What Are The Similarities Between Two Prisoners
Just like the two prisoners in the cave many others in the world are similar. There is a lot of people that are accustomed to things and do not seek change when they see change can occur. Although, there are people who are the opposite, they are not shy of getting accustomed to new things. There are some people to take the challenge of change head on rather than run off.The two prisoners who stuck in the cave dark did not believe in the light outside because they had not ever seen it, so they chose to deny it and stay away from it and not even consider it being true. Many people are stubborn like that and would not consider something out of their knowledge true and prefer to call it crazy and wrong, rather than opening their mind new

    Similarities Between Hitler And Joseph Stalin

    Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin were two of the most evil men in history, responsible for countless atrocities. They had many similarities as well. Both men committed genocide to further their political agenda, massively improved the militaries of their respective countries, had their own different groups of secret police and spies, and finally they were both tyrannical totalitarian dictators. Despite sharing many similarities, their government structure and political philosophies were very different. Adolf Hitler was a Fascist who believed in a highly centralized government with himself at the top of the pyramid. Joseph Stalin was a communist who believed in collectivism and instilling fear into his political opposition. Although there are…

    Similarities Between Tupac And Biggie

    In this essay I will be comparing the differences and similarities between Tupac Amaru Shakur and Christopher Wallace also knows as “Biggie” who both are male rappers and reined a pretty short but yet famous mid 90’s career in the music industry. I first would start off with Notorious B.I.G and his differences from Tupac. Biggie is from Brooklyn, NY, he was the only child raised by his mother Voletta Wallace, who lived in the poverty-stricken projects of Brooklyn. Biggie took to his surroundings at young age by transporting and selling drugs and also raising his daughter who he didn’t get to see much. After an incident that involved him and his friend, Biggie was spared by his friends loyalty to him by taking the fall for felony gun and drug charges; which then drove Biggie to put his all into his music and then caused him to meet his soon to be manger/business partner/best friend/ Sean Comb also knows as Puff Daddy and many various names.…

    Similarities Between Jekyll And Hyde

    At this point in the story, Dr. Jekyll has not completely accepted Edward Hyde as being a part of him. He recognizes that Edward Hyde is “pure evil” but needs further proof that so much evil can be part of a person that is good. The story describes his transformation after drinking the potion as mental, physical, and spiritual. The spiritual part is very interesting because Dr. Jekyll in part always thought he was a fraud and even though he did walk the line of good he expected he was not truly good. I think Hyde was a manifestation of his thoughts of impurity because deep down he believed to have a good soul he must never have impure thoughts. I think this was his true…

    Fahrenheit 451 Socratic Seminar

    Keeping people out of “the cave” can be a burdensome task that requires a plentiful amount of strategy and intelligence. “The cave” may be defined as a somber place where the ignorance of those who inhabit it manifests and thrives, and this cave is an internal part of one’s mind, body, and soul. In order to keep people out of the cave, one must make certain that the confined are enlightened, the false interpretations of the real world are analyzed, the chains of limitations are released, and the truth must always be spoken. In schools, countries, and everywhere around the world, it is crucial that all inhabitants are enlightened and given the opportunity to learn, interpret, and experience the meaning of life. It is up to everyone to assist each other and speak the truth. It is up to everyone to construct the world and society in which it is healthy and safe to live. It is up to everyone to keep each other out of “the cave.”…

    What Is The Difference Between Earlonne And The Other Inmates

    In my opinion, I feel like an appropriate amount of time for inmates to be in the SHU should depend on what type of crime they committed. For example, if inmates are there because they killed someone then they should be there for 5 years but if they’re there because they raped and killed someone then they do deserve to be there for decades so they can pay and suffer for what they did instead of giving them death penalty or having them in jails or prisons. But I also think about all the side effects it could bring to the inmates and that could make it worst for them, their families, and the other inmates.…

    The Penitentiary Rivalry: The American Prison System

    The penitentiary rivalry has cause a lot of changes within our American prison system. The rivalry implemented design changes every so often which led to better prison population and control of the inmates within them, because every state wanted the best prison system. A few of the changes that came from these rivalries were how they built the inmate cells, they built them so that the inmates or criminals inside them could not see the other inmates or have contact with them. They also allowed inmates to eat with each other rather than separate but this had to be done in complete silence. This rivalry made different types of prisons come about, rather than put all offenders together regardless of crimes committed they…

    Prisoners During The 1900's

    Treatment and punishment towards prisoners during the 1900’s for their beliefs was extremely unfair and some unnecessary. Men chose to fight for what the belief in and do what they thought was right but received endless jail time and cruel punishment. Three men specifically whose names are Philip Grosser, Robert Lipscomb, and Morton Sobell. They all had their way taking action in what they believed in but were punished. Standing up for what you believe in should never come at cost where you lose your rights as an individual.…

    Comprehension of Prisoners Without Trial

    Roger Daniels’ book Prisoners without Trial is another book that describes the internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. This piece discusses about the background that led up to the internment, the internment itself, and what happened afterwards. The internment and relocation of Japanese-Americans during World War II was an injustice prompted by political and racial motivations. The author’s purpose of this volume is to discuss the story in light of the redress and reparation legislation enacted in 1988. Even though Daniels gives first hand accounts of the internment of Japanese Americans in his book, the author is lacking adequate citations and provocative quotations. It’s unfortunate that Daniels does not provide the more substantive treatment he used in the volume he co-edited with Sandra Taylor, Japanese Americans, From Relocation to Redress.…

    Plato's Allegory Of The Cave

    Plato’s Allegory of the Cave presents an enthralling concept that holds strong to this day. In the allegory three main ideas are illustrated : that we have been conditioned to a definite reality since birth, we scorn being brought into the ‘light’ of knowledge, and that we (as a society) reject anything that contradicts the notions of our preconceived reality. Clever Plato took these ideas and weaved them into an intriguing story of prisoners trapped in an underground cave, and then what happens when one of them was enLIGHTened. Surprisingly it applies in many ways to our society in modern times, nowadays no one questions what is true and what is false. It’s exactly as Aldous Huxley feared, we’ve become lost in…

    Prisons Compare and Contrast

    Prisons systems have changed after the first penitentiary was opened known as the Eastern Penitentiary. The theory of penitentiary was that by keeping criminals locked in their cell with not outside influences so that they can reflect on their past as well as become more religious is a way that the person will change their lives for the better and in return this would reform the person so upon release they were God fearing people that could function in society. These prisoners were locked in their cell 23 hours a day and had 30 minutes twice a day for yard time that was no just outside their cell. The inmates worked along in their cell, doing what they were told to do. They ate in their cell and only were allowed to have two books and one being that of the bible. Auburn was the first penitentiary to put this method into action. (Foster, 2006)…

    Benjamin Franklin

    “The Allegory of the Cave” presents enlightenment in an intriguing way. A figurative scenario within a cave occurs. In this scenario, a group of people are living in a cave where they have been put in all types of restraints only allowing them to look forward at the wall opposite of the light. The light casts shadows onto the wall. At some point in time, a shadow appears and to some, a voice is also heard. The shadow is then rumored to be god. No one in the cave argues this idea of god because they do not yet know any better, or they have not yet been enlightened. After a while, one person is taken from the cave and is shown “god”. This person is the enlightened one. They now know that what they believed to be true is actually false. Once placed back into the cave, the enlightened one can no longer see. This person no longer shares ideas with those of the cave. When the enlightened one attempts to create a paradigm shift by revealing the truth, people get upset and argumentative.…

    The Republic of Plato Book VII: A Close Analysis

    Socrates describes people in a cave since birth, bound so they can only see what is in front of them. There are shadows and sounds that can be observed but the source is unknown. Socrates says in 515c, “…such men would hold that the truth is nothing other than the shadows of artificial things.” Their reality is limited by their experience. Then a prisoner is freed from the bonds and is forced to look at the fire and the statues that were used to cast the shadows on the walls. He is overwhelmed by the revelations and learns that the shadows were not the reality. Socrates says in 515d, “Don’t you suppose he’d be at a loss and believe that what was seen before is truer than what is now shown?” It is painful for him to learn and recalibrate his world. He wants to cling to the stability and simple nature of what he knew before, but he now understands the statues and fire as the new reality. This would equate to the transition from childhood to adulthood, or from a basic laborer to a supervisory role of responsibility. Finally he is dragged out of the cave into the world. The sun is so brilliant he cannot look at it or anything on the surface of the world. He does not want to be dragged (forced to learn) and cannot comprehend everything he is being exposed to. He is initially overwhelmed by the intensity but eventually grows accustomed to the light and sees the real things – people, trees, sun, stars, etc. He is enlightened (educated) and understands now that the statues were just representative of these real things, as the shadows were representative of the statues. His knowledge and understanding increases with each level he is raised up (from bonds, to the cave, to the surface). He can now even understand how these real things interact and draw conclusions from his observations; that the sun…
