"My brother never said he was God, only the adopted Son of God. If you desire to receive the blessings of Utopia and the restoration of your body, you need to abide in him. Should you decide to do so, King Emmanuel Christ will forgive your sins against him and God. Then Emmanuel may welcome you into his home. Before you allow someone in your home, must you not look away from their wrongful doings? That is what King Emmanuel is saying. He will look away from your wrongful past and accept you as Jesus said he would forgive your unlawful doings and receive you into his heavenly kingdom." "Do you really think France would ever lower its flag?" asked a reporter. "The people of France need not put up with the injustice of capitalism when Utopian socialism is available to provide for all their needs. If this is a democratic society, let the people vote to lower the French flag for the Utopian flag. Let the people choose what they want, the devil's capitalism or the kingdom of God. If they pick Utopia, they will be welcoming the Lord's blessing. Should they select unjust capitalism, let them not cry to anyone they are in want for anything material or spiritual." "Then your brother will be the king of France, and we became done with ruling monarchs generations ago," said a reporter. "My brother is the King of kings and Lord of lords who will rule France directly or indirectly. It's a question of how he will rule. If you will excuse me, I have a plane to catch." Lawrence and his
There are many different definitions to describe a true perfect Utopia. The reason that there are so many people with many different ideas about the perfect world is because the act of making something perfect in a person vision of utopia is created to suit what that creator deems to be perfect. Perception is the key to understanding what makes a Utopia perfect and what makes it flawed. My view of a Utopia requires several different managements and trade-offs of what is believed to be best for the community. This Utopia cannot be strong unless it has a powerful backing of several democratic leaders, many sound and agreeable rules, understanding of peace, lack of war, and desire to work in harmony within the
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
The French revolution was a very rough patch of history where people had a struggle to live because of the struggle to find food. Louis the sixteenths note described France as, “authority ignored, personal property violated, people’s safety everywhere in danger, crimes remaining unpunished, and a complete anarchy established above the law”. King louis did his very best to make the peoples actions seem absurd in order to hopefully make them reconsider what they had done, however, it would have very little effect on their actions. Finally, the note concludes by King louis the sixteenth offering himself back to the people as a king. The note quotes, “Come back to your king; he will always be your father, your best friend.”

Garden City, Ville Radieuse, and Octagon City. (io9.gizmodo.com). The reason for failure was the simple fact of nothing can ever be perfect. Everyone will always have different point of views. One place which they say was supposed to be a utopian society in Texas is Post,Texas. Post, Texas which was established for people who worked for post the cereal was meant to be perfect. This town also failed in becoming
I write this letter to the people of France, my countrymen and family. I, William, Duke of Normandy am on the verge of solidifying our great nation with land that was rightfully entitled to me. After breaking an oath of allegiance, Harold of Wessex shall pay the ultimate price for his treasonous act of claiming a crown not meant for him. Now as we prepare to wage battle, with the backing of the Pope and all the Holy powers blessed upon me, I shall be victorious.
A glint of good news came to the now-impoverished family when the merchant heard that a ship containing his merchandise had just arrived in port. The merchant was overjoyed and went to claim his wealth, only to find that there had been a legal ordeal and he had, indeed, lost it all. Here, the author tries to illustrate the French government’s inadequacy in meeting the needs of the people. In the 1850s, great minds, including the Swiss/French political philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, were writing that the authority to rule came from the people themselves. Furthermore, philosophers argued that the government’s duty was not to serve their own decadence but rather to serve the people. The French government, being an absolute monarchy, was ruled by only the word of Louis XV, and the royal Bourbon family had a history of ruling to meet their own selfish desires. The French monarchy did not uphold the intrinsic promise and duty of any government to protect, feed, and serve its people. De Beaumont symbolizes this by failing to deliver the goods to the impoverished former merchant. In other words, just like the merchant’s undelivered goods, the
What if I told you that your daily activities are damaging the very Earth that supports you? You wake up and shower with shampoos and soaps that contain a hundred chemicals that proceed down the drain and into the ocean. Then, you then drive your car that produces greenhouse gases that hang out in the air you breathe. Then you throw away all of your trash. All of the waste you have ever produced can still be found to this day, somewhere on the planet. If we want to imagine a utopian society, we have to understand the consequences of our daily actions. It is difficult to imagine an ideal or utopian society when our present day society seems to be stuck in a downward spiral. Although, if you look a bit further and really try to figure it out, some great revelations might come through. An ideal society would emphasize on the basics. It would be a clean and safe place to thrive and support its inhabitants. According to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, a society can be defined as “a community, nation, or broad grouping of people having common traditions, institutions, and collective activities and interests” (Merriam-Webster). From that definition, I can deduct that we, as a broad grouping of people, have collective activities. These activities are as ordinary as eating, walking, and breathing. If we consider every human a part of the Earth society, all of these activities are shared with all people on earth. Ideal society includes the use of renewable energy sources instead of
King Louis XVI was a bad ruler who did not manage his country’s finances well leading to the unfair taxing of the 3rd estate to pay off personal debts. People lost their freedom and equality due to the discriminatory tax laws, that is why the crowd cheered “Long live the Republic! Long live liberty! Long live equality!” at the time of his death. The quote shows us that with Louis XVI alive there is no change in government nor liberty. King Louis XVI often made the 3rd estate work for a month without pay on Versaille. He used an inefficient and outdated taxing system.
twelve men (Robespierre, Barere, Saint Just, Couthon, Lindet, Carnot, Saint-Andre, Prieur, Varenne, Herbois, Scholles, and Duvernois) ruled France; even though they were technically under the control of the Convention. Palmer begins by giving the reader an overview of
How can one separate a mere normal man from a king? And which is more important between men with a passion from a man with a selfish desire? King Louis XVI was an example of a king unfit to rule. We will discuss King Louis’s early life, his reign as king, and the role he played in the French revolution.
“I cannot submit to the obligation which you propose. My election as Prince Royal of Sweden makes it impossible for me to contract any engagement that would make me a vassal of a foreign country…” “Sire, would you make me a greater man than yourself by obliging me to refuse a Crown?” – Bernadotte to Napoleon
In France, inflation is out of control and an oppressive social system results in intolerable and extreme injustices being committed against average citizens, who believe they have the worst of life. The breaking point — riotous rebellion — is near, and the populace of France secretly but steadily moves toward revolution.

And he relies, everything. He argued that because the third estate carries out all the labor required to maintain France and that the third estate makes up a complete nation. He calls the first and second estates a form a cancer as they do not add anything to the civil order like the third estate does, he later states “The noble order is no less foreign amongst up by reason of its civil and public prerogatives.” He knows that the first and second estate do not pay taxes of any kind, yet they are the main beneficiaries from the king. He calls the first and second estates a cancer that must be removed from a society so that the society may remain healthy, “It is impossible to say what place the two privileged orders ought to occupy in the social order…what place one wishes to assign to a malignant tumor.” The Divine Chain of Being which gave a natural order to the world was now called into question and rejected entirely because of the French Revolution.
