Knowledge Is Power

The difference in power ranges from kings and presidents to the slaves in this world. The power and rank of people would be decided by strength, combat skills, and overall physicality in most places, but over the years this had slowly changed and has since became less about the physically strongest one in the group to the smartest or most tactical. Strength is still important in the world, but the roles that leaders focus more on being wise, smart, and tactical all while inspiring strength from others as well as demonstrate it themselves. These leaders control the people beneath them in rank because their intelligence or knowledge. Knowledge gives people, of any type, strength and power maybe not physical strength, but a mental strength over others. This knowledge gives people control over others with less knowledge.

People with more knowledge keep their lead in knowledge by filtering or taking knowledge from others. This tactic is done to keep those with power in power and force everyone else to do their commands or suppress personal growth mentally and/or socially. It is no secret that people have had slaves in most nations if not all, but slaves will be kept inferior mentally to suppress any uprising against those that keep them in bondage. In America black slaves were outlawed to read and wright so that they could not get smart enough to plan a rebellion or seek equality. This is because it is a lot easier to control someone that is mentally lacking in comparison. This tactic has been used in most slaves-allowed nation over the years and more often than not when the slaves or oppressed people gain the knowledge that they are begin denied those people rise up and take their freedom and equality.

In the movie the world that we see is not the one that we are truly in and the people have no idea of the truth of the world around them. The movie starts off with the decision between a red and blue pill. The blue pill takes neo played by Keanu Reeves back to his normal life were he remembers none of the events of the decision and the red pill will show him the truth of the world and the science fiction adventure begins. Knowledge true knowledge is very powerful and can give people back the control in the world. The only question that is posed is do the people want to stay unaware of the thing that the world around them or do they want to know the truth where the world is revealed for what it is
