Goals Of Utopia

No one is ever allowed to be themselves in a utopia. Everyone has to be equal, or as in “Harrison Bergeron”, “Two years in prison and two thousand dollars fine for every ball I took out.” If you don’t follow the rules you will have to pay the consequences. If you try to be different, you’ll get arrested or something even worse.

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.

Utopia would be a place where everyone cared and loved for each other. For example, no one would judge nor criticize another person. No one would fight over different things, thus the prevention of war. One would never feel threatened in their acts if nobody hated them for it.

Talking about an Utopian society, resembles the perfect world. For example, in Froston education is the main priority. The school system will be the same as our society now, just with a few changes. Three exams in the same week and homework is not allowed. The education system is modern and technological, every subject from our current society will be taught and required to graduate high school. After that, people would pass straight to the university or college and complete a bachelor. Applying to college is the same process and requirements from our current society. Good grades, an essay resume, and SAT. Then, students will graduate and have a job opportunity based on what they studied. They will become successful and rich. For this

     In Utopia, the distribution of work is intended to be as equal as possible and “agriculture is the one occupation at which everyone works” (36). Equal labor is successful in the sense that everyone puts in the same amount of time for an important cause—food production for consumption and trade. Because property is public, there is no need to have more than what is necessary, creating a low “demand”. Low “demand” means limited supply and limited supply equals less work. When not working, Utopians have leisure time to do as they please without being idle. The division of work and leisure creates a successful balance for the members of Utopia.

A utopian society would be classified as perfect and just for all. This society has been conceived numerous times throughout history along with numerous ideologies. Although these ideologies have solved specific problems, none of them can be considered perfect due to numerous perceptions, which in turn would prevent perfection. In 1984, the Party made a totalitarian government. Like other oppressive governments throughout history, the ideology designed by the Party was not capable of creating a society that could support all people. Currently democracy provides the best society, but can still create oppositions of views. Even though some ideologies may present themselves as ideal, when applied to reality, they fail due to uncontrollable factors. This means an “ideal” society is impossible for mankind to accomplish as proposed by the totalitarian government in 1984 and from historical events.

Just like the first theory of Utopia being a communist country, the socialism theory also mentions the Utopian attitude of common wealth. The Utopian position is believed to be founded upon the distrust of mankind. How can this manmade island be perfect when its residents can’t trust its own race? How do they deal with outsiders and population problems? Well the answer to the population problem they just send people away to other states that need more people or family members that have one too many, these actions seem worse than their ideals of common wealth, anyway I digress these will be mentioned later on. The Utopians even frown upon private activities like eating, reading philosophy, and taking a vacation are discouraged. Privacy in a way is scary to them because once someone has it there could be no telling what he or she

Every person has their own personal vision of utopia. My utopia may be filled with libraries and cats, while yours would probably look very different. In Frankenstein, Shelley gives us Victor Frankenstein, a man who envisions a world where he will never feel the pain of losing someone he loves again. He devises a way to cheat

The quality of your individual life would greatly improve in utopia. The burdens you face from corporate monopolies, the overwhelming weight of the devaluation of your currency and the lack of faith in your neighbors to achieve a civilization of peace and mutual respect has taken its toll for too long. Although this sounds as if it was taken directly from George Orwell’s book (1984) itself, the propaganda of a utopian government rule and the current everlasting war breathes as it’s on self-reliant organization today. Weary of the multiple political parties that are emerging every three seconds, we are faced with a question that has been proposed since the beginning of logical thinking. Is it

     In Utopia, people have an ample amount of free time. During “all the void time, that is between the hours of work, sleep, meat that they be suffered to bestow, every man as he liketh best himself” (More 137). People can focus on the activities which bring them pleasure because they are not trying to elevate themselves in society by working extra hard. People do not pick activities so that they can become the best at whatever hobby they choose. People choose a hobby based upon what brings them the most pleasure. Nearly everyone in the community reads and studies because they all take pleasure out of learning and improving their minds. An equal amount of time is spent in physical activities so that the body as well as the mind can experience pleasure. The Utopians strive to better themselves equally in the mind, body, and spirit.

For generations, the topic of “utopia” has been discussed. Most commonly we are reminded of a perfect place that cannot exist when we hear the term. What would be your perfect place? What would be your Utopia? In this paper, when we refer to utopia, we will be considering a self-sufficient society that is morally perfect, helping each and every member of the population to be the best person he or she can be. There will be no poverty, no war and no hate. The people of our utopia will be happy with their lives, not just content. No one citizen would be of greater power or importance than another. Everyone contributes and everyone helps their neighbors. According to Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary, “utopia” is defined as “an imaginary and indefinitely remote place as well as an impractical scheme for social improvement.” Society tends to disagree regarding “utopia” with two common stances. The first being that the place Utopia does not currently and will never exist; therefore, it is a waste of time to discuss this imaginary topic. The other side to the discussion is that if we discuss a topic such as this, we can model our actions and set our goals on a path to obtaining a more ideal society. In the book Utopia, written by Thomas More, the author makes note of utopia being a subject best left for amusement among friends and discussions between kings and their advisors. In this paper, we will look at the benefits of our society’s leaders discussing how we may achieve a perfect utopia. We will also consider the benefits of the general population engaging in meaningful discussions regarding the topic. Lastly, we will touch on why it is necessary for both the leaders of society and the general populous to discuss these topics together in order to make the most advances towards our goal, if our goal was to make a society closer to that of Utopia.

Our utopia has a leader. It isn’t one single leader; it is more like a group of leaders. The leaders would be chosen from the communities’ people who meet different requirements, for example like good mental health, are educated, etc... The leaders will monitor how the society is doing and what changes should be made. There will be different leaders in charge of different things. We wouldn’t want to have leaders that are totally

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.

Towards the end of the Industrial Revolution, a faction of socialism called Utopian Socialism emerged as a strong movement. They were called Utopians because of their unrealistic and fanciful ideas, mainly creating a society without social class, crime, or any sort of ill to the community. The movement is said to have originated with Thomas More's Utopia, written in 1517, a fictional novel about an ideal society where everyone is peaceful and happy. Realizing that their ultimate goal of a ‘perfect’ society was unrealistic, many early socialists split off from the Utopians and created practical socialism. This type of socialism called for a style of government where most property is commonly shared and income equality is strived for through

one wants to farm, there will be no food. If no one wants to labor, there will be no benefits to share. Should such happen, let no one complain about longing for anything or being hungry and cold. I can provide the means; the rest is left to the people. If a group of people decides to occupy one house and live off the work receipt of one person in the household who is working, so be it. My ears will be closed to anyone's crying about there not being enough goods and services to provide for everyone. In the capitalist world, when you find someone unemployed, you feel sorry for him. If I can foresee the future correctly, I believe those found unemployed in Utopia would become social outcasts, as there will be no reasons to be unemployed except for a desire to be a freeloader. Social values should undergo a change. Whereas money is the root of all evil, and Utopia will not have any money, Utopia will not have any evil. People will stop competing against one another and will come to discover a new human being heretofore rarely seen. The new creation will be people who will enjoy welcoming a stranger into their homes. They will be people who give, ask for nothing in return, and will help others secretly and not blow a trumpet for all to hear. I expect Utopia to be a shining light to a world stricken with suffering and despair. The world worships money because money signifies wealth and power. They will see through Utopia wealth can be achieved without money, and power is of no
