1. What are the main characteristics of the utopia and dystopia ? Utopia was an island that consist of fifty cities and each city consist of no more than 6,000 households. If the city became overpopulates they would move people to another city. The people live in large groups called "Families" which consist of 40 men and females workers, 2 slaves and a leader which they called a syphogrants.. Utopians did not execute people they simply made them a slaves and for those criminals who were sentenced to death they sent to an asylum.

Food is distributed fairly and meals are shared. The people worked on farms and learned a useful trade such as weaving or carpentry. They work days were 6 hours and they shared the work load equally.

2.What are the primary ideals that the utopia or dystopia is designed to achieve ? One of the primary ideas was to strived to get rid of difference and materialism through strict uniform and inhuman authorianism.

I loved that people could distinguish between true pleasure, which arises from care of the mind and body and false pleasure in status and appearance. The people had no interest in material status but rather the interest in their inner joy and commitment to their families and role in utopia. I appreciated that education was valued and everyone shared knowledge. I thought it was appealing that the wise elders taught the children. I believe this is something that we need because parents are having children at much younger ages and children lack appropriate role models and like they say wise comes with age and experience and this is why I believe that the elders have a significant role in the youth. I do not like that punishment had to exist for utopia communal society to succeed. I do not believe that it 's ideal because its people are perfect because its law compels citizen to behave a certain way despite their inherent human feelings. Utopia was the ideal of perfect but the utopians people were not perfect
