WHATEVER Essential Question: What does the matrix suggest to you about the ways in which individuals respond to the conflict between illusion and reality?
In our creative assignment, we made another allegory of the cave, in this, we had a small civilization living on an island, surrounded by an ocean thinking they were as free as can be. But in reality, just offshore there is a wall blocking their path to leave, a giant dome. This small civilization was completely oblivious to what was happening around them. In our allegory, we did this to make it similar to the matrix, in a way where they feel like they are as free as can be, but in reality, they are prisoners trapped in this fake reality subject to not having truth and knowledge of what life is actually like. They feel this way because they were born on the island and have lived their entire life where this prison is their home, and which is all they have known their whole life.Essential Question: What does the matrix suggest to you about the ways in which individuals respond to the conflict between illusion and reality?

They feel this way because they were born on the island and have lived their entire life where this prison is their home, and which is all they have known their whole life.
On top of that the world they are living in is nearly perfect, especially compared to the world out past the dome. They have no reason to leave this place even if they knew about the dome. We put these details in our allegory to setup a basic understanding between illusion and reality to the fact that we accept and believe the real world or the fake world we are given and meant to see, feel, hear. Now about halfway through our allegory, we have set it up that one individual would escape and be free from the dome. We picked a specific individual that had a feeling that something was wrong with his life, that something was missing from his life. That prisoner would escape from the dome and have an incredibly hard time in the real world in the allegory this is because the individual has never faced any trials in his life because he came from a perfect world. In this real world, there are deadly diseases, natural disasters, and wars, the clouds have turned black and have erupted with constant storms where the sun's light cannot shine through.
This was put together so that it symbolizes how hard it is to live an entire life in a fake world and just give it all up and learn everything he knew to be true was fake, this just shows that things don't seem as they are that In The Matrix a similar scenario could be when Morpheus offered Neo two pills a blue one and a red one one could show him the truth he had been searching for and the other could keep him inside The Matrix. The two pills represent a choice, a choice to leave fantasy land or stay, both of these choices had to be decided on by the...

Unbeknownst to me the lid on the coffee wasn't put on properly, hence the whole cup of coffee spilled inside my car, all over the front seat my purse, which I ended up having to throw out because I couldn't get the smell of coffee out of it, yes it went inside my purse, also the cup holders! I was very upset as the girl that passed the coffee through the window didn't even say sorry or offer to help! Yes I went inside to get another coffee, making sure the lid was securely on the cup After I spent about 20 minutes trying to clean up the mess in my car! I now have to shampoo the inside of my car, specifically the front passenger seat and cup holders! PLEASE train your staff to make sure lids are properly secured on the drinks before giving them to the customers!
When a customer asks for a crispy chicken burger, it doesn't mean grilled, it means crispy! Can't you people take orders properly? Geez!!!
Ordered a BLT meal today, when I got home I discovered there was no tomato on my burger! Hense it wasn't a BLT! This place can't seem to get the orders right even though they have what I ordered right in front of them! smh!
What McDonald's doesn't have poutine?? Absolutely ridiculous!!!
Ordered a crispy chicken wrap and when I got home it was a crispy chicken wrap with bacon! I didn't want bacon, but I guess they don't understand a simple order once again! đ When will the McDonald's in the Walmart stores start getting the breakfast burritos back and the bagels? Today I dined in but it won't let me keep my last time here. Horrendously filthy! Most of the tables were disgustingly filthy and it wasn't even busy for the amount of staff that were there! Tables weren't cleared off or wiped, and the floor looked like it hadn't been swept in spots or washed! Do better McDonald's!! Went here today and ordered a Ranch McCrispy meal only to get home and it was a BACON Ranch McCrispy meal! If I wanted bacon I would have ordered BACON, but I didn't. Not the first time my orders have been messed up!! Not impressed đ Store number 5962 needs to make sure they are completing their orders properly! I didn't get a straw for my drink and there no napkins! I told them I didn't want a bag but I got one anyway, this is the second time I got a bag after I told them I didn't want one! It's not like they were super busy, so I don't know why they get it right! I just came from McDonald's in Midnapore SE Calgary, I purchased a Quarter pound with cheese meal and 6 PIECES OF CHICKEN NUGGETS, I received 4 PIECES of chicken nuggets which I didn't notice until I got home!! I paid for 6!!! Can't you people count??? This is effing stupid!!! Last time I'm going to this location as they always seem to f++@$ things up!!! Bunch of...

Individual contributors, also called editors, are known as Wikipedians. Wikipedia is the largest and most-read reference work in history.3] It is consistently one of the 15 most popular websites ranked by Alexa; as of 2022, Wikipedia was ranked the 10th most popular site.[3 It is hosted by the Wikimedia Foundation, an American non-profit organization funded mainly through donations.5]
On January 15, 2001, Jimmy Wales[6] and Larry Sanger launched Wikipedia; Sanger coined its name as a portmanteau of "wiki" and "encyclopedia."[7 Wales was influenced by the "spontaneous order" ideas associated with Friedrich Hayek and the Austrian School of economics, after being exposed to these ideas by Austrian economist and Mises Institute Senior Fellow Mark Thornton.9] Initially available only in English, versions in other languages were quickly developed. Its combined editions comprise more than 58 million articles, attracting around 2 billion unique device visits per month and more than 17 million edits per month (1.9 edits per second) as of November 2020.[10 In 2006, Time magazine stated that the policy of allowing anyone to edit had made Wikipedia the "biggest (and perhaps best) encyclopedia in...
