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.”…

    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…

    More’s utopia is definitely a huge supporter of equality and it can be concluded that this utopia would not be a successful one without the major feature of universal equality amongst all members of its society. The controversial issue of religion has found it's way on the utopia and it is completely free to practice. The only thing that is unacceptable in the utopia is the atheist belief. Everyone in the utopia respects each other's practice and most importantly, they believe in an afterlife. I think of this topic of the afterlife and realize that in today's society, it is more acceptable than it was in the past.…
