Why Have Utopian Experiments Possible?

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.

Utopias are terrible things. They are only beneficial to the people that create them. “The perfect place” is not always the perfect place for the other people who live there. It usually ends up in destruction. It could also lead to the government being overthrown.

I think that utopias are impossible to achieve. There is a lot of evidence supporting this. I will be writing about three reasons a utopia is impossible to achieve. Reason number one, almost always there is one person or more that revolts against the rules. Reason number two is somethings are not reachable, like if I wanted unicorns.

Each person has their own vision of utopia. Utopia means an ideal state, a paradise, a land of enchantment. It has been a central part of the history of ideas in Western Civilization. Philosophers and writers continue to imagine and conceive plans for an ideal state even today. They use models of ideal government to express their ideas on contemporary issues and political conditions. Man has never of comparing the real and ideal, actuality and dream, and the stark facts of human condition and hypothetical versions of optimum life and government.

The definition of a utopia is an ideal place or state. The definition of a utopia is perfect, but can utopias good in real life? I believe that utopias are not perfect or ideal in real life. I believe this, because they can become dystopias over time and they can change over time. Also utopias are usually meant to please only one person or a small group of people.

The prospect of utopia, that is, an unchanging static society, has little appeal compared to the prospect of trying to reach such an exalted existence. And it's this idea of progress that we often associate with the idea of utopia. Appealing as it may seem, an utopia is a double edged sword. It is both the end result of our desires and an end to those desires. Because ending our desire goes against our human nature, the notion of utopia can no longer exist to the human mind. Therefore, neither the Garden of Eden nor the island of the Houyhnhnms is an utopia because both societies are unchanging. In them, both progress and desire is forbidden.

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

In a utopian society, everyone is treated equal, but in our world utopias never last long. There are many problems in a utopian society. To begin, the most common problem is people disagreeing. Up next, you have the problem of them not having enough food, and they need outside funding. Final say, there is modern technology, without modern technology, it would be even harder for them. Utopias are very short lived because of these problems.

‘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

Throughout the ages, man has come to idealize a word that is most commonly related to ‘heavenly’ or ‘perfect’ without actually picking up the book and realizing for themselves that there is no such thing. A Utopian society could never exist because man is made to want, to desire success. Man is competitive by nature and would never be happy in a society where everyone is equal and there is no chance of advancement. Sir Thomas More dreamt of a land that was much like England but could never surpass time. He opened the eyes of a nation and made its people desire something new. Views were significantly changed and the world would never be the same. Sir Thomas More inspired dramatic changes in religion, community life and even paved

Then the utopia will fail, they never succeed. A utopia is not possible because no matter what it always fails in the end. One reasons that a utopian society is not possible is because people have emotions for certain things in which cause love, hatred, happiness, sorrow, ect. In the article “Why Utopias Fail”, the author states, “Paradise will again be ours in the afterlife if we reach Heaven,Valhalla or the Happy Hunting Grounds.

A utopia sounds like a wonderful thing. The Oxford English Dictionary defines “utopia” as an “imagined or hypothetical place, system, or state of existence in which everything is perfect, esp. in respect of social structure, laws, and politics.” (OED, 2015, entry 2) But what happens when someone tries to bring this imagined land of perfection into reality? Both in fictional literature and in real life applications, utopian dreams destroy societies.

A person’s perception of Utopia varies depending on their life experiences and what they hope to expect of the society in which they live. It's an ideal place where equality, serenity, protection, and freedom are essential qualities.

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.

(87). This piece of evidence shows that at least something is bound to go wrong in a utopia. Relating to why a utopia is not possible, a community cannot enforce the way individuals must act, talk, or how their clothes look. This is a significant reason as to why a utopia will not work
