In the movie the matrix Morpheus believes that Neo is the one but he has doubts and cypher doesn't believe Neo is the one. In the end of the movie Neo choose the be the one but he choose by fate but choose it himself because even though his fate is to be the one but Neo has the will to choose to follow his fate. I think we have the right to choose to between fate and free will because people have different fates in life and sometimes it may not be what we want so we have a choice to follow or not follow. In the matrix Neo fate was to become the one the savoir of the world at first he didn't believe it but then Neo decides to go and follow his fate. Neo didn't have to follow his fate that was just morpheus belief and the oracle said somebody is going to die and neo is the one he didn't want that but it was Neo made a choice to go with his fate then go with his belief. This tells that people fates can be dangerous and some people decide to go with their fate. Sometimes people's fate are good things but people may not want to do what that fate requires If my fate was to run the family business trucking company I may not want to be a truck driver I may want to be a doctor I choose my fate as a doctor. Humans have the choice to pick there own fate Neo choose his own fate just like he had the option to take the blue pill but he took the red pill his fate was by choosing the red pill was the wake up in the real world.
In the matrix Neo was given a choice to take the blue which means he would go back to his life or the red pill which means he would discover the truth and he choose the to discover the truth. If I had to choose I would say a little bit of both because both of these pills could have a bad affect and a good affect. The red pill means to discover the truth with Neo he choose this pill and ended up in a world he can't get out of. It's like if I'm choosing between the army contract that's 3 years and a marines that's 5 years and I choose the marines and I get there and see that being a marine is tough I might start to regret that decision but I can't leave because I'm under contract once under contract there's no getting out. The Blue pill means to stay the same but sometimes I want to know more then just keeping things the way it is. If I was a detective and I'm investigating a murder I want to know more about the murder so I can solve the case which where the I take the red pill to find out the truth. Both of these are just like choices in life but the red pill seems to be more of a risk and the bill pill I may like but then I might want to know more so I would take a little bit of both sometimes.

Reality television sends inappropriate messages to the young people who thinks being on reality T.V is more important. In the article" The dangers of Reality T.V by Timothy sexton the author argues that" There are many different reasons that reality television causes a negative impact on people. One of the reasons he states is that Reality television promotes the old belief that competition is the key to success in a capitalist economy. Although I agree that competition has a bad effect on people but however I think competition is an importance because when you want to succeed there's always will be competition
In order to get what you want you have to compete because another will want the same thing as you. If there is a role in a broad way show and you have to show the producer that this is the person that I need. Other people are going to want that same but the producer is only choosing one person for that role and he has to pick the right person. Also competition lies in job interviews you have to show that person who is interviewing you that you want the job their always going to be others who that spot
Competition builds character in you. If I wanted to go into the U.S Marines I would have to compete to be a marine. I as a recruit has to show my drill instructor that I am willing to compete to become the best of the best and if I was a drill instructor I would want the recruits that has what it takes.
In conclusion there are many reasons why reality T.V impacts young people in a bad way such as competition. I know that Competition can make people do certain things there not supposed to do but on the other hand I needed hire people for my business I need the best people who fit in my business.

Freedom is not something that most people are going to be inclined towards or be receptive to. I think most people do not desire freedom because it depends on what humans have experienced that may be freedom to them. In the allegory the cave there was people who were chained up in the cave since they were born and one of the prisoners got free and discovered what freedom really is and when he came back to the cave to tell them about what he discovered the other prisoners thought he was crazy. Those prisoners have been in that cave since their childhood they think the cave is freedom the cave is all they know about and the prisoner don't want to leave that freedom that they have. Freedom is based on what humans think is freedom if I lived in a farm all my life my freedom would be the farm I wouldn't know about the city because my freedom was the farm. There's even people who have been abducted since they were kids don't even know it they could have been locked in a room all their life not able to come outside so freedom to them would be the house.

People have had delusions and paranoia about believing that they are famous stars in the real world, this type of problem is based on the Truman show syndrome. But this syndrome has been taken to the level where people who have this problem think it's real. In the article Andrew Marantz states that "Shifts in technology have caused the content of delusions over the years, where in the nineteen forties japan controlled American minds with radio waves and in the nineteen seventys the C.I.A started to implant computer chips in brains. Andrew tells the story of Nick Lotz who was the star of a reality show who strung out on the finally and missed his chance to have the cameras turned off. Although Marantz makes a good point but I think there are good reasons why people think in a reality show because of the expansion in technology.
In the world people think their in a reality show simply because were being watched every time we walk the streets. There's cameras everywhere now a days it's on the street lights, it's in the buildings and even in automobiles. We have news reporters film people especially criminals on who walk out of courthouses or police precincts and the reporters try to interview them and they don't want to be filmed. Cameras aren't the only problem there are other things that make people have delusions about reality shows.
The author Andrew Marantz argues that back then human minds can be controlled by radio waves, satellites and computer chips. Unfortunately it still happens but these are more advanced. We have now tracking devices that can track anybody at anytime, such as ankle braces to track ex-cons on house arrest. Also there's wiretapping that is used to also track people but mainly to hear other peoples conversations
People think that there being watched which makes them think the world is a reality show. I now see the reasons why people think have that logic and truthfully there is no stopping it. But I think the government is watching us and were watching other people whether its by camera or television. I truly understand now the Truman syndrome.`

In the movie the Truman show Christof states that "He could leave ant any time if this were anything more than a vague ambition if he was absolutely determined to discover the truth there is no way we could prevent him. Truman does discover the true nature of his life even though Christof tried to do whatever it took to stop Truman from finding out the truth. Truman's triumph says a lot about free will in our lives because it shows that we as humans have the will to do whatever we please. In peoples lives today we have the right live our lives the way we want to there are always going to be people who try to prevent another person from doing something for example if a child wants to grow up to be a doctor but the parents want that child to work in the family business because they think its right for that kid but the parents realize that they cant hold back there kids dream of becoming a doctor because if that child is determined the parents can't stop him. Truman wanted to know the truth because he was determined to see what the real reality is. We have so much freedom in our lives that we don't have to listen to people that don't want us to do as we believe. Christof states in the movie that "I have given Truman a chance to lead a normal life. The world the place you live in is a sick place. Christof's statement is not correct because the real world has options there are places that are sick but there's other places that are not sick we have the option to go to better places and everything shouldn't be the same because there would be little known about the real world. The benefits of living in seahaven is everything would be the same ting each day. Seaheaven is just all good aspects but nobody knows the bad aspects and there's know vacations or no exploring differnet things if the world was like seahaven there would be no world.
