I think a Utopian society because there can be many things that could go wrong. When, you have a Utopian society you will most likely, always have a rebellion that consists of people who are angered and don’t like the system you have made. These people will bring the downfall of your society. For example, in The Giver Jonas doesn’t like the decisions the creators of their community have made. Jonas wants choice in life, but he is not given that because the elders don’t want people to make the wrong choices and regret it. When Jonas tries to leave because of the bad rules and ways of the community he releases the all the memories that he held. Which in turn will bring the downfall of the community because the people cannot handle all those depressing memories.The moral is that you should not even think of making a Utopian society because bad things will happen, and it is easier to avoid that if you don't make one at all.
People who think that a Utopian society is possible say that you can make it possible by using the rules the people contribute and make them happy with the implementation of these rules and ideas. They have the wrong idea because even if you do that some people will always not like these rules, and will eventually get their voice heard and many will agree.

If somehow everyone likes the tyrant, which will most likely not happen, things will still go wrong because they will eventually be deceased. Also, if you have different positions that show who is more honorable, people will not like that if they got a really bad position in their community. A utopia might fail if there aren't the necessary things that makes the people happy. That will result in all the people leaving the community, and you will be left alone by yourself . No one can be fully satisfied with life, so it is better not to have a
Is it OK to lie and manipulate children? What if these children were made to save the entire race of human beings as a whole? In Orson Scott Card’s futuristic science fiction novel, Ender’s Game, the main character, Ender, is selected to go to Battle School. In this futuristic world where overpopulation is problematic, people are only allowed two children, yet Ender is a third child which causes him to be ostracized by his peers and even his brother. This isolation is further exasperated in Battle School when Colonel Graff intentionally singles out Ender from the rest of the Launchies (the newest recruits).
After nearly 15 years of continuous military intervention and direct combat action, soldiers returning from overseas deployments have increasingly experienced blast related traumatic brain injuries (blast induced traumatic brain injury). The asymmetrical nature of modern warfare coupled with a large insurgency has led to a shift in the class of combat casualties which occur on the contemporary battlefield. The large number of improvised explosive devises encountered by American troops has produced a dramatic rise in the number of blast related blast induced traumatic brain injury victims returning from the battlefield. During the war in Iraq nearly half of the combat injuries experienced resulted from neurotrauma related to blast exposure (Dries, 2012). Blast induced traumatic brain injury can manifest symptoms through a myriad of physical, psychological, and cognitive deficiencies due to the pathoanotomical and
A utopian society is to be though of perfect or idealistic. The charcters in the book have no feelings, no choices, and no memories other thhan their own life. The Giver and Jonas are the only two with memories since their job is to be the holder of them and Jonas stops taking his medication to no longer interfearing with his body that gives him feelings. All others do not have any emotional attachments. The community decides all of your life’s plan. They choose your spose, your career, and you are not able to have your own children. If you want children you have to apply and a child will be given to you if you are accepted. The Giver and Jonas are the only ones with memories from the past that go back hundreds before the community was a utopian societ and other communities and how they live. The only memories the people in the community are allowed to have are their own lives but thneir lives are controlled by the committee of elders. This give the people of the community teh benefit of never feeling pain but they have no freedom which is almost as if they live in a comunity with a dictatorship.

According to California of Education (2011), 23.2 percent of total registration of students in California public schools are English language learners, and a 71 percent mainstream of these English learners are registered in the elementary grade levels with 29 percent being registered in the secondary grade levels and a less than 1 percent being put in an ungraded category, and according to LAUSD EL Data Dialog & Inquiry (2011), as of 2009 33 percent of the Los Angeles Unified School District (L.A.U.S.D.) students alone are English language learners, and of these 33 percent an approximated 94 percent are Spanish speakers and the other 6 percent is made of up many other languages fluctuating from Armenian to Russian.
A utopia is what everyone is aiming for, but is that really what they are getting? With the hopes of a perfect society, we the people are rushing for a drastic change in the way things work without giving too much care in which direction things are changing, and that can and will cause definite issues. In the hopes to rush into a perfect world, too many people are treating government like a roulette wheel and hoping for the best, even though all odds are against them. In doing so, they are setting themselves up for a more controlled tomorrow.
Would the community in The Giver be considered a utopia or dystopia? After reading the novel many people believe that it is a dystopia. A dystopia is a world where things may look right,but are far from perfect. The community in The Giver is a dystopia because of the constant surveillance,no choices,and Jonas character.
A perfect society cannot happen if there are still people who are greedy and selfish. To compare with The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas by Ursula K. Le Guin, I chose are The Giver by Lois Lowry and The Purge directed by James DeMonaco. Deciding on those two texts were due to how closely related they are to portray a utopian and dystopian society. Although, each story/film used different ways to appeal to certain audiences to express their message. A utopian society is pictured as a paradise, but to reach the paradise, people have to sacrifice their freedom to make a better place. Greed and selfishness are the main reasons to why a utopia cannot exist because, through the greed and selfishness, people learn from their mistakes.
‘One man’s utopia is another man’s dystopia.’ This is a famous quote we must often bear in mind when writing about such topics and it is often fairly accurate. A utopian society, in this essay, will be defined as a “non-existent society that is described in considerable detail…” (Fitting, 1993, 1) and an ideal and visionary society that enjoys perfection in various fields such as politics, law and more as seen in Thomas More’s famous novel, Utopia. A positive utopian society is often impossible due to a variety of reasons, primarily human nature and the inevitable inequality found in these idealized societies. A prime example of how a utopian society is often impossible can be found in Andrew Niccol’s film, Gattaca (1997). The film Gattaca explores a new version of an idealized society, a utopia that revolves heavily around genetic engineering. In Gattaca, an individual’s future is delineated by his or
In a perfect utopian society everyone gets what they need because communication, understanding, and open mindedness of different ideas would be key. In order for a society to be a utopia, everyone has to be comfortable and be provided with their wants and needs and everything needs to function perfectly. In order for function and equality, people must compromise in thoughts and ideas to provide for everyone. To do that, one must have a good understanding of why others may think differently and have the ability to accept that. One of the many reasons our Earth is not a utopia is because of the competition and contradictory understandings of people, and the inability to accept other’s ideas. You do not have to believe what others believe, but respect for separate thought would make the world better. If everyone had their thoughts heard, were more sympathetic of different ideas and more capable of compromise, then there would possibly not be such gaps in social standing and humans dying from lack of basic needs while others bathe in gold.
Sir Thomas More writes, in his book Utopia, about a society that is perfect in practically ever sense. The people all work an equal amount and everything they need for survival is provided. Most importantly is that everyone living in this perfect society is happy and content with their everyday lives. In this society everybody supports everyone. The community is only as strong as its weakest link. For society to progress everyone must work together. Opponents of the Utopian system, however, feel that the strong should not have to look after the weak. Progress would be maximized if all the resources are spent on the people most qualified to help society. A Utopian society, as perfect as the one
Utopia is said to be a place where a good society is created, where one can live a good life and where power is not abused. But throughout George Orwell’s Animal Farm, the reader learns that a utopian society is in fact impossible. The reader learns this when Old Major tells of a dream he has where everything is perfect and no humans are involved, however when the revolution occurs and the humans are chased off the farm, the pigs become in charge and start to manipulate their power and the other animals, proving that no matter how hard the animals try, they will never have the good life that they want. Furthermore, in Peter Weir’s the Truman Show, we see that your own utopia can not be shaped by another being, because although being in power, Christof makes everything as perfect as he can for Truman, Christof can never give Truman the good life he actually wants which then leaves Truman finding his life unsatisfactory. The good life is determined by freedom and to be able to go where you want and do what you want to do, thus proving that a utopian society can not actually be made because if everyone could do what they want, there’s no guarantee that people would do the right thing which is why we have people in power.
The goal of the utopia is to provide for the community, thus keeping it sustainable. Everyone works not out of personal benefit, but out of benefit for the community which will strengthen
My utopian society consists of three important characteristics, these characteristics are: justice (equality), economic security, and world peace. These characteristics are essential to creating my ideal society. The reason why I believe these characteristics are important is because justice provides equality to all people living in the society. The idea of justice also allows everyone to agree on which actions or words are considered just or unjust. Economic security establishes a strong government that provides welfare and security to all people living in the society. And lastly world peace allows for the people to live in the society without any internal or external fear, such as war and/or crime.
