self-awareness among the prisoners? The prison camp used social alienation techniques to bring about the destruction of self-awareness among the prisoners. They treated each prisoner like animals and did not acknowledge them as human beings. The ability to cater to basic human functions as we do was taken away.

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.

The picture makes me wonder why she is in there‚ maybe for a reason; is she hiding? Did she get put in there? Is it her feelings? Has she being bullied? Is the coloured (green) her emotion?

Plato’s allegory of the cave began with a description of a dark scene which included a group of individuals who lived in that cave since birth and knew nothing of the outside world. These individuals were confined and restricted to the point where they could not turn to their sides or look to see what was behind them‚ but could only look forward.

All the chained prisoners could see would be these shadows on the wall‚ they could hear the noises and sounds that some of the people made and would think that those shadows and noises were really.

The life of the people who lived in the communist Eastern Europe during the second half of the twentieth century resembled very much with Plato’s prisoners. Isolated from the rest of the world‚ often misinformed about what was going on behind the iron curtain‚ they were deprived from understanding what was going on with the rest of the world. This was the case with us‚ the people of Albania. The communist
