To me a utopia cannot be achieved, a utopia would be “perfect world” where everyone is satisfied. A dystopia can be very far from perfect, as it is in The Giver. The world in The Giver by Lois Lowry is a dystopia because no world anywhere can ever be perfect, the people who live there will never be truly happy and because without choice life can be very boring, as it is in The Giver.

If a society is somehow all content and happy with the way things are, then most modern day problems would be solved. If there were some way to achieve this dream of a community, political conflict would become a thing of the past. The desired goal is a utopian society. A utopia is a place or stat gcxhe of order in which everything is perfect. The more that we fight for this dream, the more apparent it becomes that such a society is impossible. When government tries to create a utopia, the image of a perfect life could evolve. The result of this could be a dystopia. A dystopia is when the opposite of a utopia is established when trying to create a utopia. In The Maze Runner, a group of teenage boys are trapped in the center of one giant maze. An exemplary dystopian effect is given within the book when one of the boys states: “If you ain’t scared, you ain’t human”(Dashner 9). The author really helps the reader engage in how it really felt to be trapped and scared. No matter

In the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the etymology of utopia is Greek meaning, “not place”; while dystopia is English and means “bad utopia”. Utopia has a positive connotation like paradise. A world where everyone gets along and there's no illness. Dystopian societies, however, have a negative connotation that is bleak and depressing. In Fahrenheit 451-written by Ray Bradbury-the two societies are connected by the idea that both can coexist depending on the person’s perspective. Also, by creating a dystopian civilization Ray Bradbury creates a conflict which enhances his prediction about the future and technology. The main character, Montag, thoroughly enjoys his job of burning books. “Later, going to sleep, in the dark. It never went away, that smile, it never ever went away, as long as he remembered.” (2) This is

A utopian society is a perfect place, a place where people are happy about their lifestyle; in other words, nirvana. The origin of “dys” in dystopia means bad so a dystopian society is a bad place, an unpleasant place where their morals are wrong. The novel Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and 1984 by George Orwell are both considered dystopian novels due to the fact that in both societies the government thinks their world is perfect and that everyone is pure but in reality it is not; that is one similarity they share together, but there are also differences.

A dystopia is an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or dreadful. It is typically a society that is limited to certain resources. In a dystopia, a society is usually controlled by the government and leaves no power to the people. Two examples of dystopias would be take place in Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and in Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins. They have an abundance of components in common, while there are also a few notable differences, each society has its own advantage, and the reactions would be different depending on what dystopia and the surroundings you are placed in.

As time goes on, attempts at a utopian society have failed and that means that not only have utopias been created but that dystopias have arrised. Each one is set and planned to be a utopia that only ends up taking another course and turning into a dystopian society. Utopia simply means “an ideal place or state”, where as a dystopia is the opposite (“utopia”). Dystopias is “a society characterized by human misery, as squalor, oppression, disease, and overcrowding” (“dystopia”). Utopias usually end up becoming dystopias because everyone has their own vision of what they want their “perfect” place to be. Somebody’s perfect form of life is different than another person’s form or vision. A utopia is supposed to accommodate to everyone in the

Dystopias are often mistaken for utopias by those who conform to the strict rules in the society, and sought out by those who see the corrupt culture. Utopias are defined as “a place of ideal perfection especially in laws, government, and social conditions”, whereas dystopias are the complete opposite (“Utopia”). A dystopian society is described as “an imaginary place where people lead dehumanized and often fearful lives” (“Dystopia”). Utopian societies easily transition into dystopian societies due to excessive control of the people from a single leader or group. A sense of overbearing leadership is used to regulate all of society including government and social aspects. Free thought is restricted in the society to unify the people into believing

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

Natural selection is the process whereby species that are better equipped for survival in their environment are able to prolong their bloodline by reproducing. Advancements in these species, evolution, can be seen as a result of natural selections force. Natural selection can be broken down into three concepts that require it to operate. The first is the constant struggle a species face for survival, which results in the continuation of the successful branches of the species, as the others become extinct. The second requirement is a varying population, these more successful branches only stem from mutated groups or individuals whose features become beneficial when faced with such struggles. The third concept is the presence of a mechanism that allows these mutations to be passed on to the next generation, thus evolving the species. All three of these conditions are interrelated, and must take place in order for natural selection to play its role in the evolutionary process.

For clarification purposes, there are some definitions to keep in mind when reading this essay. The dictionary defines a utopia as an imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect. It is worth noting that Sir Thomas More first used the word utopia in the year 1516 in the book Utopia. A utopia is not a contemporary idea. Conversely, a dystopia is defined as an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded one. Totalitarian is defined as a system of government that is centralized and dictatorial and requires complete subservience to the state.

A dystopia is a “ futuristic, imagined universe in which oppressive societal control and the illusion of a perfect society are maintained through corporate, bureaucratic, technological, moral, or totalitarian control( ReadWriteThink).”

Marc 1 Realty is a real estate company located in the Charlotte Metro area of North Carolina. This company has grown from only serving two of the smallest counties in the area to becoming one of the largest real estate firms in the metropolitan area over the past twenty years (Mosteller, 2015; Trulia, Inc., 2015). The company successfully thrived during the economic recession and is now facing a steadily improving market (Mosteller G. , 2015; Koepke, 2015; Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, 2015). As seen from the SWOT analysis and balanced scorecard previously analyzed, the company has seen success in many of its critical success factors, including sales, customer satisfaction, productivity, and innovation (Mosteller J. , 2015). This does not mean that the company needs to stop innovating and seeking new ways to grow its customer base. A company should always continually seek to better itself, or it will slowly fall behind its competitors and not realize this is occurring until it is too late.

Utopia and dystopia: different, yet the same. Utopia is a perfect universe one with darkness plunging into the light, or light propelling into darkness? The answer may vary from person to person because “I cannot suit you all” as Ursula Le Guin mentions in her essay “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas”(LeGuin). Sure, a utopian society may sound appealing seeing as it is an imagined place where everything is perfect. However; it is such defined as imaginary due to the fact that one perfect idea is not perfect for every individual due to the core human instinct of selfishness festering in the mind, waiting to be released from the dungeon.

A dystopia represents the polar opposite of a utopia. Indeed, it could even be considered a failed utopia, a failed ideal society. If one accepts this notion as fact, then it would lead to the logical conclusion that both must share some of the same characteristics. Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 portrays one such dystopia that has emerged throughout the ages clearly depicting characteristics such as conformity, isolation from external influences, and an apparent lack of poverty, misery, and war.

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
