    “Plato’s Allegory of the Cave”
    (Critical Thinking, Communication, Character)

    “Some prisoners are chained inside a cave, facing the back wall. Behind
    them is a fire, with people passing in front of it. The prisoners cannot turn
    their heads, and have always been chained this way. All they can see
    and hear are shadows passing back and forth and the echoes bouncing
    off the wall in front of them. One day, prisoner is freed, and dragged
    outside the cave. He is blinded by the light, confused, and resists being
    led outside. But eventually his eyes adjusts so that he able to see clearly
    the things around him, and even the sun itself. He came to realize that the
    things he thought were real were merely shadows of real things, and that
    life outside of the cave is far better than his previous life in chains. He pities
    those still inside. He ventures back into the cave to share his discovery with
    the others—only to be ridiculed because he can hardly see (his eyes have
    trouble at first re-adjusting to the darkness). He tried to free the other
    prisoners but they violently resisted (the other prisoners refuse to be freed
    and led outside, and they even tried to kill him)”.
