In my allegory I talk about a huge problem that is common in schools today‚ bullying. Over 3.2 million students are victims of bullying each year and approximately 160‚000 students skip school each day due to the fact of bullying. I chose the topic of bullying because I was personally bullied in fifth grade. It is a topic that most school principals try and push to the side and just tell everyone to get along‚ rather than solving the situation. I based my allegory off fish who symbolize students

The exhibit entitled “Tanikala” was all about the allegory of the cave by Plato. It explains the nature of reality and represents our desire to seek for the “light” which is our deeper understanding of the truth and the betterment of ourselves.

Furthermore‚ people inside the cave had no choice but to accept and consider what they see and experience is true

Philosophy Generally‚ why do people feel so disconnected to the political decisions made on their behalf by those who govern? In Book 7 of Plato’s Republic‚ Socrates outlines that this problem is not new and can be accurately shown in what he calls The Allegory of the Cave. The cave is a metaphorical situation whereby there are fictional prisoners in a fictional cave who only know the reality that is shown to them.
