... 2 Question One Compare and contrast The Matrix with the readings from Plato and Descartes. What are some similarities and differences? The Matrix describes a fictitious possibility of a virtual existence of the world and especially the world’s human population, unbeknownst by the majority of people involved in the virtual reality known as the Matrix. Certain players in the Matrix scenario are awakened to the proposition that perhaps their life experience is an orchestrated delusion, set into motion by certain governing powers, in an attempt to obtain and maintain absolute control upon the masses. An important character in the Matrix named, Morpheus, brings the deceptive virtual reality to the attention of other participants in the Matrix, in an effort to help awaken them to the real truth of their existence. It is discovered that rather than the daily life experience and existence of the population of the world, the people are actually unconscious of the absolute reality that they are all in a clinical state of suspended animation. This virtual reality of the Matrix overrides their normal flesh and blood existence by way of computer programming. The discovery of the Matrix false reality is so overwhelming that some individuals participate in rebellion against the Matrix, and others are disturbed by the discovery to such a degree that they choose to be assimilated in the Matrix....

...As Patricia Pisters (2003) asserts in her study of Deleuze and film theory The Matrix of Visual Culture, the Wachowski brothers’ film can be read from number of different theoretical perspectives. It invites readings via Lacanian psychoanalysis, Platonic notions of the cave and the disparity between the two strata of perception and also as a “New Age” (Pisters, 2003: 11) quasi-religious evocation of the second coming. However, here I would like to place the film’s visual sense and diegesis into a context of postmodern philosophy; drawing inferences and theoretical connections between the film and the work of Jean Baudrillard, Walter Benjamin and the neo-Marxists of the Frankfurt School, most notably Adorno and Horkheimer in Dialectic of Enlightenment (1979). The importance of postmodern philosophy and cyber culture to the visual sense of The Matrix is declared from its very opening titles. Random strings of green neon data are scrolled against a black background imbuing the viewer with a sense of the virtual and the cybernetic and this is concretised and given definite focus later on as Neo (Keanu Reeves) hides the two thousand dollars given to him by Anthony in a copy of Simulacra and Simulation by Baudrillard. This reference however is more than a mere visual joke it is a signifier for a number of the film’s sub-textual tropes and motifs. For Baudrillard, the notion of the simulacra was central to an understanding of the modern capitalist society. In his essay “The Precession...

...Week 5 Essay After reading the three readings, I can see some similarity and differences between the readings from the philosophers. Comparing the Matrix and Plato’s, the similarity is they both agree that the life we are experiencing is not as real as what it appears to be. It is simply an illusion and a life that we can question and doubt about. From Matrix’s story this happens when Neo ‘the hacker’ had a dream that made him think about the reality and the thought that there is something more to life. When Morpheus came and told him “that the world is an illusion, an elaborate system of deception perpetrated to keep people contentedly under control” (Wachowski & Wachowski, 1999). Neo then choose to eat the pill and see the truth that the human race is only relying on a machine to keep their bodies alive. Human beings are actually unconscious, therefore they are controlled by the machine. Because of this, what we see or do today happens because we are programmed into a computer simulation called Matrix. From Plato’s allegory, we see it when Socrates described men’s nature being as prisoners since childhood; being chained inside a cavern not being able to move their heads, but only looking. When one of the prisoners was released and was given the opportunity to see the light; and guided with what was going on. The human being that has seen the light will think what “he had seen before was all a cheat and an illusion. He will then want to turn toward real things”...

...structure is the divisional approach. As opposed to the functional way, there are several teams across the same level that works on their own single product or service. Each of these teams has their own leader or manager. Pros of the divisional approach allow teams to be more focused on their own product or service. This allows them to be flexible and more reactive to changes (Daft, 2013. P. 320). Cons of this structure include higher overhead since it takes more employees to make up the teams and there may be a rivalry between teams due to competition. 3. The matrix is a combination of both functional and divisional (Daft, 2013 p. 321). There may be multiple higher leaders that manage different teams. These leaders report to higher supervisors. The matrix can be very effective since it can be flexible in a rapidly changing world. Teams work better together and have broader responsibilities. The downside to a matrix approach is that it may be more difficult to manage. This approach is very much decentralized, not hierarchical like the others. 4. Recent...

...Control of the Masses According to Webster's dictionary a dystopia is “an imaginary place where people lead dehumanized and often fearful lives”. Brave New World and The Matrix both take place in scientifically advanced, futuristic, and horribly imperfect worlds that strip people of human individuality. In Brave New World, the World State controls every aspect of human life, all psychological, economic, and social factors. The world that Huxley has created is a place where free thinking has never been a thought, and the freedom to choose can never be chosen. In the Matrix, a technological evolution creates artificial intelligence, that views humanity as a virus that needs to be eliminated. In the movies, people are “programed” before they are born so they can be controlled. The worlds of The Matrix and Brave New World both revolve around societies that are scientifically advanced and controlling of all aspects of human life. The World State system in Brave New World is centered around consumerism. In the novel, society modifies human behaviors so that people will want to consume goods and spend as much money as possible. They are brainwashed to think that they live in the perfect system because they don’t feel pain, discomfort, or recognize injustice but their incomprehensible truth is they don’t live real life. (Read this next sentence dramatically) They're all living a lie because they don’t got no freedom! The person who controls this society is called “The Director”...

...Taylor Young Phil 201 September 28, 2015 The Matrix, The Cave, and The Meditation The topic of what is real and what is false can seem to be very definite to many people. Typically, it is easy for one to think that if something is tangible it must be real. If asked what is real, one might say, “ The things that I can see, touch, smell, hear, and feel are what is real.” However, there are some people who are not satisfied with this simple answer and would challenge this view. The hit movie The Matrix, Plato’s famous cave allegory, and Rene Descartes’ meditation piece are three works of art that dare to question reality and make one think about the authenticity of the world in which we live. These three works share many similarities in intent and content. All of them intend to prove something about reality, whether it be that it is true or false, trustworthy or unreliable. In the case of The Matrix and Plato’s allegory, the audience is led to believe that the human experience is a fabrication controlled by a larger outside force. The Matrix shows this through Neo’s realization that his whole world has been under the control of a super computer made for the purpose orchestrating every single detail of the lives of the human race. In the Allegory of the Cave, we can similarly see that the prisoners have been bound in place and shown images that they were forced to accept as the true world by a master puppeteer their whole lives. Some of the content similarities...

...International, and Sam’s Club. These main divisions are the core of its’ organizational structure. From these divisions leadership and management is then regionally developed and divided into regions of each division all the way down to store managers. The headquarters of this nearly billion dollar corporation still lies in the state of Arkansas where it was began, which would make Walmart United States the top division of the three. This organizational structure is for a global, publically shared company that is seemingly only profiting more with time. A smaller company such as a hometown car dealership would operate under a much different organizational structure. Most of them in my area are family owned and operated, which would reflect on the matrix structure more than anything. One head CEO of the small company in my hometown is in charge of the whole thing....

...For example, information telling the brain, “You are running in Italy, and you smell pizza.” The brain perceives this information as reality. The movie The Matrix is based on the Brain in the Vat. The Matrix, Rene Descartes, Meditation I Of The Things Of Which We May Doubt and Plato’s, “The Allegory of the Cave,” all hold similarities to the Brain in the Vat; therefore they hold similarities to each other. Although they hold similarities to each other there are also some differences between these three reasons. The similarities between the movie The Matrix, Plato’s cave analogy and Descartes’ Meditation I are that they questioned what they knew to be their world—whether it was reality or a dream; they each wanted to leave what they knew to be their world or reality to discover what they individually sensed to be a true reality. They are equivalent in that their perception of the real world started during each ones childhood. In The Matrix, Neo is controlled by a simulated computer system. In Plato’s cave the prisoners are controlled by mankind. Descartes is controlled by his false perceptions of evil demons. In The Matrix, the movie ends with Neo declaring his determination to share with the people the truth about The Matrix and them living in a true world on their own apart from control. Plato deliberates on the effect the cave leaves on one of the prisoner’s after he escapes the chains...

...Stacy Mottola PHIL 201-D05 25NOV2013 Essay 1 Many question whether or not what we are seeing and are experiencing is real or just part of our imagination. This question is one that has been proposed for hundreds of years by philosophers like Descartes and Plato. How is it possible that a Greek philosopher, a philosopher from the seventeenth century and the movie The Matrix can be so similar? It is the intent of this paper to compare and contrast these questions in relation to the movie The Matrix. The main thing that stands out for each one of these is the question of the reality of the world in which we live. Our sense of being is called into question in each of these examples. Are our senses correct or are we simply living in a dream world that is made up? The Matrix is a computer system that has taken control of peoples everyday lives. Each individual is hooked up to this computer that generates a dream world where everyone believes that they are actually living a realistic life. In the Matrix Morpheus a leader of a group of people who have rebelled against this system come to the knowledge that they are not living real lives. In his recruitment Morpheus meets with Neo and attempts to show him the truth. Learning this Neo sees that what you can see, touch and feel are not exactly real, their senses have betrayed them. In the excerpt from Descartes he makes several statements which also question the reality in which our perceptions believe we are actually...

...Applications Paper 08/09/2013 The film “The Matrix” is based on futuristic science fiction where everyone is alive inside of a computer system and don’t know it. There are humans that are alive outside of this system and they are fighting to free human kind from the grasp of the AI that invented this virtual world. The AI of the virtual world have programs that are in essence guardians or firewalls to stop the humans from leaving the virtual world. If a human dies inside the virtual world then they die in the real world as well, do to the neural stimuli that are connected to their brains shutting down their entire system. There are those that are saved from the virtual world and are able to as they call it “jack-in” to the virtual world. To those that are aware and can jack-in it is like a deadly game of cat and mouse as they try to save the other humans from the AI that is keeping them unknowingly hostage. For if they die in the virtual world even knowing about it they will still die in the real world. While they are jack-in they are able to do things that the ordinary person in the virtual world can’t do like jump from one building to another without thinking about it or in the case of the main character “Neo” in the end he is able to manipulate the computer system to do his will and becomes like a virtual version of Superman able to fly and rewrite parts of the programming of the virtual world. A. Counter culture. A counter culture is a subgroup that...

...immediately in front of me disappear from my perception altogether. This, however, does not mean that the object ceases to exist just because I can no longer see it. We learn this concept of object permanency at a young age. Similarly, if we take Morpheus’ claims to be true, and the world outside of the Matrix as reality, the entirety of Neo’s life experiences up to the point when he’s freed from the vat of liquid have been false. For years, the visual stimuli perceived by his mind seem to have fooled him, and this serves as a testament to our inability to objectively discern truth from falsehood, “the real world” from the fiction. All we have to rely on are our senses, but the existence of Matrix, or even more mundane illusions have proven that they can’t always be trusted. They are susceptible to manipulation. However, I posit that the ability to discern whether his perceptions were now real in that situation would not make any practical difference to him, because for all intents and purposes, that is the reality that he presently found himself in. He needed to make decisions according to that set of perceptions, because if it was in fact real, he would remain in control and if it wasn’t, the consequences of his actions wouldn’t matter...
