    what is important to focus on when examining your beliefs of philosophy. As explained in the Allegory of the Cave by Plato‚ some of reality is merely shadows; in Plato’s perspective‚ this puppet show view is created by the materialistic world.

An excess of the power seeking Machiavellians and an undeniable scarcity

    thinking has transcended from Plato’s time to today. Thus‚ the allegory is relevant to contemporary essential life. Organizations are known for fostering a culture of group thinking.
