Plato's Allegory of the Cave

Today in class we watched a video called, "Plato's Allegory of the Cave". At first after watching this video I didn't quite understand what the video truly meant but after discussing it it made a lot more sense. In the video, there were three men tied in a cave. All they knew was what was in that cave, and thought that their shadows were different things that weren't really there. One of the men got out and saw the world, and found out how wrong the other men were. When he came back to the cave to explain everything he learned, the men in the cave didn't believe him and said he was stupid This relates a lot to todays world, and this led to a big class discussion.
