What type of utopia might he envision

If everyone has a strong educational background, all of these major problems can be eradicated. There will be more people to help cure diseases. Michael: In utopia there is a perfect ethical code that everyone follows. There are no religions, there is only science. Obviously there is no war because of the perfect ethical code and the cooperation of the society. There is no fear, greed or hate to start a war. Hannah: I would be living in a lake house with my dogs.

I would work a job I loved, and get paid well doing it. The weather would be a perfect degrees and sunny every day, because why not? Emily: No one grows up rich or poor, but instead everyone has the same resources and opportunity when they begin their life. Whether they decide to go to school or start a trade or whatever, that would be a direct result of their own actions and choices. Mariam: Higher education is available to everyone and not just anyone who can afford it.

Everyone has protected rights and lives under democratic ideals where they are free. No evil exists. Everyone can afford clothes, food, shelter and good health care. Sean: Everyone has only one priority: making the world better for all.

Issues that would normally lead to war are now resolved through a friendly pickup baseball game. Vicktoria: There should be basic foods available for free for those who cannot afford to eat and are begging on the street.

Another necessity is for everyone to have a home. There are so many homeless people around Hoboken and even more in NYC.

These people should be taken in by the state and given jobs to do that are simple in exchange for a home. Zachary: A utopian world is impossible. The problem is, in my utopia the laws and common beliefs would be similar to ones I hold. I want people to agree with me, but I realize I am not always right and will have something to learn.

Basically everyone would need to agree but also hold differing opinions, which is impossible. Another problem for me is economic equality. Jyotsna: Creating a utopia is really a lot of hard work. You want to fix all the problems you see in the world, but you also realize that there are so many problems, you wonder if your own utopia could even handle all of the fixes.

That said, in my utopia there would be no need for environmental alarm. People would respect nature. Politics would be about the betterment of people, not power or personal gain. I would be friends with Robert Redford. A non-existent society described in considerable detail and normally located in time and space. In standard usage utopia is used both as defined here and as an equivalent for eutopia below.

A non-existent society described in considerable detail and normally located in time and space that the author intended a contemporaneous reader to view as considerably better than the society in which that reader lived. A non-existent society described in considerable detail and normally located in time and space that the author intended a contemporaneous reader to view as considerably worse than the society in which that reader lived.

A non-existent society described in considerable detail and normally located in time and space that the author intended a contemporaneous reader to view as a criticism of that contemporary society. A non-existent society described in considerable detail and normally located in time and space that the author intended a contemporaneous reader to view as a criticism of utopianism or of some particular eutopia.

A non-existent society described in considerable detail and normally located in time and space that the author intended a contemporaneous reader to view as better than contemporary society but with difficult problems that the described society may or may not be able to solve.

The work also normally takes a critical view of the utopian genre. A non-existent society described in considerable detail and normally located in time and space that the author intended a contemporaneous reader to view as worse than contemporary society but that normally includes at least one eutopian enclave or holds out hope that the dystopia can be overcome and replaced with a eutopia.

Works that present what appears to be a good society until the reader learns of some flaw that raises questions about the basis for its claim to be a good society, or even turns it into a dystopia. The flawed utopia tends to invade territory already occupied by the dystopia, the anti-utopia, and the critical utopia and dystopia. The flawed utopia is a sub-type that can exist within any of these sub-genres.

A group of five or more adults and their children, if any, who come from more than one nuclear family and who have chosen to live together to enhance their shared values or for some other mutually agreed upon purpose. On the contrast between the two versions, see V[esselin] M. Therefore, there is no best society, only multiple variations on a handful of themes as dictated by our nature. For example, utopias are especially vulnerable when a social theory based on collective ownership, communal work, authoritarian rule, and a command-and-control economy collides with our natural-born desire for autonomy, individual freedom, and choice.

Moreover, the natural differences in ability, interests, and preferences within any group of people leads to inequalities of outcomes and imperfect living and working conditions that utopias committed to equality of outcome cannot tolerate. We had tried every conceivable form of organisation and government.

We had a world in miniature. We had enacted the French revolution over again with despairing hearts instead of corpses as a result. Most of these 19th-century utopian experiments were relatively harmless because, without large numbers of members, they lacked political and economic power. But add those factors, and utopian dreamers can turn into dystopian murderers.

If you pull the switch, it will divert the trolley down a side track where it will kill one worker. If you do nothing, the trolley kills the five. What would you do? Most people say that they would pull the switch. If even people in Western enlightened countries today agree that it is morally permissible to kill one person to save five, imagine how easy it is to convince people living in autocratic states with utopian aspirations to kill 1, to save 5,, or to exterminate 1,, so that 5,, might prosper.

The fatal flaw in utilitarian utopianism is found in another thought experiment: You are a healthy bystander in a hospital waiting room in which an ER physician has five patients dying from different conditions, all of which can be saved by sacrificing you and harvesting your organs. Would anyone want to live in a society in which they might be that innocent bystander? Of course not, which is why any doctor who attempted such an atrocity would be tried and convicted for murder.

The Marxist theorist and revolutionary Leon Trotsky expressed the utopian vision in a pamphlet:. The human species, the coagulated Homo sapiens , will once more enter into a state of radical transformation, and, in his own hands, will become an object of the most complicated methods of artificial selection and psychophysical training.
