Plato &. Freud

PLATO QUESTIONS: 1. Consider the issue of what it is we know when we rely on our senses. Is sensory knowledge as unreliable as Plato thinks it is? Personally, I believe that each individual's perception is based on a number of factors. Those factors become how we analyze the things we sense which in fact can be from a faulty point of view.  2. Are we materialistic when we praise sense perception? What are the alternatives to any such materialism arising from overvaluing (or solely valuing) sense experience? In opinion, I believe that our praise of sense perception would be more narcissistic than materialistic. I think it is the cause if lack of conscience knowledge. 3. If we could perceive the world beneath sense experience, what would it be like? I find it hard to answer this question as I can not predict a different reality. I would guess that our perception would rathe be based off of facts and conscience which I believe would create a more just world.

1. Define the phrase "pernicious effects" on the basis of what is stated in the essay. The effects caused by genderized roles in society. 2. Is it possible to compare women with property on the basis of this essay? 3. Clarify in what way the “unnatural distinctions” affecting women in society cause them to behave as Wollstonecraft says they do. Do you feel it is a genuine cause- and-effect relationship? Women in society are prevented from fullfilliing their moral duties. 4. Describe Diversity in Schools according to Kozol and what your definition would be. Including present day civil right issues in lessons, have a mix of ethnicities together. 5. What does Woodson mean by mis-education?  He is referring to the Africans and African American peopled are not preoperly educated due to the disadvantages that easily come with being a minority.
