    Do Utopias Fail ? An utopia is an imaginary society where perfection expects highly desirable qualities for its citizens.

    A perfect society, nothing goes wrong, a world called a utopia. Some people think utopias can actually exist in the real world! Although, that is their opinion I do not agree with it. Just some of the reasons I believe it will never happen are that people aren’t perfect and will always make mistakes, they usually break up due to leaders wanting power, and last some of them are just wiped out by natural causes. To start off, we know that humans are not perfect and always will make mistakes. First

    I believe that even some of the most skeptic and conservative people could accept radical ideas of Utopia to some extent as this is one of the greatest examples of a state where political structure is put on the first view. The difference between Thomas More’s last words in the book and his actual last words is devastating. Did he say the opposite of
