    “If we are thinking about effect of education – or the lack of it – on our nature, there is another comparison we can make”(The Allegory of the Cave by Plato 1). Plato was a philosopher in Classical Greece; he was fighting for freedom and education. Malcolm X was an African-American Muslim who was fighting for human rights. They both had a vision of freedom and education. We have two stories; one is “The Allegory of the Cave” and “Learning to Read”. Education is a very useful thing that can open our eyes to many things, and we should know how we need to develop properly. Why do we have to compare these two stories?

The expansion of education is an historical self-consciousness that persons and communities would autonomously affirm.
