If we lived in a perfect world
The world that we live in today is far from perfect. We read in the papers every day about war, terrorism, famine, genocide, violence, pollution, hatred and sorrow. It is our natural human instinct to believe that things are going to get better but it seems that each day the world actually gets worse and if we look back in history it doesn't seem like things were much better, we only have to look back to the genocide in Rwanda or the Holocaust in Europe during the late 1930's and early 40's. In this essay I am going to describe what I view as a "perfect world" and how things would be and the way they would be run.

In my perfect world each child will be born into a household where everything will be taken care of including food, shelter and education. Each child will then be brought up in a healthy living environment. The child will then begin his or her education, which will be fully paid for, the child will complete a tertiary education and will be fully qualified to pursue any career they want to because there will be no excess of manpower in any field.

When the child finishes school he or she will only have to work in their career to get extras in life like luxuries and additional comforts. They will not have to work for their survival (like our current world) because the law of the world will have taken care of their basic needs from birth till death. This means that people will also work because they enjoy what they are doing and are not doing it just to survive.

When the child decides to settle down and start a family they will have no difficulty in finding the perfect spouse, after their marriage the two will have to find a house, the house will be paid for by the government because they take care of everyone's basic needs, there will be no need for them to live in a house in a boomed road with an electric fence and their own personal security guard as there will be no crime. People will be more interested in enjoying their lives rather than committing

    Although many may strive to develop a utopian society, this ideal is only an unattainable dream that can never become reality; a wish that can never be brought to life. As many aim for this unrealistic ideal, many utopian societies first appear as is; a perfect society with a flawless government and harmonious people- at least on the surface. But when we are provided with a closer look at this supposed utopian society, it is revealed that, at some point in time, this society slowly began to spiral downwards. It would soon develop into a dystopian society where social values and standards have become greatly distorted and skewed. When applying the themes in this book to our current society, comparisons can be drawn in areas such as technology, social interactions and education in both societies.…

    There is but a single key characteristic needed to form a perfect utopia. That is the absence of morality, which for this purpose will be those principles that differentiate between right and wrong. A certain domino effect must be properly and precisely set off in order to create this utopia, failure at any point will result in total systemic collapse at the hands of the governed. To begin, freedom must be completely revoked. Citizens will have all choices made for them by their superiors. This will in turn lead to more sameness, every last person a perfect replica of the last. Everyone’s loss of individuality will result in a singular form of shared morality, dictated by the higher-ups. If each person shares the same morals, not only will…

    Could a perfect society exist in where everyone is treated like equals? Social Justice is a cause that aims to create equality for everyone in the world. However, this aim is prohibited by repressive groups that view only themselves as worthy of ideal lives. These groups try to put down the vulnerable minorities and keep the imbalances in their society. Therefore, their actions create Social Injustice. These Social Injustices affects everyone in the society, whether they realize it or not. In the classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, the science fiction book Ready Player One by Ernest Cline, and the dystopian novel Unwind by Neal Shusterman, characters face various Social Injustices caused by unequal power. In these books, Social Injustice is created by an oppressive society viewing a more vulnerable group as inferior to them.…

Children need experience and they need to be resilient to petty problems and learn how to fight actual problems. Children need to grow into healthy self-sustaining adults.

    In society we long to obtain the perception of a utopia, a visionary system of political or social perfection. A utopia is an ideology that consists of a perfect society that runs by perfect regulations, and because of this, our society tries to place rules on us as individuals as to what is acceptable and what is not in order to achieve this sense of equilibrium. We are then left with deciding for ourselves whether to conform to such a social decorum. In Harrison Bergeron, we encounter a society that has finally reached complete equality in the eyes of the author. However, throughout the text, we learn that our expectations that are imposed by society could result in chaos and that there is an extent of danger that total equality presents with it.…

    The Brave New World by Aldous Huxley discusses a utopian society in which everything is "perfect". Huxley believes that a society like this will emerge in the future due to rapid development of science. Members of the society are genetically engineered and assigned a class by their intelligence. The society is truly flawless in the sense that everyone is happy with the freedoms they have. On the other hand, people in this society are far from perfect because of their freedoms and the way that they were raised. As a society they are lacking the ability to be compassionate with others, simply because they never had to be compassionate. It seems as if they are not even human beings anymore because humans generally care about thing and do what…

    Harrison Bergeron

    Dreaming a perfect society seemed unrealistic. When I was young, I dream my perfect society as a place with my family, toys, food, and happiness, really as a child I don't think deeply about human rights, money, and shelter. At that time my perfect life was simple and easy. Happiness was my definition for a perfect society. In the story “Harrison Bergeron” the definition of a perfect society was robot because in my opinion their goal was trying to make everyone the same, not equal but same, like a robot. When the story start off with “The year was 2081, and everybody was finally equal," sounded good and nice because as a reader I automatically think the equal as human rights equality, but then the following sentence became a little weird. “They weren't only equal before God and the law. They were equal in every which way." It sounded WRONG! Being “equal in every which way” isn’t what I am thinking of as a human. Having to be equal on every side of us is a terrifying idea. Because what I imagined was a world with one color, colorless. As a person who loves art, just by thinking about the idea of having everything the same way was not cool. Children loses the fun in their childhood because everything has to be in a certain order, it looks like that they still have freedom, but really their brain is being controlled they cannot express their idea or opinion freely because their idea might be considered as better than the other kids. The story, “Harrison Bergeron” had a perfect society that in my opinion totally defeat the purpose of a perfect or equal society that most people dream of. The government did not consider the emotional and creative part of people. They shape people into a strict, hard receptacle that turn people dull. For this reason they created a boring place to be in, losing the fun and meaning to live, when “nobody was…

    A perfect utopian society will never exist, but key components to everyone's day to day lives could help them live happily and comfortably. A utopia is a community or state in which everything in it is perfect. This community has perfect and desirable qualities which focuses on the ideals of the community members, pleasing all of their wants. A perfect utopian society in my eyes is one with no danger or fears, living comfortably without any worries for money or resources, and getting along with each other. This society will never exist because of people who do not believe in a peaceful lifestyle. Although a perfect utopian society is hard to achieve because of disobedient people, it could happen by having the resources to help its members to live well and…

    The dictionary definition of a utopian society is “any real or imaginary society, place, state, etc., considered to be perfect or ideal”. I have a proposal for a fictional utopian society that can create a perfect world. The name of this utopia is Neotopia. Neotopia is a worldwide concept that unites the world under one society. The problem our society has is that it is so disconnected and the different countries of the world don’t always get along. Neotopia has a very different view of government, laws, religion, education, and occupation that we are used to in our current society.…
