Motivation Of The Utopian Environment: Lena

Everyone believes that utopias are perfect for everyone, but not everybody has the same opinion. Utopias are up to no good, nothing new ever happens, it’s always the same. Some may think that their utopia is the same for everyone else but it’s not. No one is allowed to be themselves in utopias.

In the book Anthem by Ayn Rand the story takes place in a setting where the main character and supposably the entire world for all they know lives in a city full of rules and controls. The book is about a society in where people don’t have their own names and where they go by numbers like the main character who’s name is Equality 7-2521. The book is also about the main character Equality 7-2521 and how he goes about finding essentially a battery that he has created and brings it to the world council where he is turned down and from that point on he realizes how bad their society really is and how he reacts to it. The reasons the society full of rules and controls exists and what the purpose is for them is because of a government trying to make a utopia, to forget the past, and to forget about a singular world as a whole.

The struggle and debate for and about utopias has been going on for thousands of years. In the classic book, Brave New World, the author, Aldous Huxley, explores the aspects of happiness and stability through creating a utopia of his own. Of course, the civilization that he writes about is imperfect in many ways and the story follows an outcast in the society. In the book, Huxley shows us that true universal happiness is unattainable because to live a happy and fulfilled life with a true emotional range of feelings, essentially what it means to be human, people need to have freedom and thought. But in order to have a utopia with never ending happiness, people need stability and control. This makes a utopia an impossible

Revenge on the Murderers In November of 1846, Edgar Allan Poe published a short story titled “The Cask of Amontillado”. The short story was about a man who wanted revenge on someone else because of the insults he had received. In another short story written by Andre Dubus in 1979 titled “Killing”. This was about several aspects such as revenge, morality and murder.

Envision a utopia in which every factor that could lead to one’s unhappiness was eliminated. There would be no family, no love, and no emotions. There can be no forms of high art that stir up revelry in people. These things lead only to heartbreak, loss, and depression in the eyes of this world’s leaders. With these negative emotions, the utopian society cannot achieve social stability. However, a new drug, Soma, does away with any negative emotions and makes life a “joyful place.” The place I am referencing is the World State from Aldous Huxley’s novel, Brave New World. In the World State, citizens are stripped of emotion and the truth about their situation in order to achieve the social stability their leaders desire, but is their happiness really worth it if it is fake? Huxley presents the incompatibility of social stability and truth by illustrating the constant struggle between valuing one or the other in order to achieve a world without conflict.

Jonas had a discussion with The Giver about choice. They said how choice doesn't matter that much when choosing things like what comfort animal the child will get.Though hey mention how is important later on. The Giver and Jonas both agree that having choice is not safe.They say how Freighting it would be if people could choose their own occupation. If you remove choice then there is no way anyone would learn anything. People learn and grow when they make mistakes.To conclude,giving up choice is not worth having increased happiness. The pros far outweigh the cons. The argument of saying that choice should be eliminated to save people is insane. We can clearly see what happens when we give up choice. There is no individuality, no freedom,and life would be dull. If we didn’t have choice life would simply not be worth

Throughout history, many utopian societies have been established in hopes of creating a protected and uniform environment. In order to maintain a perfectly equal and errorless environment, some basic human rights are often violated. Many of the utopian principles put in place are based on the fear that the citizens will gain knowledge and notice the absence of their basic human rights. Unfortunately, once the citizens figure out that the government has infringed on their civil liberties they become disillusioned and want to revolt. This ultimately causes dissention and unhappiness throughout the utopia, which defeats the sole intention the leaders had when creating it. To avoid the rebellion, leaders of utopian experiments infringe on

I love nature. You wouldn’t expect that from a princess—Princess Lucy Willows, that is. The only appealing thing to a girl like me is the fact that insects and marine animals and such exist.

She says that there are bears, bees, mosquitoes, poison ivies . . . the list goes on, but nothing will get in my way of searching! Plan A begins!

     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

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

In our lives today, we take advantage of all the luxuries that are presented daily. Freedom alone is one of the greatest luxuries we possess as an American nation. In Death and Life of Great American Cities by Jane Jacobs and Utopia by Thomas Moore, we are presented two life styles, which some might consider very similar in various ways. Both authors focus on a peaceful living lifestyle, to better the people of the nation. Although some of their specific details are different, I believe that Jacobs would definitely approve of the features that More develops in Utopia.

Each citizen of Utopia should value total and complete equality above all else. Total and complete equality encompasses social matters and governmental matters; no individual is above another in any capacity. This also applies to dealings with the structure of government: the needs of the individual are equal to the needs of the government because the government is the people. This is achieved through the elimination of social hierarchy. Man cannot think of himself as better than his peers if they are equal parts of a whole.
