Dystopian Essay

The community of man is far from perfect, purely because of man’s greed to understand, own, and command everything. There is a concept of utopia that can never be achieved because of these reasons. When I think of man, I think of corruption, and disobedience because we are far from what God had created us to be. According to Ephesians 4:29-32 we must not let no corrupting talk come out of our mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those

Welcome to Liam’s Mind, let’s head over to the giver section! I think it’s a dystopia because the life in the givers world is not what it seems. To the people it seems perfect, amazing, nothing wrong. In reality they are not living just to live, repeat the same things over and over again. The do the same thing everyday and their ideas are screwed up from there government. For example the think that getting released is a happy magical thing that is good. In reality it’s just lethal injection and then

One popular trend is Dystopian societies in which a society that is as dehumanizing and as unpleasant as possible exists, or in some cases there is a society that seems good, but underlying problems or corrupt governments become apparent. This kind of social situation has become

The most effective characteristic of controlling people in a dystopia is constantly have people under surveillance. In a dystopia, everyone should be under control by something. Whether it is by a leader, a government, or cameras. They should be clearly monitored and there should be laws set in place for everything. First of all, I think surveillance is a good characteristic because the leader or government would have access to everything a person or family is doing. By doing this, whoever in charge

“Give me your wallet!” The rugged man held the young girl at gunpoint. In the tiny dark alley-way, in Richtopia, the girl’s brow quirked at the so called “thug.” if only he knew, the girl thought as the man’s revolver cocked against her temple. “Here,” the child stuck out her arm with a clenched fist in front of the man. “It’s my allowance,” she simply stated, the man began to smile crookedly lowering his weapon, a bit, as he placed an outstretched hand to obtain the girl’s allowance. When nothing

Globalization is a dominant feature in this age of information. Social media platforms such as Facebook, Snapchat and Twitter connect people from all corners of the world to learn, communicate, and create. However, this guise of a globally connected utopia is overshadowed by a dystopia prevalent with hate and a faux majority gathering. This fosters a breeding ground of conflict and violent interaction. Before the internet, it was relatively difficult to rally a group of people with the same beliefs

Every utopia is a dystopia for someone else. The Truman Show directed by Peter Weir is about Truman who doesn’t know his life is part of a massive TV set. Throughout the film a notion of utopia versus dystopia is displayed in shots and characters of the movie. Viewers are presented with an ideal town called Seahaven and a life of complete perfection, guided and controlled by Christof.

The book the Giver, by Lois Lowry, is about a community that has no feelings, does not experience pain, and doesn’t know anything about the outside world. The community that this book takes place in is a Utopia. I think this for three main reasons. Those reasons are: everyone in the community shares their feelings, they don’t have to pick their own jobs, and they don’t feel pain. The first reason why I think this is because: everyone in the community always shares their feelings. Everynight, each

The second coming by William Butler Yeats discusses the idea of the gyre which is everything starts at the center and then slowly falls apart on the outside while another thing is being reborn and in doing the same thing on the opposite end. This poem is a dystopia which is the opposite of utopia a world where social problems are magnified and the quality of life is extremely low. The walking dead television show is also a dystopia and can be tied to this poem. In both the second coming and the walking

societal norm, or political system. The films I have chosen to analyze Snowpiercer directed by Joon Ho Bong, Gattaca directed by Andrew Niccol both are movies that show this genre of a futuristic and dystopian society. Snowpiercer and Gattaca show conventions that convey this genre through a dystopian protagonist who standing up against a higher power, restrictions upon freedom and inequality(discrimination) in Gattaca the protagonist Vincent stands up to the labels of valids and invalids and the
