become robots; only knowing what we need to and ignoring anything else that’s not absolutely necessary. This is what happened in the film The Matrix. To obtain the ideal, well rounded Utopian society we need to truly understand and learn more. It’s necessary to have more “thinkers” rather than “doers”, as many jobs and activities are in our current society. This leads to…

into tyranny. Utopia by St. Thomas More describes a fantastic Island where the principal law is to pursue the common good. Utopia is different from Plato’s Republic, in that Utopians are allowed to have family, they have a common property, and they can have the power over decisions their states take and they can make changes over their rules. Even though, Utopians are not free to pursue their interests and can only act and think for the common good of the island. More…

A perfect world doesn’t exist, but humans keep trying to create them, and humans keep striving for the perfection that they cannot reach. Although this sounds pointless, creating a utopia can help bring to light the many problems that we still need to solve in the world today. Creating a utopia can also help reveal new ideas to implant into society, like Democracy. We use many ideas from utopias to make our world a better place and make it slightly closer to a utopia than it was yesterday. The…

The Giver Since the beginning of time, humans have formed settlements in order to survive. Naturally the settlements have become more advanced and complex. Communities and settlements advanced as did society and the way people lived. The settlements became more organized with laws, forms of government have been created, and they even had leaders. As time passed, novels plotlines have advanced in this same way. An example would be Lois Lowry’s novel The Giver that takes place within a Utopia.…

longer than many of the other settlements, but ultimately failed. Pullman began demanding more and more rent to offset company losses,” as stated by “4 Utopian Communities That Didn’t Pan Out” The way this society was built just was not satisfactory, which can be said holds true for many other attempts at utopian society. The company eventually started losing income, which led to its founder demanding more rent, which in turn, help led to the community’s downfall. In summary, the perfect…

A perfect society: Long sought after, however, impossible to achieve. There have been many theories on a perfect society and how it will be a reality one day. This reality seems desirable but could never be accomplished without some people getting put down for this society to rise up. A utopia appears perfect but deep down has many fatal flaws that take away freedom and knowledge from the citizens. Our modern day society, even though far from perfect, gives us things a utopia can not. The…

needs. For this reason, society does not have to worry about the basic needs they would prioritize its energy to innovation and discovery. The geographic format of my utopian world does not matter because the technology and transportation would be much more advanced than today's technology. Moreover, laws would be created by a union that would be made up of one thousand logical and intelligent human beings. In contrast, criminals that break these laws would have to…

There is no such thing as a Utopian society. Every Utopian society turns into a Dystopia. Utopian societies make people their worst which makes it a Dystopia. If there were to be an Utopian society, it would not last for very long. There can never be a Utopian Society that lasts very long, it will always turn into a Dystopia. Every Utopian Society turns into a Dystopian society. One Utopian society that turned into a Dystopian society is the society of Fahrenheit 451. This society tried to…

What You Don’t See In a utopian society, citizens can think freely also citizens embrace the world. But most utopian worlds turn into a dystopian world because in most utopian worlds become too perfect and people become to greedy and don't want to be like everybody else. One key piece of a utopia is equality and in both Pedestrian Ray Bradbury and in Harrison Bergeron by Kurt Vonnegut Jr. equality has created a dystopian world. In the pedestrian they tried to make it a Utopian society by…

expansion of Europe during the time More was writing Utopia led him to create idealized version of the foreign lands he heard described due to his distaste in the current state of European government and society. By telling a story of a Utopian society, More was able to critique the state of affairs in Europe without explicitly stating his distaste. He uses the fictional Hythloday to first critique European governance and society and then to explain what More believes to be the perfect society.…
