In the text âSummary of Allegory of the Caveâ, by Plato he summarizes people whoâs trap in the cave, since their birth. They were considered prisoners thats been chained inside the cave and unable to flip themself around. This had made people inside the cave believed that the cave is their only truth to the world. They couldnât thought about any ideas of having a outside world. However, there was one prisoner thatâs brought to the outside world and experience the new world and sees more truth than just live inside the cave. It had changed his thought and set him free apart from the cave. After he went back to the cave, he tries to tell everyone that there was a new world outside and it is completely different from the live inside the cave. The other prisoners did not believe in him, they think there is only the life in cave and no other else. As if than, they sees the persons as a dangerous one. They couldnât believe their beliefs are wrong and this had locked them in place for rest of their life. Plato uses the cave example to explain people who was unable to have educations and when someone comes with educations to help them, they couldnât believe it was possible. And people whoâs brought out the cave could be represent by educations, this led people to experience a new world and separated from people whoâs uneducated. Every person has the ability to learn and have educations to make their own world appear.
