Blog 7: The Allegory of The Cave through History

 
       There are many examples in human history in which many people did not and still don’t want to accept the truth one prime example would be some foreign countries believe that women should not be allowed to drive , be seen with any guy who’s not related to her she should only be around family members,and not get an education. A lot of this comes from their religion or costumes something that in other counties we see as unfair or even strange because we are so costumed to be treated different women can do as they want in the U.S they are also independent and in this countries they view it different women have no such rights to do as they please they must do as the husband pleasesand the law says  and if they don't they will get punished for not doing as told either by humiliation and even by death. Many can't simply accept the fact that in countries such as the U.S.A both men and women are treated equal they are able to go anywhere by themselves, talk to anyone, drive, wear anything they want etc. This is something we can't imagine happening to us but it’s their reality in other parts of the world and not ours. When many come to this country and see the different treatment from their own homeland they are uncomfortable with it because it is not how they grew up or brought up so to them it is not a reality but an illusion that they grew up in and are able to make a choice of the situation whether to accept it or not. We could also see this in our past history but as time passed things started to change for the better but can still be seen around us.
