Decent Essays
If you are stuck in a utopian society with a world that you don’t know about wouldn’t you want to leave and go see whats out there but you can’t because you are locked/trapped in there, if you try to escape and you get caught you will get in trouble possibly killed. A democratic society lets you roam around and do whatever you want you don’t have a curfew here and you could as many kids as you wanted as long as you took care of them. You child will not get killed if it doesn’t weigh enough if will live and you would never have to say goodbye to them if they are twins, you wouldn’t have to be a birth mother and give your kid up that you have been carrying for nine months. You could live here without people telling you what to do, what to say,

    The human being has always been fascinated with what exists in the future for us; where we go after we die, how the world might end and what our role is in the grander scheme of things. These are some of the existential questions we ask ourselves. Geoff Ryman creates a utopic future for us to see how some answers to these questions could play out. In Ryman’s story Everywhere, Ryman shows that to achieve a utopic society one of the essential components is an advancement in communication; he shows this through examples such as the ability to communicate with animals, the advancements of communication with technology and the ability to speak with the deceased. These advancements bring life to an idea of technology bringing us into union with the…

    Utopian societies are far from achievable and always will be, but did America attempt to get close? From 1825 - 1850 America went through innumerable changes in crime prevention, religion, slavery, schooling, temperance and women's rights, frequently in support of democratic Ideals. America had implemented jarring punishments punishments for criminals. Punishments usually unsuited for the person or crime. The penitentiary system as mentioned in Doc A reduced punishment and gave instruction back to a normal life.…

Also in the story Harrison Bergeron, the government men know as “H-G men” required Harrison to wear handicap, such as, “...a red…

    In many dystopian societies, such as the society in Ayn Rand's Anthem, children are taken from their parents at an early age. This usually is because in dystopian and totalitarian governments, the leaders want all control. To understand this you have to take a deeper meaning on the word totalitarian and what kind of government it is. Totalitarian itself means “exercising complete control over all aspects of life including freedom, will, and thoughts”, so therefore a totalitarian government is one where the government takes all control over the aspects of its people's everyday life, quickly smothering any and all opposition. So if the government takes the children from them right out of the womb, the government has full control over what the child learns and how the child grows to behave.…

    When free will is sacrificed in order to create a perfect society, it changes the original ideal of utopia. When people are not allowed to make their own choices or change their lives in the way they wish to, it leads to living a bland, robotic life with no emotions. “…If he had stayed, he would have starved in other ways. He would have lived a life hungry for feelings, for colour, for love. And Gabriel?…

    Individuality is the greatest threat to a utopian society, if one person doesn’t like the way the leader is running the show, then why should you continue to follow their lead? This is the problem I tackled in my final project, as I produced a seminar that was telling students from a fictional institution how to run their utopian societies in a way where they could eliminate or control individuality. Of course their are many different ways to see a utopian society, sometimes it is optimistic, Where To Invade Next (2015) while others are much darker, 1984 (1984). I quickly decided to ignore the optimistic utopian societies, since many times the citizens are the rulers. Instead I focused on the utopian societies that were completely controlling…

    Utopian Society Analysis

    According to Webster Dictionary a Utopian Society, means an impossibly ideal society or way of life. To achieve this society people have to be happy no matter what happens, but they cannot be happy if they fear the alternative to their society. In Fahrenheit 451 by: Ray Bradbury, Harrison Bergeron by: Kurt Vonnegut and The Lottery by: Shirley Jackson, the society worked so hard to eliminate fear, Instead of achieving this they created a society where people were silenced, controlled, lost their individuality and had no opinions or thoughts of their own. People lost a sense of worth; making them cower into themselves and miss something, they could never quite place. The more they tried to create an ideal society the more they created a fearful…

    The ideal world one imagines is almost never the present world. Humans are instead visioning the future and what it holds. In a utopian world, every single person in the world is happy, content in what and who they are; the world is in a constant state of harmony, there are no wars and there is no disruption to daily life, and there is no struggle to live. The dystopian world in Brave New World written by Aldous Huxley warns against the possibilities that the future may comprise in an evolving human race, which is not far from reality, while humans reach for the utopian world. Brave New World’s dystopia, although unlike in its new world morals and values to the present, consists of coincidental technological advancements to the present world.…

    “You only have power over people so long as you don't take everything away from them but when you’ve robbed a man of everything he is no longer in your power-he is free” (Solzhenitsyn). Surprise surprise!This essay is going to be very hard for me. I just surprisingly don't agree with it whatsoever. I mean if you don't take something from a man then they will call you weak they will have something to fight against you with they will have some power over you they will try and be more free and before you know it they will have more power than you do.…

    Hi Jenna, I have to say I agree with your post mostly about the Utopian society vs. a dystopian society. I think that a dystopian society may also take social norms to far through. “The Giver,” a book that showed a society that had such a regard for human rights, economics, natural disasters, and social norms, it became a dystopian society because it was far too perfect. So the opposite can be true too. We should not fall to far down that rabbit hole that we forget how to question people or actions.…

    Equality for everyone, that sounds pretty good right? Theoretically I would agree, however once I considered the negative effects of this type of utopia my viewpoint shifted greatly. It is my opinion that a perfect utopia, a completely equal society is not attainable. The lack of accountability would cause major issues, both on an individual and large scale. First, because there is no accountability system there would be nothing to stop widespread chaos and frequent crimes.…
