In Plato's book, The Republic, Plato explains his theories about how everything is forms. He does this by writing a story about some prisoners who are chained together facing a cave wall. These prisoners grew up in the cave. Behind the prisoners there is a short wall and behind that is a large fire. The guards teach the prisoners by putting shadows of animals and objects on the wall in front of the prisoners. One prisoner escapes and sees that animals and objects are not shadows. Having seen this he can't go back to believing the guards.
Reality TV is changing our perspectives on reality. These shows are over dramatized and scripted. Most people, however, believe that they are not scripted. They are starting beginning to act like these people. My sister loves the reality show The Hills. She is constantly acting like the girls on that show. She believes she can’t live unless there is drama in her life. She can’t go back to a relatively drama free life. She has to continually pick fights with family and friends and put her boyfriend in the center of her life.
