Here are my notes for this video.
- Plato believed, "The effect of education and the lack of it on our own nature."
- people are imprisoned, being forced to listen to people talk to them by shadows on the wall. (school)
- would be rewarded if you could guess what shapes were or what would come next.
- the shadows on the wall are like a movie, its different from when you see it in real life compared to T.V. (when the guy first came out of the cave)
- the sun is the light of reason
- the people in the cave are humans before philosophers.
- the person who left the cave and came back is like a philosopher trying to teach the people to think and learn.
I don't think this would be a good method to use in a classroom, it would take to much time, be hard to grade papers, and no one could agree on one idea. We would probably get very off topic.
