"Allegory of the Cave" and "The Banking Concept of Education"

In "Allegory of the Cave", Plato mentions details of comparing two realities, one of being a prisoner in a dark cave and the other of being out in the light, seeing the outside surroundings. He mentions how in each setting there is a certain perspective. For example, since the prisoners are only allowed to face forward and were chained up, they did not get the chance to see the true object. They only saw the shadows of the object and therefore had to memorize the shadows of the object to recall it. Where as if one were exposed to the light and the outside surroundings would have a different perspective than that of a prisoner. Plato also mentions how one would think that their reality is more true than another reality. Because they do not expose themselves to other realities, they limit themselves from taking in new information. Therefore, by being more open minded to different perspectives lets us take in new information, expanding our knowledge.
In "The Banking Concept of Education", Freire goes into detail about two different concepts of learning between the teacher and student. The Banking Concept views the teacher as having all the knowledge and that the student knows nothing. The student's role is to listen, memorize, and repeat the information. The second concept that Freire goes into is the Problem-Posing Education Concept. This concept opposes the banking concept. It no longer poses the student as just a listener, but lets the student interact with the teacher. It lets the student ask questions to have a better understanding of the content. In addition, questioning the world around us makes us more in tune with ourself and our reality, therefore expanding our knowledge.
In both texts, both authors seem to be aiming towards the same idea, knowledge and experiences. The main emphasis is the perception of our reality to expand our knowlege. By memorizing information and being told what our reality is does not let us learn or experience things for ourselves. If we are more open minded to different perspectives and we question the world around us, we can become more educated and in tuned to our surroundings instead of just adapting to the world.
