Personal Narrative: My Utopia

Improved Essays
It has been rumored not a single city exists that shows no smudges of war, crime, or hate. Though this may be true, I have imagined what a city may be like if it were true. My Utopia is not a perfect place, but it is a place where people are well off and happy. There are many challenges my Utopians avoid by the way the society is run. The people of the society each look to a higher power and have hope in something past this life, thus making their happiness and kindness immeasurable; the government has found the perfect balance of control, and the education is highly valued, encouraged, and free. Does living here sound like a dream come true, or is this dream too good to be true?

The people in the society share very similar values and beliefs. They vary in cultures, but all share the common belief that all men are created equally, and they are accepting of all. Life is centered on the family, and all believe in living a good life to fulfill their mortal purpose. Citizens work together to help provide the best for all in the community.

    It is UWC that witnesses my transition: not only have I come to appreciate the diverse world, but I have also honed a more sophisticated self-cognition. Numerous late night discussions such as China-Tibet conflict gradually equipped me with cosmopolitan lens and faded my national identity. Moreover, UWC shaped me into an idealist and pragmatist. The utopian mission ignites my aspiration to pursue a peaceful and sustainable future for human beings.…

    A utopia is a place where everything is perfect. In this unit, we read Anthem and 1984, that explained different governments that could happen today. They both dealt with aspects of utopia because they tried to make everyone equal. As we learned, there is no way to create an ideal society because it helps create more problems. U.S. citizens use equality but that doesn’t create an ideal society because it points out problems.…

    The short story,” The Ones Who Walked Away From Omelas”, by Ursula Le Guin unifies the central idea that there is no such thing as a perfect (Utopia) society; every society has their own dark secret. The central idea that there is no such thing as a perfect (Utopia) society, every society has their own dark secret is evident through Ursula Le Guin’s use of symbolism. On page 3, the author states,” In the basement under one of the beautiful public buildings of Omelas, or perhaps in the cellar of one of its spacious private homes, there is a room.” This illustrates how the city of Omelas seems to be perfect society.…

    I remember the day when I had the thought that would from that day on never fail to amaze me. I remember walking down Michigan Avenue in Chicago with the smell of Garrett Popcorn and sewage roaming the air. I remember seeing businessmen and business women making their way to work rolling their briefcases down the street. I remember the massive amount of tourists, including myself, stopping every five feet to take pictures of the beautiful sights of the city. I remember thinking to myself, “Why can’t these people learn how to walk in a polite and organized fashion?”…
