    nothing was ever unexpected. Or inconvenient. Or unusual. The life without color,pain,or past.” -Lois Lowry The Giver. A Utopian society would benefit the human race better than living in a democratic society. The benefits of living in a Utopian society would be no poverty, upper class, middle class, lower class, and there would be no competition. As a result a Utopian society would make everyday life easier. In the Giver the economy is maintained by the government which makes everyone equal and

    Jacque Fresco once said “There’s no way to design a society that’s optimal or utopian. It’s better than the one that was. Systems always undergo change.” Are Utopian (perfect) societies even possible in American society? No, nothing is perfect nor will it ever be perfect. Perfect is having a supportive community, clean environment, and everyone being equal. No society will be utopian no matter how hard we try to make it like that. What is the definition of perfect? “Having all the required or desirable

    Why a Utopian Society would never work First of all what is a Utopia? A Utopia is a place in which everything is perfect. Everyone would wish society was perfect but I think it would never work.

A Utopia violates natural laws of life and is inconsistent with itself. The main reasons why a utopian society is Inconsistent is that

    A utopian society is amongst many things that we as humans strive towards. In an ideal world, a society where everyone is treated equally and sin does not exist, is the definition of a perfect society. However, what many people neglect to understand is that they are striving to reach a goal that is nearly impossible to accomplish. A utopian society is nearly impossible to have because of power imbalances, different values, and the existence of sin. All of which are a part of human nature, and controlling

    A Utopian Society What is a Utopia, is it a perfect system of economics? Or is it a World without any conflict, or wars? To some people it may even be by their definition a society without poverty, to which each and, every individual is treated with equal opportunity. In my honest opinion, the vision of a Utopia is a world of superior technological advancements, a reduced authority of government over people, and a society of a strong sense of equal opportunity. A world with grand scientific

    A utopian world is one that is different from person to person and given the ideology that one attains, the utopian state doesn’t fit all individuals. In my socially just utopian society, women have the same rights as every man that walks this earth. Differences and individuality would be embraced and not imposed; they would be respected and not ridiculed. There is no political correctness in my utopia; rather, it differs depending on a woman’s personal choices. In the past, women had few life options

    Utopia is word that I was actually just recently exposed to maybe a few years ago. When I first heard the word I found out it pretty much meant “The perfect society”. According to the Greek language, Utopia actually means nowhere. The book states on page one that this Utopia is supposed to be a description of an ideal society but it also states that there is no agreement on how all of us should interpret the text. Regarding the statement where Morus practically claims that we shouldn’t take this
