The Imprefections of the Societies in The Maze Runner, Nazi Germany, Sierra Leone, and Ancient Greece

The leaders made everyone believe that they bad. Hitler made people believe Jews are bad and Abagail and a few other girls made the town believe the others are witches. This shows that people are willing to believe what others tell them so easily. That is why now there is a court and people that don't know each other are put as jury to listen and make there choice not our leaders.

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.

There are many reasons politically why societies fall, but we will be focusing on Corrupt leaders.In my first society, which is my Dystopian Novel,The City Of Ember. In my book the mayor was corrupt and kept secrets from everyone.“ “So first mayor will pass the box to the next mayor, and that one to the next, and so on down through the years, all of them keeping it secret, all that time?” “ (The City Of Ember, Pg 2) They are keeping information away from everyone and is not ever releasing unless they break the rules. In my second society, which was real and not fictional/dystopian, We will be talking about adolf hitler and how was a corrupt leader and did whatever he could to get whatever he wanted really. “During this era, the leaders of this society and their collaborators killed nearly two out of every three "minorities" as part of the "Final Solution."” he ruined people's lives, family, and the whole society. There were different ways I could have approached this, by using my opinion and saying that adolf hitler was

The society can be affected because of these precarious situations. If more and more people can’t find the strength to get out of these tough situations, our society will become less diverse. A less diverse society is usually caused because the controller wants others to be like them. They want others to have the same thoughts, do the same things, and act in a similar fashion. This results in common thoughts and actions creating a less diverse society. Hitler was a master at manipulating people’s minds to get them to do what he wanted. Hitler had one plan in order to pay back the war debts of WWI. According to Anna Tollar, Hitler was able to exterminate people because of his power: “There was no one who could stop Hitler from committing these crimes because he made himself seem more superior” (Tollar n.pag.). One can not control another if they do not have authority over them. Hitler’s goal was to get thousands of people thinking on the same page. He did this by gaining power. Nobody would listen, or carry out his deeds for him without some authority. In addition, Hitler also used fear to brainwash and control his people: “Hitler saw that as an opportunity to persuade people by bringing fear into people’s lives so they would obey him” (Tollar n.pag.). Hitler became so powerful that he started using fear to control others. He established

Hey..Hey buddy, You think that your society is perfect, without any flaws or worries? Well, that's what the Romans and what Nazi Germany thought, and where are they now? Gone. That's where they are. Even in the fiction book, Ready Player One, they thought they were so tough, but not anymore. These Societies may have been powerful and wealthy, but they all suffered the same fate. Corrupt leaders, turned the society upside down. Poverty, affected the moral of the civilization, bringing it down. Wars destroyed the society, making it weak to attacks. Even the most powerful and beautiful civilizations, fall due to Corrupt leaders, Poverty, and wars.

All of mankind, there have been many attempts to construct a perfect society with happiness, health, and equality, but none has yet to succeed. The novel Divergent by Veronica Roth and the Jewish Holocaust of the 1930’s through 1940’s is examples of attempts, which is called a “Utopia” trying to have a perfect community with high expectations of their citizens. Aiming to make up a perfect society created a Dystopia instead of a Utopia, during the Jewish Holocaust and Divergent both societies conform to certain rules and expectations, they tried to get rid of something that was not considered the norm, and citizens were not treated well and they were not equal. Pushing for high expectations and a perfect society from the citizens, caused the opposite of what each society had strove for, a dystopian society and an unpleasant society.

First, dictatorships can arise from popular fear when one person tries to promise the people what they think they need and another tries to give them what they want. This is shown through Hitler’s rise to power (“Causes of World War II: Hitler’s Actions”). Hitler became powerful because he promised the German public something that the Weimar Republic and its leaders couldn’t: a chance to become powerful

From there, people conclude that power leads to corruption. Many attribute Adolf Hitler as corrupt because of his actions in World War II. After all, without Hitler, the Holocaust would be virtually unimaginable (Bartov). Despite all that, power had little to do with Hitler’s corruption. Those who achieve power come with a set mindset.

People of power have the ability to protect the weak, enforce a moral code, and contain any outbreaks of anarchy there might be. However, as stated previously, when corrupt individuals rise to power they have the ability to destroy the weak, enforce their own personal agenda, and allow for immoral groups to run amuck. As the past has shown, when these evil men gain any form of power they tend to abuse it. We can all look at the actions of Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Kim Jong-Un, and Saddam Hussein, who all in their own way have abused the power given to them by the people. Some by imprisoning their own population, some by allowing millions to die of starvation so they could redirect money towards their own well being or agenda, and some by attempting to single handedly annihilate certain groups of

Throughout life, it’s said that power is in the eye of the beholder, but it’s never been said just how much power one can glimpse before they are blinded. Of course, it’s impossible to truly gift a being with infinite power, but in the television show, Death Note (DN), and the novel, The Lord of the Flies (LotF), the danger of the scenario is made all too visible. These two stories, bound by their similarities prove that we need laws and human weakness to keep us in check, seeing that a human with boundless power will impose his will upon anything at any given moment, and power will eventually corrupt that will. Several of the aforementioned similarities help to further this point, but the most prominent one is that a problematic amount of

Dennis Prager once said, “Although images of perfection in people’s personal lives can cause unhappiness, images of perfect societies, utopian images, can cause monstrous evil. In fact, forcefully changing society to conform to societal images was the greatest cause of evil in the 20th century.” (Prager Dennis, Search Quote) The meaning of this upscale quote goes to show how our generation evolves into society. In general, everyone wishes to live in a perfect world, with perfect, happy people, where no harm can be done. Each individual has their own way of wanting “a perfect society.” For example, it could be living in a world with no violence or war, and another person can think their “perfect society” would be living in a world of equality amongst our peers. In other words, this perfect world that one would want to/ think they live in is called a Utopia.

The absolute power Hussein possessed led to the absolute corruption of Iraq for nearly twenty-four years. During Hussein?s rule, 200,000 people were killed or ?disappeared?. Another major dictator was Adolf Hitler who dictated and killed countless human beings. Hitler?s philosophy of thinking made him kill retarded, crippled, and disabled children along with homosexuals and Jewish people. The power that Hitler received when he became leader corrupted him and made him kill six million Jews, nearly committing genocide on the Jewish population. The corruption increased, with Hitler?s desired to expand Nazi Germany. In addition, the dictatorship and corruption caused by power is also expressed in fictional stories.

A perfect society. Something we long and hope for, and work towards to achieve for our future. We picture this society in many different ways, including things like equality, no poverty, and everyone being taken care of among many things. However, we have not become this perfect society yet. This makes you start to wonder, what is preventing this perfect society that we all share a vision of? The perfect society would contain things like equality, happiness, and unity. However, these things are counteracted by greediness, other’s misery, and the fight for power.

One reason why a perfect society can never be made is due to the fact that even though it might be set up perfectly, we cannot change the fact that people are imperfect. Any bit of imperfection is all it takes to cause something to turn from perfect to imperfect. One writer said about utopian societies, “Even with such optimism, the flawed individual is still inserted into otherwise improved societies" (Hough 1). This quote explains how the society in general is improved, but the people are not. Governments have tried to change the way people think to create perfect humans. People are influenced to think exactly how the government wants them to, and teaches them from a young age to love the Party and the government in which they live. Their right to make their own assessment is being taken away. It is true that governments are often successful in brainwashing the majority of the population; however, they can never control

The idea of a perfect society, or “utopia,” was first introduced in Sir Thomas More’s book Utopia, written in 1516. In the book, More described a fictional island in the Atlantic Ocean through the character Raphael. On the island everything and everyone has a specific place and purpose. There is no private property, all of the houses on the island are the same; you can walk in the front door, through the house, and out the back door. All necessary items are stored in warehouses, where people only request what they need. The people on the island manufacture the items in the warehouse, everyone that can work does, which means little to no unemployment.
