The Pros And Cons Of Utopia

Decent Essays
Once upon a time in a land far away called Utopia, there was a God named Uton who governed the land, and his wife, goddess Uhdona. Utopia was destined to be a safe haven. Where gods, goddesses, and mortals were all meant to feel safe was in Utopia. It was stunning, with soaring and striking buildings, green grass, flowers flourishing everywhere, just like a fantasy. Uton and Uhdona ruled Utopia and made sure it was the ultimate place to live and was running efficiently at all times. Uton and Uhdona produced many gods in order for Utopia to be a prosperous world, including Teiton who was the god of thunder and lightning. Teiton began using his powers and making gods out of lightning. He would heave a bolt from the heavens down to Utopia, and …show more content…
She is a full mortal like his mother. Nevertheless, Etos being a half mortal and half god still causes abundant controversy in Utopia. Voluminous people are still enraged by it. Etos is the only one of his kind in Utopia, and people are endlessly trying to take him down. Since Teiton and Esla were not successful in eliminating Etos, they went to their brother Diros, god of the underworld, to request a favor. “Etos found his love, whom of course is a mortal. She is not strong and taking her away from Etos will crush him. Will you be willing to have your assistants capture Shushana and take her to the underworld?” Stated Teiton, his wife approving with all he said. Diros retorted, “Yes anything for you brother and sister, you both have been faithful to me and I will reimburse you with this service.” Later on, Diros talks to his wife and goddess of the underworld Aella about his strategy. Aella and Diros agree it is best for her to take Shushana. With her powers she finds Shushana, wraps her in numerous vines, and drags her deep into the underworld of Utopia. Etos, gets news of this and sets out on his journey to find Shushana. Aeyar discovers that Etos is going on the journey, and elects to go along as his aid in the event that things go dreadfully wrong. While their fathers are complete enemies due to them mating with the same woman, Aeyar turns into a helper to Etos and they shape an association even though their fathers may not favor it. To get to the underworld Etos has to surmount several beings and problematic trials in his way. Aeyar benefits him along the way in order to save his wife. There was only one pathway that Etos could trail in order to get to the underworld, and this path was not easy to overcome. The first hindrance being a great and extended rattle snake. Etos was flabbergasted once he observed how colossal it was, and quickly consulted Aeyar on what they should do, “Aeyar, what is the best way to

    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.

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.…

    Carr did not reject the idea of Utopianism instead he is accepting them and even suggesting it to be combined with his beliefs of Realism, where somehow it is actually a theory that is opposed to utopians as realist think realistically and they see things for what it is rather than what will be, and foreseeing the absolute successful outcome in the future; immature thought is basing upon purpose alone whilst utopian mature thought confidence on backing up their purpose with observation and analysis (Carr, 1939,…

    Erik Olin Wright’s, “Envisioning Real Utopias” was a lot more scholarly type of reading that I was not expecting considering this was a general education class. Although the reading and studying was more difficult than expected I found that this book was very useful in forcing myself to really study and buckle down with my study abilities. The reason for this is because I found this book too flow more like a scholarly journal rather than a regular book or textbook, the terms and definitions of words were difficult to find and had to sometimes be googled for a better understanding or definition. Understanding the background of Erik Olin Wright was beneficial when trying to understand the components of the book.…

    Whereas in “The Veldt”, the children Peter and Wendy had actually (although indirectly) killed their parents with the help of a futuristic technological invention - the “nursery.” The nursery was an “all dimensional superreactionary, super sensitive color film” room that had “mental tape film behind glass screens.” It was first introduced with it “imitating” an African veldt for the children’s parents George and Lydia. After witnessing the too realistic veldt, the parents had begun to consider locking the nursery up in fear. Contrarily enough, the children had not feared the nursery like their parents had; instead, they had viewed the nursery as their “second parents.”…

    Instant satisfaction and pleasure are two common ideas supporting the concept of a utopian society. However, an issue arises when the desire for gratification supersedes the need for human advancements, such as in the novel Brave New World. Taking place in the year of our Ford, 632 A.F., the seemingly utopian dystopia hauntingly mirrors some aspects of modern society as a…

    The critical question that draws me is " what was the promise of communism, was the 20th century genocide with communist dictators Inevitable,and can we fix this?". The thing that really draws me into this certain topic is history. I'm really like that ww2 - Cold War era. I think I can connect the MLK letter, because citizens that were under a communist dictatorship, felt oppressed by there leader, while MLK felt oppressed by racist people. Back then in the 60's white people were in control of minorities.…

    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 three words I picked are release, newchild, and stirrings. There are many other words that can be qualified to show the other meanings of this Utopian society. Release in the book means to be injected with poison fluid in the veins to kill you in seconds. People in the society would be sentenced to release if they did something out of the ordinary or breaking the rules. In our world, this means that we would be sentenced to death if you were a really bad person.…

    Ameri-topian Societies During the Age of Jackson a plethora of experimental societies cropping up throughout the united states. These “Utopian Societies”, as they were called, were usually small communities living under a certain set of unusual guidelines and procedures. One of the most famous of these societies were the the Transcendentalists who believed in finding God in nature, and that men were born inherently good and functioned best when independant. Although they were far from ordinary, they were not the most unusual group to emerge from this time period, for example: The Shakers were a group founded by “Mother Lee”.…

    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.…
