Describe the Allegory of Plato's cave:
- People are telling you but its not always true. Prisoners were strapped to a wall looking at another wall. Then one prisoner was let go and came back to tell the other prisoners what he saw. No one believed him because he couldn't see right because of how dark the cave was and he just came out from the light. Its hard to prove your point when no one can see what your point is.
