Utopian

Before I started engaging in Hawthorne’s novel, The Blithedale Romance I had no concept of what utopian communities were. What is the purpose of utopian communities? What are they exactly? What would my utopian community look like? Utopian communities intend to be an idealistic society. The central objective of utopian communities tends to be contrasting, depending on the members of the community and what they want to accomplish. Roughly around the 1840’s the working class struggled because of urbanization and industrialization. These individuals wanted to create the perfect world which conflicted to the real world. There were multiple communities being established. Brook Farm happened to be the most important one. If I had the potential to create my ideal utopian community I would attempt to make it acceptable for everyone. To start off, my main priority would be equality. I truly believe everyone is equal to one another and should have the same exact rights. Are we really equal in our society today? Yes, we have acts and laws for equality, but that doesn’t mean they are being obeyed to their full potential. We should be treated as human beings and our skill level, not based on our gender, religion, or race. My community would have no division of hate or discrimination. Someone being from a different culture, or…

Is a Utopian Society Possible? I am inclined to believe that a Utopian society could only thrive in one’s imagination, and would be destined to fall if it were ever attempted in the real world. Utopia is defined as, literally, no place. The longevity of a world or community with no faults is unachievable, especially with the complications of equality and Sameness. As seen in the Utopian works of fiction, The Giver and “Harrison Bergeron”, it is very easy to cross the thin line between…

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…

Have you ever heard of a Utopian society? Believe in it? Dont? Don't know what it is? well a Utopian society is a “perfect” place or world, where everything is ideally perfect. One perspective on it is that, people aren't perfect so how can a world filled with imperfect people be perfect? In the book Fahrenheit 451 the author Ray Bradbury made the world in the book a Utopian society. The “in charge” people in the book tried to get rid of all sad things so everyone would be “happy”.They also…

Is the idea of a utopian society merely an illusion? For eons, humans have dreamt of achieving a perfect world; a world free of conflict, hunger and despair. A utopian world. But is this ideology merely just an illusion? Is it an unattainable reverie that is far from the grasp of our hands? A tale to tell in many fantasy novels? Or can it be attained? With the advances in technology and such, perhaps it isn’t the most far-fetched idea. The idea first came in 1516 when Sir Thomas More wrote…

Body 2: Clearly state why Relay is formed around a utopian impulse and why someone might interpret it as a utopia. Anyone who attends Relay for Life or hears about Klatt’s mission, immediately become inspired to be apart of this remarkable organization. Dr. Gordy once said “Relayers make the money. The money funds the research. Research kills cancer. Therefore relayers kill cancer!” He also said and believed that “Relayers around the world will make a difference.” Relay for Life is the epitome…

Let us briefly summarize the terrain we have traveled. Whereas the Western notion of utopian striving provides a sense of hope and the will to act, the impossibility of actualizing the utopian ideal also invites fanatical devotion to delusional pursuit. We can see this pattern playing out vividly in our contemporary culture, where an unbridled commitment to consumerism promises a happiness that it cannot deliver, and in a cognitive neuroscience program that illogically assumes that continuing to…
