Utopian

In a utopian society, all human beings have the right to liberty, equality and justice, whereas a democratic government secure those vital rights and serve as a social safety net to ensure that every citizen lives as a human being, and not only has the right to a life. The existence of an authority restricts extreme liberty of private property rights, avoids any enforced domination to ensure our personal liberty and democracy. For these reasons, an utopian society should have a government. One…

Some people think that utopian societies don't last, while others may think that they may last forever or a long period of time. Usually, utopian societies don't last very long. In the case, I don't think that Jonas’s utopian society will last utopian forever. Jonas’s society isolated itself from all of the other societies around his if there even was more societies.

Utopia is perfect but is it possible to achieve utopian society? Everyone has their different views of what a utopia can be but there are always to many challenges people will face trying to create a utopian society.
