Does Dystopia Do Not Exist?

People have wondered what a perfect world would be like? Well many people have, for example, Sir Isaac Moore was the first person to write about this joyful, and excited place. Since he was the first person to write about it, he got to name it and he chose utopia. The thing is that a utopia is not possible, and that has been proven many times before.

A dystopian society is an illusion of a perfect society. Think of a world where having fun isn’t allowed. Nothing that has been created is fun no sports, no computer games, no music and everything in life has a purpose. You are forced to work for the rest of your life a job that the government chose. The government chooses who you are going to marry, where you are going to live and how much you are going to make. However, one person is assigned a job that he enjoyed and is fun. It is so fun that he become the best in the field. He then goes on to become the boss of everybody in that field and starts to boss around the people at the firm. If somebody says something that he does not agree with they get fired. The keys aspect of a dystopian society can either be a control of information, a singularity in power or ruling in fear and the purpose of these stories to the reader is what would happen if we let it run its course?

Countless writers have crafted utopian worlds for the reader to consider and explore and many of those novelists don't deem the modern-day world as the "good place"(Hermon, Holman) but rather one of the indescribable atrocities of war, disease, hunger etc… A utopian world is a difficult, if not impossible, one to

The lack of emotion in society has had several effects on not only relationships between the individuals, but also effects the way individuals see their life. The dystopian world includes an increase in violence, a lack of empathy, and a disregard to nature. Mainly because the characters are unable to recognize their own feelings let alone recognize other peoples. We see that the society as a whole has lost their sense of humanity when Montag describes a scene in which he is being chased by a robotic hound and people are watching the TV waiting for his death. Montag describes the inner reflection as the chase is underway, “Then if he wished, Montag might rise, walk to the window, keep one eye on the TV screen, open the window, lean out, look back, and see himself dramatized” (128). He describes the chase as an action show where the stakes are raised to almost keep the interest of the people watching. Montag also imagines “how many parlor- sitters who had been wakened from sleep a few minutes ago by the frantic sirening of their living room walls to come watch the big game, the hunt, the one man carnival” (128). To Montag he can see the ways in which his death is about to be shown as something for entertainment and to excite. What makes his thoughts true is when to get a happy ending to the story a random individual is killed in Montag’s place. “On the screen, a man turned a corner. A voice cried, ‘There is Montag! The search is done!” (142). Although it is obvious to the

We can learn alot from a government in a dystopian novel. By using the philosophies of John Locke and Thomas Hobbes, we can see that a weak connection from government to people can be a leading factor in the choices of individuals in a society.

The Utopians live in a society that is free from the grips of money and hoarding, one that is as close to perfect as one can feasibly imagine. It is a world where people get along together in harmony, with “nothing private anywhere” (More 231). The only have gardening competitions, and even their gardens are not permanent, dying with each passing year. They “change houses by lot” every ten years to keep people from hoarding earthly goods, and by doing this create a society where not only does everyone contribute, and everyone also communicates and relates to those around them (More 231). This happens in large part, according to More, because of “communal living and their moneyless economy” (More 269). Through this revolutionary and ideal living, they create a place where there is no bribery because there is no money, with

Imagine not being able to control a single aspect of life. Every single decision regarding life is made by the government to ensure society stays controllable. Living in a society where one has no control over anything in their personal life would not be a pleasant place to live. The World State controls its citizens by conditioning them, drugging them, and not allowing them to think freely. If the World State gave liberties like finding happiness, free thinking, and love to its citizens, then it could possibly be a utopian state. Since the World State controls all of those aspects of personal life, it is very clearly a dystopian society. In Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, the society that is seen is a dystopia because it lacks individuality,

The pursuit of technology will inevitably lead to the establishment of a dystopian society. Through an ominous forewarning, Huxley’s Brave New World provides a disturbing depiction of the hazards of future research in science and technology, revealing a hidden parallel to Monsanto and the biotechnology corporation’s significant alterations to biology and physiology. The term utopia refers to an ideal or perfect society better than the one that currently exists and is free from social inequality and conflict. A utopia is the embodiment of a heavenly state but is never to be found on earth (“Utopia”). A dystopia, on the contrary, is a society that attempts to establish social stability through an oppressive authoritarian figure

Throughout the course of history, humanity has searched for the perfect society. To many, this type of society is called a utopia. The word utopia is derived from a greek word that means “good place.” Despite all of humanity’s attempts to find this perfect society, they have still never found one, and probably never will. On the other hand, a dystopia is the complete opposite of a utopia.

Some may argue that a utopian society is entirely possible. Utopia is defined as any visionary system of political or social perfection. Realistically, however, such a concept is humanely impossible and thus imaginary. The unique religious exception is considered heaven. Many pieces of modern literature continue to capture the utopian-dystopian belief, in which the author demonstrates that an artificial utopia will undoubtedly lead to a dystopian future.

World and Matched: the More Preferable Dystopia Introduction A dystopia is a seemingly pleasant world often characterized by totalitarian governments and unjust conditions where citizens are mislead. Two novels, Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World (1932) and Ally Condie’s Matched (2010), both explore these phenomena. In a postmodern society, Huxley characterizes the dystopian evolution of technology as cold and unfeeling. His world revolves around the ideas of efficiency and immaculacy, created by extreme consumerism.

Most of the utopias in history became corrupt and inevitably became a dystopia. Utopias are idyllic and a beautiful dream, but unfortunately an unattainable one. A utopian society will never exist because humans are too flawed. Dystopias are inevitable because of the imperfections of human beings. People need to get a grip on reality and accept the truth that a utopia will never exist.

According to the Webster Dictionary the definition of utopia is "...a place of ideal perfection especially in laws, government, and social conditions..." (Merriam-Webster) . If utopia is really perfection what happens when there is trouble in a utopia? Does that utopia suddenly become a dystopia because it is not as perfect as it may seem? Thomas More's Utopia included these characteristics, it also contained some unfavorable characteristics as well. A few of these dystopian characteristics include slavery, land conquering, and social isolation when sick (More). Although there are many characteristics of dystopia are intertwined with the utopian characteristics they are of not what makes a utopia a utopia.There are many characteristics of the ideal utopia spread over societies and times. Many characteristics include a peaceful government, access to healthcare as well as

Well the message meant that they can do whatever they want because they can’t do anything about it and can’t remember if that is their child . He uses irony by explaining how they are controlled by government and they can’t even think of what to do because they are being controlled . The dystopian message being sent is that they are living in a world where they are being watched and you don’t have freedom.

The world in any society has two sides, Utopia which is defined as the perfect world and the peaceful life that is free from disasters. This word " Utopia " is derived from Greek roots by Sir Thomas More which means "a good place" (More 37). Merriam Webster defined Utopia as "an imaginary place, all life aspects are perfect, as the world suffers from nothing" (Webster 19). while Dystopia is defined as an imagined universe in which the unequal society controls the fancy of an ideal society which are maintained through technological, moral, corporate or totalitarian control " Beauty of dystopia is that it lets us vicariously experience future worlds but we still have the power to change our own" (Condie 75). in which the genre challenges utopia’s
