Blog #7 - illusions of life.

          Our society throughout many centuries have lived a life through Illusions, or in other words where we, as in humans believe that we were never wrong and what society believes means society is always right. In the passage "The Allegory of the cave" have explained the concept of humans believing society is right and who ever thinks otherwise is complete out of their mind.  There are many examples in our past times that shows that we are wrong at times, such as the illusion that "men" are the superior of the earth.
         It happens to be that every sperm and or egg combo inside a women's uterus always starts off a female showed by studies. only when the embryo consists of enough testosterone does it mutate into a male. However our race believes that man should over power women in every way possible. Even though in the 21 century today women have rights to vote, can be CEO's of companies and also can run to be President. Our society still has that mind set that men are more powerful and designed to be leader.
         In today's world there are some states that still carry that belief of mistreating women. Some countries such as India for an example.India still from this day believe that man has full authority to control women by how they dress, act,say, and sometimes even do. Most of this comes from religion such as Hinduism, where Indians believe the women must be married to a man to have a good life, and consist of his doings as if she was his slave. In India women have restricted rights where they must be a house wife, while the man act as if they were a "king" and can have multiple partners and children from different women.
        Another Theory that Americans still mention is the popular "Men are better drivers than Women" . The fact that they're not as many women race car drivers as there are men shows the population that there is discrimination of woman race car drivers. Men believe that women are to emotional and fear happens to take over them while behind the wheel. To be an excellent driver you must not have one bone in your body that consists of fear. Women are capable to drive just as great as a man could drive a car, however our society still having the thought that men are superior has corrupted our minds humans don't try to find out why they just follow what the society tell them.
          When we consider that men are women are completely different, there isn't really a fundamental difference between a male and a female. Yes in bodies we are different, however in concept of our minds operating these bodies and exactly the same.
