Similarities and Differences in Reality_1

1.After reading the Synopsis of the Matrix, Plato’s the Republic and Meditation ofDescartes, it can be said that there are similarities and differences both. In all of thestories the persons were doubtful of what is the reality. Each of the individual of thestories wants to believe that the things they are sensing is only the reality. The differencesin these stories are that The Matrix was accessed by a computer system, Plato’s cave bymankind and Descartes by the evil perceptions of demon. While comparing The Matrixand The Plato’s Cave it can be seen that the individuals try to face the person who ismanipulating the peoples (Plato, 1886). In both the stories the individuals doesn’t knowanything about the reality but only about the world in which they are living. In matrix theindividuals are captured and kept in a pod and are feed with images which helps them inkeeping in a dream world (Wachowski & Wachowski, 1999). Similarly, in Plato’s cavethe individual’s were bound in chains from the childhood and are shown some shadowwhich they were made to believe that they were real. Now while comparing betweenDescartes and The Matrix it can be seen that both the stories are based on the currentreality. In both of these stories the individuals are captured and are separated from thereal world. For Descartes it is controlled by evil demons, where as in The Matrix it iscontrolled by a super computer.2.According to Descartes, everything inside us inherited from the ancestors. He believesthat God has some existence in this world. God had provided us with senses and mindthrough which we used to think, believe and do our work (Descartes, 2013). Further byusing the law of reality it can be stated that for creating something the creator must putmore reality in the creation. If the people believe that god is real then they can dependupon the reality of their senses.
