The Allegory of the Cave

.Select a world leader who has been dead or out of office for at least 20 years and analyze the role which ideas or ideology played in his/her performance. Comment on Plato’s take on this matter.

. Was this leader flexible when it came to applying ideas to real life situations and making decisions?

.Is flexible the right word?

If this individual strayed from professed ideas or beliefs in the name of pragmatism, could this divergence be considered a bretrayal of his/her principles?
