Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and free from poverty, hunger, and homelessness. Utopia is a place where happiness flourishes through the eyes of Utopians citizens every single day. While Haiti, a country that went from slavery to independence to falling into debt from France. Utopians live a better life than Haitians because Utopia establish trust among their citizens while Haiti continues to have corrupt politicians in their government that is not enabling them to move forward.

Sir Thomas More describes Utopia as being a perfect community with a natural paradise, however, it is a fantasy. The perfect community described is shown through agriculture, identical architecture, and clothing, but distinguish by gender and marriage status (Norton, pp. 599). For instance, "...fifty-four cities on the island, all spacious and magnificent, identical in language, customs, institutions, and laws" (Norton, pp. 599). If one looks at today 's society, one will not find a country that contains all those descriptions described because that is human perfection which does not occur. Therefore, this leads into truth between imitation and true representation. Raphael Hythloday and Utopia is part of More 's imagination where he offers clues that Utopia itself is not real. The definition of Utopia in Greek means "Noplace" and "Happy or Fortunate Place," therefore, Utopia does not exist (Norton, pp. 572). Therefore, More discusses how society and class is established in …show more content…
Ralph Pezzullo the author of the book called Plunging into Haiti: Clinton, Aristide, and the Defeat of Diplomacy talk about how Clinton and Aristide impacted Haiti 's future. For example, only 90% of Haiti 's manufacturing sector has been destroyed leaving several Haitians without employment (Pezzullo, pp 244). This is very shocking to me because it shows that majority of the Haitians are living in poverty and attempting to find their way to make ends meet. Assembly plants is a company that gave out 50,000 jobs to Haitians, however, it is starting to decrease and eventually went down to 6,000 (Pezzullo, pp. 244 ). This was partly because of Jean-Bertrand Aristide who was the president of Haiti during 1991, 1994-1996, and 1996-2004 (Pezzullo, pp. 244). Jean-Bertrand Aristide decided to close down assembly plants for “...political leverage to use against the Clinton administration and the military regime” (Pezzullo, pp. 245). This caused HIV in Port-au-Prince to increase dramatically among poor Haitian women (Pezzullo, pp. 245). How can anyone live on $380 per year, get paid $3 dollars from assembly plant or be part of the 6.5 million living in "ecological desolation" (Pezzullo, pp. 244)? As you can see, former President Aristide was a corrupt and misleading president to the citizens of
