the things they want. For example, CNN will show terrorist attacks happening in Paris and London but nothing about central Asia, the Middle East, this is so we can ignore other parts of the world's problems and also so we feel that the magnitude of the problem is much smaller.

This Allegory has a major relevance in our world today because many people have their own arrogance’s in their life and won’t stand for any people telling them they are living life wrong. Many of these arrogances can kill people such as drugs, drinking and smoking and some are less beneficial for the person to be the best they can be. Arrogance is ruining people in our world today like the people in the Allegory because they decided to live in the caves looking at shadows instead of looking at the real things like the man that left the cave. There are people today that are trying to make new discoveries like the man that left the cave and are trying to improve the world that we live in today. We are like the people in the cave because we are arrogant to believe these discoveries and live the way we want to. z^�^t&/5

I think that this allegory is still very relevant today because it is like the media is either trying to let us all ‘out of the cave’ or they are keepings us ‘chained up’ and lettings us have our own little prefect world. Anybody that says this allegory is outdated doesn’t want to accept that there are people like that or that they very well might be like the people chained up and just watching shadows. In recent times, the internet has helped get the people to stop watching the shadows and to try and see the world for what it really is and to help those that have already been released from the chains. Sadly though, there will always be people that don’t have an open mind and don’t want to be free because they don’t want to accept the real world, examples of this are Galileo being criticized for saying that we revolved around the sun, people who don’t see the racial problems in various countries. There are many more but those are famous examples.

3) Plato’s Allegory of the cave describes how people can be blinded by the truth and when told the truth, will not believe it. I believe that this allegory does have a lot of relevance today, all though not as much as back then. With the internet information wizzes all over the world with the click of a button. However, not all information is true. Though there is many true things most of the information can get mixed up or just be a total lie. Also it’s harder to tell if someone is lying on the internet because it is all anonymous. Because of this the world is very transparent. This is the exact same as the allegory. After one person is set free of just looking into the shadows he comes back to tell the rest of the real world and they do not believe him. The same as how people are taught lies on the internet and then don’t believe when they aren’t true

In the story “Allegory of the Cave” Socrates describes a group of prisoners being chained to a wall watching these shadows which are really people walking behind them, making them think them to be whatever they want them to be. This is some what’s in real life but not really. How its in real life is people don’t really change there minds from something they known all there life’s to believe something that they never seen. For example when they describe the shadows and then saw the thing they describe outside of the cave they wouldn’t believe.

The prisoners could not move there heads because there heads where chain so they couldn’t see the people behind them. They didn’t know what they were or where the shadows where coming from all they knew was they seen them and wanted to describe on how they look to them. In our world we are being controlled by the media and we think what the media tells us to think because we don’t know the truth. I think the real world is our cave because of the media but the cave we are in is easier to get out of and also you can get out when ever you want to.

The internet is a major component because anyone can post anything now days like a book or blogs etc. Anyone can publish their own writing or write about all of their opinions and post them online where millions of people can see their opinions.

I strongly feel that it is relevant today and will be forever. There will always be different outlooks on things and there will always be something that can be seen multiple ways. Something presented to a person who lives in Australia would may be different to a person in America. I strongly believe that this will continue to be relevant forever as there will always be different opinions and outlooks on certain things. This allegory has a good message that will continue to be relevant to every person.

Yes this
allegory does have relevance to our world today. Many new inventions and
discovery’s are founded around the world every day, and many are just turned
down. When telling of these new findings a lot of people could just look past
what they are looking at, not thinking about the benefits. The same thing could
happen towards problems and difficulties as a lot of people do not understand
the true meaning, they take things for granted. The true meaning is then lost
and no recognition is left as to why the problem is so important showing the
real meaning. This happens all the time and is therefore relevant to our every
day to day lives.
