Merriam Webster’s online dictionary states the definition of a utopia as “a place of ideal perfection especially in laws, government, and social conditions” or as “an imaginary and indefinitely remote place.” Utopia, is stated as an “imaginary place of ideal perfection”, and I have visions of what this world would look like if everything could reach perfection for all of society, and hopefully, over time this imagined place could become the reality. I envision a utopia in which all races and genders are truly honored and treated equally because that is how society should be. Physical appearances cannot be what create the judgement of people, everyone deserves to be respected for how they are on the inside and by what talents or characteristics they possess which work to help contribute towards the betterment of society. In reference to The Second Sex by Simone de Beauvior, We Should All be Feminists by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, and a Letter from Birmingham Jail by Martin Luther King Jr., the importance of equality for all people, no matter what differences appear to be present, is established through use of personal stories, powerful diction, and imagery focused on the goal of a new and just society.
Today’s society is composed of two genders, male and female, each gender truly not much different from the other, as they only differ based on the twenty-third chromosome pair they were born with. In The Second Sex, de Beauvior quotes, “The division of the sexes is a biological
Firstly, defining the perception of a strong utopia would be different for every thinker, but if the process works you use it. Equality and conformity are two notions commonly confused in terms of a dream utopia. Equality is not necessarily ideal
Throughout history, many utopian societies have been established in hopes of creating a protected and uniform environment. In order to maintain a perfectly equal and errorless environment, some basic human rights are often violated. Many of the utopian principles put in place are based on the fear that the citizens will gain knowledge and notice the absence of their basic human rights. Unfortunately, once the citizens figure out that the government has infringed on their civil liberties they become disillusioned and want to revolt. This ultimately causes dissention and unhappiness throughout the utopia, which defeats the sole intention the leaders had when creating it. To avoid the rebellion, leaders of utopian experiments infringe on
Two authors who are completely different can have a lot in common in what they write about. African American author Nikki Giovanni wrote a book full of poems called Chasing Utopia, published in 2013. Another African American author, Claudia Rankine, also wrote a book filled with poems called Citizen, published in 2014. Giovanni is more discreet with the story she is trying to tell, where as Rankine tells it how it is.
A utopia is a perfect society that would have no issues or problems so in this essay you will read about all the problems i would remove from our society today to create a perfect society. This may get a bit controversial but try to keep an open mind to these things and realize that it is my opinion. I will write on things such as removing religion due to peoples ability (or lack thereof) to accept them, electronics and the problems with social media or unsocial media I'd rather call it, and the redundancy of the education system and its negative effect on the youth. My utopia would have no religion, here is why the amount of blood shed because of religious differences is downright wrong if a god is all loving and all caring and he or she makes us in his or her image why aren't we all loving and all caring he or she should care enough to not allow such religious wars happen. Religion is the only reason we have equality issues because a human had a voice in his head telling him that being gay and being black was wrong (sounds like skitzophrenia to me) if religion didn't exist we wouldn't have discrimination or hate because of differences.

Utopia in which means in Greek paradoxically means “no place.” A book named utopia written by Thomas More in the 1915 and was one of the first to introduce what modern or today ideal utopian society looks like. Utopia is an idea or place that presents itself to be pure perfection or meet the standards of a nearly perfect society. Tomas More wrote a novel called Utopia which he introduced utopian literature. Authors use utopian characteristics to set up what the idea of the main character wants for his/her perfect society.
A place where everyone comes together in peace and harmony, where people work, live and cooperate like heaven on earth. Some people may believe that these aspects of a perfect society are possible through the perfection of religion, politics, and examples through history. This society would exceed perfection and be called a Utopia. However, because of the imperfections and diversity within humanity, historical failed attempts of creating a perfect society, and different opinions on a Utopian society, creates the reality of a Utopian community unobtainable.
Sir Thomas More writes, in his book Utopia, about a society that is perfect in practically ever sense. The people all work an equal amount and everything they need for survival is provided. Most importantly is that everyone living in this perfect society is happy and content with their everyday lives. In this society everybody supports everyone. The community is only as strong as its weakest link. For society to progress everyone must work together. Opponents of the Utopian system, however, feel that the strong should not have to look after the weak. Progress would be maximized if all the resources are spent on the people most qualified to help society. A Utopian society, as perfect as the one
Money is something that is a fact of life. If you have enough of it you can do whatever you want (as long as it is lawful). Although, for most of us it hinders us from truly being free to do what makes us happy. We spend so much time worrying about how we are going to "make" it that we don't really think about what it actually is. Those that own and create money use it as a way to enslave humanity.
Biologically speaking, De Beauvoir notes that the sexes are defined in opposition to each other; for example, man is not woman and woman is not man. Their differences are, however, unidentifiable at the most basic of cellular levels. Therefore, the main differentiation of the two genders is demonstrated through sexuality. De Beauvoir goes on to argue that woman’s passive role in procreation reflects her passive role in society, and that society trains women to become subjugated from the very day of their birth. Further, despite the two sexes’ cooperative role in creating new members of the species, men are regarded as those who provide “the stimuli needed for evoking new life” (13) and women who simply enable the new life “to become lodged in a stable organism.” (13) This reinforces stereotypical notions of the virile male and the passive female, notions that are reflected in society as woman takes a
As a supply jet wooshes over The Community, the intercom rings and says “Immediately leave your bicycles where they are” and the everyone is to evacuate (Lowrey 2). One big slip up means an end to somebody's life. Even the supplies of daily life are delivered as secretively as possible. However this pilot was unlucky and didn’t follow the directions. Over the intercom we heard a voice say “Needless to say he will be released” (Lowrey 3). This is the first sign of the Illusions created by The Community, because being “Released” does not mean to go out of The Community, it means death. The Community is an artificial, and saccharine “Utopia” that acts like a “Dystopia”. The Community is a cold hearted, and pessimistic place. The Community is a Dystopian Illusion that is protected by walls of propaganda and restrictions on everything in life.
Every modern architects is trying to achieve a dream they have never been perfectly successful society – a Utopia. The word “utopia” first described as fictional island society in Sir Thomas More’s book Utopia in 1516 as perfect community with a visionary system of political and society – cities that function to improve man’s daily lives and free from problems. This imagination city can never exist. Yet, the concept of utopia has influenced to the arts, especially architects.
Each citizen of Utopia should value total and complete equality above all else. Total and complete equality encompasses social matters and governmental matters; no individual is above another in any capacity. This also applies to dealings with the structure of government: the needs of the individual are equal to the needs of the government because the government is the people. This is achieved through the elimination of social hierarchy. Man cannot think of himself as better than his peers if they are equal parts of a whole.
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 and due to historical developments, new opportunities have arisen for women in society. However, we still have long way to go to reach a utopian state. We can see this by the feminist movements that exist today. The belief of feminism is that women should have economic, political and social equality with men.
