Plato and Susan
Plato:

This text is all about limited knowledge and unique representation system. When he gives the example the “cave people” he emphasize on the fact that they do not have access to real representation, because those poor people have a single representation which is an illusion of the shadow. The reflection is the rich people. Plato believed that the access to knowledge made you enlighten to the true representation of things. And that is just then that you could get out of the cave and see the real truth.
You have to be sensitive to your ignorance.

Truth out text

Compared to the other text, the knowledge is no longer limited and there’s more than one representation. Now that you have access to this information, you understand now that you cannot get access to an ultimate and global truth. You can be anything. And it is like the representation of the cavern, where finally with the new media, we are able to get out of this darkness.
Just as the photography published about soldiers in Iraq, finally put a light on what was really going on in that country, which was opposite to what the Bush administration had been trying to tell.
