We watched a video in western civ today and it really tied into what we were  talking about this chapter. We found out in the video, that the main character was more like Socrates . Socrates was a very opened minded man, and he tried to teach people by asking them questions, and seeing if what they believe in is what they really believe in. he was put to death because he was trying to get into the minds of people and show them things for what they really are. We also tied that with social media and everything else on TV. We sit there in front of the TV believing everything people are telling us, because they said that's how that particular object or situation is ,and because since the object is all fancy and pretty we should get it. Basically showing off the good and hiding the bad.  Also showing us that bad things are bad things and we cant do anything about it, that's just how it is. But if we look at things for what they really are, we will see that we were blinded by what the media is telling us, and not looking into more detail for certain things.
