The Allegory the Cave

        The Allegory is about how different life is for each of us. It goes to show that we must not judge others , when you think you are in a bad situation someone else is in a worst situation than you. Blessing are not to be taken lightly. How can you know about another world without coming out your bubble and explore. According to the passage " one of the prisoners escaped to find out that everything he know was a lie." This goes to show how naive people can become if not exposed. Exposure is necessary in order to be educated and enlightened meaning we must walk before we can run.  According to the passage " when the prisoner would leave the cave for the first time he would be blinded by the sun." Getting accustom to new surroundings are never easy, it always come with a challenge of some sort. There is a guyanese proverbs that say that "you must kiss ass before you can kick ass" meaning you wouldn't always be new, you will learn and grow with experience. 

     I am not where I would like to be in my life but I am thankful for my blessing. I am where god wants me to be. Being a foreigner to this land have thought me that we as foreigners are not the same privileges but are given the chance to prove that we are just as good. So here i am taking my chance at a given opportunity and putting my best foot forward and make the best of it. As much as a change it is from back home I intend to embrace my future with an open mind and push until I succeed and accomplish my goals. There is no stopping full steam ahead...

I KNOW THE TRUTH

     In the passage "I know the Truth" By Jeffrey Kluger; states that as humans we have always been suckers for rumors and fabrication of fairy tales. Researchers have only recently conducted a survey to determine how sticky artificial beliefs are and how believing in them would make us free. The study also found that out after a number of tests were performed that at least one rumor was believed more than the others, the entire research was done to determine if the exposure of the facts would change the opinions and if so how would it be presented. As the facts were gathered the researchers came up with a number of conclusions to what would happen if the facts were presented. It was then said that it would be easier to manipulate the truth in order to get what is needed. I agree with author when he says "even when people take the time to learn the facts it does no good", this is because we often contradict ourselves where the truth is concerned.

     In the passage " I know the Truth" By Jeffrey Kluger; states that as humans we have always been suckers for rumors and fabrication of fairy tales.

I agree with author when he says " even when people take the time to learn the facts it does no good", this is because we often contradict ourselves where the truth is concerned.

     Truth is the body of real events or facts; actuality. Knowing some form of truth can be both nerve racking and unsettling for some people. When it come to speaking the truth or finding out what is facts or fiction is like weeding out the good from the bad. For example if someone tells you a story about what happen and you already heard the story from someone else, and the story ends up being totally different to what was said before to you. You now have to decide who was telling the truth and who is not and how you're going to wade through the options. Thus making it difficult to actually differentiate the truth as a whole.

     Finding out the hard facts of the truth or telling the truth is much harder than telling a little white lie. What can a little white lie do. Facts is that when you tell a lie u have to tell another to cover that lie and another and the cycle keeps going on. Some people are so wrapped up in telling lies that they believe it themselves until they can't differentiate what is the truth and what are the lies. For example someone who always wanted to go up in an hot air balloon lying about going in one when they had not ever been in close proximity of a hot air balloon. they are always the one who are the one who are quick to jump a say that they have done the task when in truth  is that fabrication is big in their imagination. Facts is that we don't know why we lie but it was proven to feel better than ones count apart we all lie to feel important. The truth is lies hurt....

HYPE!!

 

 

       In the article "Hype" the author Kalle Lasn; states that advertisements are no longer in the confined to their usual places. the author further went to explain that they have become more prevalent of today, and it have increased so rapidly and relentlessly  that we haven't quite used to it all. Even the country side have been littered with advertisements. advertisement are so popular that they have become the most prevalent and toxic of mental pollutants today. From the moment your alarm sounds in the morning to the wee hours of late night advertisement s flood the brain into over load daily. I agree with the author that advertisement have become more prevalent of today, I also think that there is no hiding from advertisements.

 

      The annoying fact about advertisement is that we cannot go any where without seeing them. Facts are that there is no running and hiding from advertisements. As mindless as they are, advertisements may useful to some while annoying to others. Advertisements comes in different gradients with an numerous amount of meaning some being funny while others degrading to some extent. For example the car commercial that has young women in shorts an just a bikini to try to get some loyal customer to purchase a car or other merchandise. As enticing as that may be to some, it can also be belittling to others of the female sex. Advertisement can become addictive after a while if indulged upon on a daily base it can literally become so monumental that it can take up your life to some extent.

 

      Another fact about advertisement is that it can make you spend unnecessary money on material item that will eventually  become useless in the long run. Thus the items will eventually take up space in your home and your life eventually. For example you already have a million and one pair of shoes that is already not being worn but yet still because the commercial on television says that an added pair will make you loose weight. The advertisement make their pitch so flattering that whom ever is watching it becomes gullible to the fact that it will also become another useless article that takes up space and end up not being used.

     In conclusion to say that advertisements have become more prevalent of today and that there is no running and hiding form advertisements...
