The Matrix

Here is the Movie
We will continue on our quest to understand what Plato was saying when he told the story "The Allegory of the Cave" by watching "The Matrix."  Ultimately, and most importantly, we are working on understanding the concept that people either create or discover solutions to all of life's problems based on their understanding of how the world works.  This is what a philosophy is.  From Socrates to our Founding Fathers the point is to understand why having a philosophy matters to you and the world we live in.  Both "The Matrix" and "The Allegory of the Cave" present similar views of how one can understand the world (which are very different from how you see the world now).
Matrix Activity: 1) Complete the chart (we've already done Allegory of the Cave, Your Life and Montana 1948) and then write what you believe the point of the activity is.
