Is a Utopia, a Perfect Society?

Starting it off, many people and sources show that a Utopia is not a perfect society. Utopias do seem like an amazing place but it seems to unrealistic for it to actually happen. People should know by now that a Utopia is an unrealistic goal by now and the near future. The government has shown demonstrations of failed Utopias that shows that they are not possible. People’s greed and natural causes show that a utopia is not perfect as no one can control those to factors. Those factors alone should eliminate any suspicion that a utopia can exist. But people still go on and try to make it a possibility. But it gets shot down quickly every time. The sad truth is that Utopias are simply nt possible due to natural causes and human nature.
First off, Utopias can succeed at first but many experiments show that the owners can not control natural disasters or sickness. An example would be the Utopia called “Brook Farm”. Brook Farm beginnings showed it to be an amazing Utopia, but that soon crumbled as the community was hit by a case of smallpox which caused people discomfort and drew people away. And just months after that a fire hit them like a wrecking ball which pushed them over the edge in 1847 for the collapse. According to

Inventions will come out the the people in the Utopia want. So they will complain and cause of the funds the utopia has they can not give everyone what they want. And usually they are in the middle of nowhere so the people can't just drive/walk towards a store. They have no money and no real way to leave. So they are stuck in the middle of nowhere knowing that there is better out there. Also it is a unrealistic that there would be more than 1 utopia out there as the best utopia would be the one with all the people. People would want the best Utopia if they would want to live in an Utopia. “For one thing, the bar is constantly being raised.”-Why Utopias

    A utopian society is one where the members believe their way of life is near perfect. Of course, this is a mere opinion that they share amongst each other. In the United States, a movement often referred to as the Second Great Awakening inspired several attempts at the perfect society, many of which ceased to exist shortly after being created. Near the Wabash river in the state of Indiana, Johann Georg Rapp, a German immigrant, established the town of Harmony, in 1814. A bit over 10 years later, a man with a plan sailed over from the old continent to establish a site where he could implement his vision of a “New Moral World.”…

    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?…

    The definition of a utopia is an idealistic or perfect view of society; so why shouldn't we reach for a flawless society and why is it unethical to attempt a “perfect” society? Despite the harmonization of society and the equality of all, individuality lacks within a utopian society. Additionally, basic human rights like freedom of speech are also limited within a utopia, leading to the dehumanization and desensitization of society. Utopias are outright impossible because all individuals have their own thoughts/desires, conflicting with the ideals that all people should harmonize in beliefs for their utopian society.…

    Utopian societies are very rare and hard to come across as you can tell. No society will ever be perfect because they may eventually have disagreements and arguments, they may also decrease in resources over the time, and they also may just be thinking about themselves and their self-interest. Overall, I think that utopian societies do not last very long due to things that happen in their society and the three examples we gave…
