Thank you again, and all the best!

Compare and contrast Gandhi and Plato on the issue of appearance and reality.

[This seems to be the assignment description. You need to add the title]

Appearance and reality are scientific terms [Are you certain?] aiming to outline things that are genuinely real depending in [Incorrect preposition] their appearance. Human beings often are inclined [Syntax is the order in which words are used in a sentence. Changing the order of words can change the meaning.] to believe that specialist know [In the present tense, a singular verb HAS an "s" on the end. A plural subject does not. The puppy LOVES the girl. The puppies LOVE the girl.] actual component of an object which may be opposed to the elements of the surface. [What do you mean?] People differentiate between an object actual size and its size, as well as standard conditions and non-standard conditions. [What do you mean?] This paper compares and contrasts the argument of Plato and Gandhi on issues of reality and appearance. [The thesis statement of a paper controls the development of the entire paper. It explains what the paper is about and how it will be developed.]

Both Gandhi and Plato are considered to be highly learned super souls who possessed the ability to mobilize peoples [Did you mean to use plural here? This changes the meaning.] and things through their values and principles. Plato is known to be the first human beings [Incorrect.] to differentiate between reality and appearance through his observation of the world as a reflection that is pale and consist [In the present tense, a singular verb HAS an "s" on the end. A plural subject does not. The puppy LOVES the girl. The puppies LOVE the girl.] of different forms appearing in the eyes. Plato uses assumption that reality should be based on knowledge other than appearance and people should be reiterates [Incorrect verb form] on the aspect of reality based on general reasoning (Russell, 2003). [Follow the MLA citation rules] Gandhi was among the first Indian leaders who strive [When you describe a single action, do not move between times. It confuses the reader.] to end old traditions supporting discrimination policies depending on the cast of the untouchable. [You have not dedicated equal attention to Plato and Gandhi. One sentence on the latter is not enough]

Both Plato and Gandhi insisted that one cannot judge about their surrounding environment and its reality by looking at the appearance. [Each paragraph needs a topic sentence that directly relates to and carries forth the idea in the thesis statement.] Plato developed the philosophy based on the realistic principles and placed reasoning above senses. This idea was essential in determining his understanding of the concepts of reality and appearance. Plato stated that reality is a thing that cannot be perceives [Incorrect verb form.] fully through senses (Russell, 2003). Plato argued that if a person perceives reality through appearance, he/she would be leading to the wrong end because appearance will only enable a person to perceive only a part of reality while the whole reality is hidden from the appearance. Plato emphasized in the importance of applying logical reasoning as well as critical evaluation of appearance and reality to arrive at the true picture and understanding of reality of an object. [See the appropriate formatting guide to make sure that all required information is included in your in text and references citations. Failure to do so makes it plagiarism.] However, Plato’s argument was different from Gandhi because he believed that the understanding of reality is practically an unattainable human goal. [You need to discuss Gandhi as well. This paragraph focuses on Plato]

Plato argued that the globe is constantly changing and the impressions observed are mere forms. [Each paragraph needs a topic sentence that directly relates to and carries forth the idea in the thesis statement.] Plato also explains the ideology of world of forms and its reality through his parable of the prisoners in a cave (Russell, 2003). In the parable Plato argued that the reality of prisoners is the view that they are restricted to their own shadows seen on the cave walls, and they belief [Incorrect word form] that the visible shadows are the forms of the world. When the prisoner are [Subject-verb agreement error] exposed I [Why “I”?] outside environment which is referred to as the truth, they fail to accept it immediately as they face difficulty to understanding and adjust to the external environment and objects of the truth.

On the other hand, Gandhi maintained he idea [Either a typo or a word form error. Proofread your writing.] of the distinctions between reality and appearance. Gandhi philosopher [How do you mean?] was different from Plato because he instead on the importance of ignoring the appearance when striving to arrive at reality [Awkward diction often results from translating from one language to another or from conversational to formal diction.] (Stevenson, 2005). Gandhi argued that it is essential for a person to make judgment based on actual, real behavior and deeds of a person other than concentrating on the appearance.

In conclusion, Plato and Gandhi are philosopher [Agreement means that all parts of the sentence match in kind and number] who developed a common idea on the distinction between reality and appearance. However, the approach and ways they use to understanding [Incorrect verb form] and explain reality and appearance are different. Thus, Reality should not be based on the appearance rather than it should involve reasoning. [The main idea of your introduction and conclusion must match. If your intro says that you are in favor of something and the conclusion says that you are against it, the reader will be very confused.]
