In Plato's "The Allegory of the Cave," Socrates tells a story to his student Glaucon to explains how far our nature is enlightened or unenlightened, from living in a cave to adjusting to the real world. he explains the meaning of life of how people have to adjust to different changes, such as living in a certain place,and  that they will have adapt to new changes. he also tell Galucon that if one is exposed to one life does not mean another life does not live, and that the prison-house is the world of sight, he also says that in the world of knowledge the idea of good appears last of all, and is only seen with effort he basically explain that life has so much to offer and you will only see the good of it if your eye is fixed.

In " I Know the Truth, So Don't Bother Me With Facts", the Arthur Jeffery Kluger explains how easily humans are deceived by rumors and flat-out lies. he began his piece by mentioning how easily it is to manipulate people's belief system with insinuating  picture's and inflammatory quote's. Even though people are told lies after lies, they don't take the time to learn the truth.The reason maybe is that people don't want to hear the truth. it could also be because of their simple ego, and nobody like being told that they're wrong. for example, a researcher, at Ohio State University said that people change their opinion often and fewer than a third of people or willing to reverse their position regardless of evidence that they're given. another reason could be that people are stubborn, and being told that they're wrong is like saying there is no sun. I’m the  type of person that does not  like being prove that i am wrong. I feel as if i am told that i am wrong,someone has more power over me or is smarter than me.It is because they're right and I’m wrong, so I see where Kluger is getting at. Kluger ends his piece by explaining that it’s up to us to find a place in a world full of facts and make our decision based on that information.we may not always agree on what those facts mean, but we shouldn't be easily deceived.

     In the passage, '' Hype", by Kalle Lasn,  the author discusses the hype of advertisements and how everyday people  are storing thousands of marketing ads, radio commercials, etc.  in their brains. In addition, the author makes the point  that nowadays more kids  know the Oscar Meyer wiener song than  a Beethoven Classic. Basically the narrator is discussing the idea that people are storing useless information in there brain, and its due to the 12 billion display ads and the 3 million radio commercials. Its not the fault of individuals that their getting this  overwhelming amount of information There is nowhere to hide; there  are ads all over the place, on billboards, buses, stadiums etc. Everywhere you look there is an ad telling you about something new to purchase.
         As  I read this passage, it makes me really wonder how many ads that I see per day, and there may be more than 20 ads, which can be seen from building towers to taxis, especially in New York city, where there an ads on every block. Also, from watching the most recent Sunkist commercial, with the girl dancing, I  know how to do the dance and sing the song by heart. While sitting at home and watching one of my favorite shows , “The Bad Girls Cub”, the Sunkist commercial happen to come on twice before my show come back on. People remember commercials  by having the t.v. on and the commercials constantly playing.     
           Ads are a part of society and the human race, ads are not going away and there is no exception,   no one will be spared, and there is nowhere to run!
