The world according to television has a true power over us in the the article as well as reality. Age to me has the most influence on television to how we think of someone. We see the expanding elderly class as helpless individual that are always running on about this or that. Youth see the elderly as a class that has no effect on which is really wrong. They set the foundation as to what we become later in life supporting us through out parents and even some raising us. Television is the humans main source for receiving information in today's society. When something is played in this alternate reality we tend to grab ahold of it and use that as our norms going back to red pill blue pill. We use television in a reverse order as the red pill wanting to learn more in which we go deeper into what is being played. I agree with Mr. Walter's being that he see's you don't see the strength of the elderly. They teach us a lot in real life and are providers as well as advice givers. He feels the youth in the world are most susceptible to going with the norms of television which I agree with being of the youth television has a profound influence on me.
The cult Kalle Lasn says we all belong to our own equity. Yes we are all our own individuals self and we see our life fit how we want to. Cults help us escape from whats actually happening create a bliss of reality in which we accept but find ourselves still searching for something and knowing everything isn't okay. Television is this cult. It recruits us without even knowing it and puts us into a category as we change our appearance or the way we speak and other characteristics of our daily lives. We perceive our world as a high class materialistic individuals whom are not satisfied with the standards and the means of living that we ever stand in.

Matrix

I'd rather in any situation learn the truth, whether it hurt me or not. Being oblivious to situation that you are not happy with is living life as a lie. As in the short clip from the Matrix I would take the red pill. In life you must experience to help your knowledge of life expand. Going into the rabbit hole deeper while at the same time not knowing what it beholds is a new. People today are terrified in many instances and allow to just past by life without question the morns or situations they feel aren't right. Neo challenges these norms.
Plato's cave relates relatively close to the matrix. In Plato's story the cave is like the matrix because it appears different to each individual. Being tied down and only being able to see what is in front of you. Plato describes how a person enter's into light and a first cannot see what is exactly is in front of them but more along the lines of adapting as time passes to see. Put someone in the dark and after a month or two they will adjust to those settings. We are all imprisoned to the world. We have ideas of how we see things and everyone doesn't agree with that vision, some people choose the red pill instead of the blue pill. Everyone who takes the blue pill is only deeper imprisoning themselves to lie's and scandals that the world dishes out.
The movie shows Neo that what the world is actually showing him is a lie. Plato's cave does this to the individual in the same manner giving light through it but also dark more along the lines of tricking the mind to believing not what is actually being shown but the mask over it. Neo chooses to see the world as it is and Morphous does that for him in the clip.
