Paper - False Realities
The Allegory of the Cave presents a scenario where a majority of people believe in a false reality. This false reality changes how people perceive the world, and it also changes what people think of themselves. The prisoner who is able to escape this false reality returns with a belief about the outside world that is significantly different than all the other people.
What is something I believe that most people do not believe, but I hold that it is true. In your argument, be sure to include how this false reality changes what people think of themselves and how people perceive the world differently because of this false reality. Your argument will also need to address one reasonable objection raised against your thesis.
