The Heroic Choice in the Matrix

One of the choices Neo has to make in The Matrix is save Morpheus from the agents. The reason why the agents want it to kill Morpheus because they wanted the code for them to be able to access the real world. So Morpheus people had to disconnect him, but Neo refuse to and said he was going to rescues him so he sacrifice his life to save Morpheus.
Another choice he made in The Matrix was choosing to leave The Matrix and find out what the real world is out there. I think he was brave enough to made this choose even though he did not know what he had to go through. Once he was out of The Matrix he started to knew what the real world was and how fake it was.

response to I know the truth

According to the article " I know the truth, So don't bother me with facts" by Jeffrey Kluger in time magazine, talks about how easy society could believe in facts even though they know it might be wrong.

The authors states that society is affected by lies and rumors. For example, the mosque that is going to be build tenth miles away from the 9/11 on the site of the coat factory. A lot of Americans do not agree with this because they have read a lot of things on the newspapers that are against the place where they want to build it but they would not read or have not read the opposite which it could be good things about the Culture Center.
Another thing the author mentions is hard to let people understand the truth even with evidence because what is already in the human’s brain is hard to prove wrong no matter if you have evidence that proves them wrong. In the other hand we have some people that may not always agree with the facts so they actually welling to believe in the truth.
At some point in your life you must of have live an illusion you was trap in your own cave. When I was a child I use to believe in Santa Clause I mean who did not believe in him at some point of your life. I use to believe Santa was real until I was 9 years old, no matter what my friends use to say I was trap in my illusion that Santa does exist and that all they saying is lies to me, but one Christmas eve I cough my grandmother putting my present under the tree. So, at the age of 9 is when I came out of ma cave and believe the reality Santa never exists is just something that we all grow up believing in it. 
Like in the allegory of the cave the author prove to us that living in a cave for your entire life and leaving in your own illusion would not help you realize what’s really going on out there in the real world. The allegory of the cave and I know the truth so dint bother me with facts relate to each other. The way they realty to each other is that people live in their own illusion and they do not want to accept reality because they afraid to know was behind the real world.

review of the summary

Our nature is not all about the enlightenment not everything in life is colorful and a good example of how our nature is unenlightened. The main idea of the “Allegory of the Cave” is that people are trap in their own illusion and they would not accept what reality really is. Leaving underground is something no human being would like to experience but in this case a group of people been in a tunnel since their childhood they were chain together and facing a wall, they could not even turn their neck. On back of them there was a long walk reaching the light. This people could not differentiate any object because all they would see is shadows. For example, they would see something and they would call it book because of the shape but it might not be a book it could be a frame or any other object. They not even able to see who was really talking they though it was one of the guys around them but it was not it was people from outside and when they use to pass by their echo would hit the wall and would spread the voice around the den.

One of the guys was release and when he went out there to the real world his eyes hurt it him do to the light and he did not accept the real world because he was use to the world he lived in. The hardest thing for him was recognizing the subject around him because he never saw them before, so for him it was really hard and he felt sorry for the prisoners who are underground.
When he came back to the cave he told all the other prisoners that the world out there is way different from what is inside the den.

the allegory of the cave

Our nature is not all about the enlightenment not everything in life is colorful and an good example of how our nature is unenlightened. leaving underground is something no human being would like to experience but in this case a group of people been in a tunnel since their childhood they were chain together and facing a wall they could not even turn their neck and on back of them there was a long wall and reaching the light. this people could not differentiate any object because all they would see is hadows. For example, they would see somethin nd they would call it book because of the shape but it might not be a book it could be a frame or any other object. They not even able to see who was really talking they though it was one of the huys around them but it was not it was people from outside and when they use to pass by their echo would hit the wall and would spread the voice around the den.

One of the guys was realess and when he went out there to the real worl his eyes hurted him do to the light and he did not accept the real world becuase he was use to the worl he lived in. The hardest thing for him was recognizing the subject around him because he would now see a frame nd he would say no thats not a frame its a book. So for him it was really hard and he felt sorry for the people whos underground .

"How to do one thing at a time"

Doing many things at once could be a big problem. The article "How to do one thing at a Time" adopted from Womens's Magazine, May 2010 shows why doing many things at once is a problem.
This passage talks about hhow multi-task can be a losing proposition. in other words when your doing a lot of things a lot of things at once is a not a smart idea that we chose as a human being. Talking  on the phone or texting while driving is really not a smart idea at all if we really think bout it.
Well, according to the author of tis article texting while you are driving? really dumb idea, this one one of the multi-task we normaly do and it could bring you a lot of consequences. Once of the reason why texting while driving is not a smart move is because you are not really focus in either one. Most of the time the driver is more concern in what is he or she is going to write back, and this could cause an accident. It might not be a really bad accident but you not only hurting yourself you also hurting somebody else.
I have had an expirience, I was not the driver but my brother was. He was texting while driving and he did not notiuce he pass a red light. As a result of these he did not only get a ticket but he also lost 2 points in his driving lincense. What the autjor is trying to make us understand is that making more than one thing at a time is not good because you are not paying attention to none of the activities you are doing.
In conclusion, multi-task is something we should not do if we want things to come out the right way and not regret it later on. Remember that you not only hurting yourself but also others.
