Philosphy in the real world

Philosophy in the real world

Philosophy and philosophical questions can found all around the world, and is very popular to be found in entertainment. Whether it be books, movies or poems, philosophy often plays a big part in the story. A great example of this is in The Matrix. When Neo is brought into the real world, he begins to be tested and briefed in a separate computer world. Morpheus asks Neo, "What is real? Is something real if you can feel, touch, and smell it? How do you define real?" This puts Neo is a very difficult mental fight. Neo then uses this philosophy of what he considers real to break the barriers of "natural human limits". This is also one of the reasons why The Matrix is such a great film. The movie makes you question what the characters in the movie are doing, as well as how you live your own life. Another example of philosophy in the real world is making tough decisions. An example of this is studying for a test or playing video games. This brings up tons of questions that involve, how much you understand the subject, how much you have already prepared fro the test, why will playing video games be more beneficial than this, and even consequences that go with either actions. These questions seem simple, but at the core these questions impose tons of separate questions that dictate what we do in the end.
