Blog 3: Response to "Hype"

      Advertisements are everywhere you can see, they are becoming very toxic and polutant  in north America.
      Now a days we see around 3 billion ads that are displayed, and 3 million radio commercials, and 200, 00 tv commercials are showed daily.

People don't seem to notice the ads because they are so used to them being there, so they usually just ignore them.
 Everytime you walk out of ur house or just sulf the internet there are ads everywhere you look, or in every page of the internet that you go to. They have ads on your phone, they have ads on the gas pump, they have ads when you drive by to visit grandma, they even have ads on the popular pages like facebook, google, etc..
 I feel like ads are taking over and people don't seem to notice because they just walk by them or drive pass them and just ignore them. They don't do anything about them. For example me and my friends were walking by to the mall and there was so many ads everywhere, Like in the buildboards and inside the stores, and people walked by them like it was nothing, like they didn't even seen them.
Ads are also in like very popular pages, like facebook, and people still ignore them. For example I was with my bestfriend and we where going on facebook and there was so many ads inbetween the news feed, and on the sides there are ads that people can click to like, and some people do like them, it's crazy how people just don't seem to notice all the ads around us.
 About 12 billion or more ads are seen and displayed 3 million commercials on the radio are heard and 200, 000 tv coomericals are showed daily.

Summary of The Allegory of The Cave

In the allegory of the cave, people are chained
and they are kept in a cave. They have never
been outside, they never seen each others faces
Just the shadows that each other has.
One of the prisoners was set free and he saw the outside world
He liked it so much he wanted to show his other friends
but his friends where afraid of leaving the cage because
they where so used to being in there, and accustomed to
the darkness in there.
In the end Glaucon was able to understand what Socrates was saying
about we all having a cave that we don't like to leave
but we need to go out and see what else is there outside of our cave.
