Plato’s Cave: Still Current in Mass Media In the “Allegory of the Cave‚” Plato describes a group of stupefied people who have been trapped in a cave their entire lives. These prisoners are chained facing a wall; they cannot see anything except the shadows on that wall‚ which are being cast by men carrying unknown objects in front of a glowing fire. They never see the actual carriers or items‚ and they hear nothing but the echoes of these obscure men‚ yet are still entranced by these illogical sounds

Recent discoveries in quantum physics and in cosmology shed new light on how mind interacts with matter. These discoveries compel acceptance of the idea that there is far more than just one universe and that we constantly interact with many of these “hidden” universes.(1)In 1954‚ a young Princeton University doctoral candidate named Hugh Everett III came up with a radical idea: That there exist parallel universes‚ exactly like our universe. (2)These universes are all related to ours; indeed‚ they

attention each and every day. The ease of search depends primarily on how distinguishable the target of search is from the background. Often times‚ we depend on attention to facilitate this search for our given target. Attention can help one find an object by‚ say‚ focusing on the location of the target. There are two modes of attention in which people typically rely on: parallel processing and serial processing. Parallel processing involves investigating and analyzing a multitude of objects

Comparing and contrasting Plato’s "Allegory of the Cave" with Paulo Freire’s "Pedagogy of the Oppressed" is a complex example of comparing bananas with tangerines. It is hard to take in the mind of a great philosopher. It is even harder to make that mind your own. For that reason the task of fully evaluating these two pieces side by side may forever be a work in progress. Each essay contains three major points. These points discussed new and advised teaching methods‚ how man is related to or with the

ABSTRACT Nowadays‚ commercial applications are most used on parallel computers. A computer that runs such an application has to be able to process large amount of data in sophisticated ways. We can say with no doubt that commercial applications will define future parallel computers architecture. But scientific applications will still remain important users of parallel computing technology. Trends in commercial and scientific applications are merging as commercial applications perform more sophisticated
