why might people resist new knowledge? what keeps humans int he cave?
(for context we read “allegory of the cave” by plato)
People resist new knowledge for fear of the changes it brings. In this sense, what keeps humans in the cave is the fear of changes and the stability that the cave proposes.
We can arrive at this answer because:
The allegory of the cave written by Plato shows how humans are likely to want to remain in the stability that appearances and lack of knowledge provide.In this case, humans avoid new knowledge, as it would completely transform and modify the life they are used to.In summary, people are afraid of everything new and for this reason, they often prefer to avoid what is new and can modify what they already know, for fear of the consequences.

You have just finished reading chapter 7 of Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe. Upon seeing Okonkwo return from killing Ikemefuna, Nwoye felt something “give way inside him.” Write a narrative story from Nwoye’s point of view emphasizing his feelings about Ikemefuna and Okonkwo at this moment. Your narrative should include imagined actions, thoughts, and dialogue, as long as they are consistent with and connected to the characters in the book
The question above wants to analyze your ability to read, interpret and write. For that reason, I can't write the text for you, but I'll show you how to write it.
First, you must know that a narrative text is a text that tells a story and for that reason, it has a narrator and characters.
The text you are going to write must have Nwoye as the narrator. He is also a character, which shows that this narration will have a first-person point of view, meaning Nwoye will tell the events he knows and present only his own thoughts and feelings.
Based on that, you should follow the following steps to write your text.
Read the entire text of "Things Fall Apart."Read articles and essays that analyze "Things Fall Apart," its events, and its characters.Understand the impact of the murder of Ikemefuna.Understand Okonkwo's involvement in this murder.Understand how Nwoye sees this event, its consequences, and the people involved in it.More information:
