My Utopia is a perfect world in which all things are good; meaning theres no war between anyone, theres free education for everyone, and no one suffers from any thing. This Utopia would be nothing like the world we live in today, with feuds between countries over religion, or homeless people because they can't find a job. My utopia would be the end of it all, and no one would know what it means to suffer by any means.
The people who inhabit my world will never see a frown. They will never feel the feeling of stress, anxiety, or depression. Smiles would be on everyone's face only due to the fact that their would be pain or evil left in the world. Everyone would have the same opportunity to go to school no matter the age, race, religion, or income. If you do go to school you would be rewarded, and not rewarder with something small, but rewarded with a house to live in. You would be rewarded with food to eat, cloths to wear, and money to spend on what ever it is...show more content...

In my Utopia there would be no war between any country. No country would have hatred for one another. Everyone would be allies. Everyone would see each other as human beings and would be willing to cooperate with each. There would be no such thing as fighting because everyone would get along. This would keep the world peaceful and everyone happy.
My utopia would be the best utopia of them all. My utopia would be better to live in rather than todays society. If my utopia were to be real, you best believe I would be the first one to move in

My Utopia Research Paper
Utopia 'ahhh' ... I was told it was the land of the free, the place where anything was possible no matter where you were from or who you were. I had once stupidly thought that it would've been possible for a man like me, a man with skin darker than most and a family without a spare penny, to do the impossible. To achieve a better life. To save my family from poverty. A man once told me that I cannot succeed in life until I want to succeed as much as I want to breathe. I was stupid to come ... ... and a foamy lather spills over the edges. Back and forth, back and forth. The dull swishing of the mop across the floor had become a daily routine. The day I began working at this nuclear power plant I was filled with optimism.

I found a book in which you were able to pick what the protagonist would do and i remembered how i had found these books interesting at a young age. So in the end after looking at many different conventional styles of writing i decided to go with 'pick your own story'. To start off my draft i looked at how other authors who also used the style, 'pick your own story' and successfully created books with it. I found a story about a robot and how he just wants to fit into society but he is mocked and bullied because he is a robot by other people. Through a few drafts i came up with the storyline about a black man who is poor and just wants to be accepted in society and help his family. Through more drafts i was able to create this final product of my story. I am happy with the end product of my story as i quite enjoy the story myself and feel like i gave the short story a hundred percent. I believe i can further improve my stories by writing more drafts and plans and having my final product proof read by other people rather than just

Personal Narrative: My Utopia
My Utopia What is a Utopia? Utopia is an imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect. Everyone has their own Utopia in mind, each person's different from the next. My Utopia is peaceful, healthy, and everybody works for what they want. Nobody is awarded anything they don't deserve, regardless of who they are. Everyone is treated just and fairly in my ideal society. MyUtopia is a large community with flat, grassy land, ideal for farming and growing resources. The climate is mild with 4 distinct seasons, each following the traditional stereotype. Humans grow their own food and all resources used in their society. My Utopia would be in North America. It would be beautiful, flowers and plants blooming everywhere, animals roaming freely, humans interacting peacefully with one another....show more content... Laws are basic, and relatively the same as the laws enforced in the society we live in now. However, my Utopia has some rules. Every one is to be respectful and kind to one another. Realistically, I know there will always be competition and jealousy, but in my Utopia, you are not to show those feelings. Punishments will not be cruel and unusual, but fair depending on the circumstance. Everyone who commits the same crime, will endure the same punishment, regardless of who they are. Once again, everyone is equal. Everyone in my Utopia, within reason, is required to have a job. There are, of course, exceptions. Some exceptions would be the disabled or injured, elderly, and young children. Homes will be decided upon how much you earn and work; the more house you can afford, the more house you can have. Money will be earned depending on the job you have and the the hours you work. Everyone is given equal opportunity for each job and start off making the same amount of money. You get to choose what job you want to do, and how much effort you put in decides your

My Utopia In America
If you could have the power to create your own utopia, what do you envision? There are a vast amount of utopias that one could build, but since imagination is the only source as of now, what characteristics would I consider for my own? There are many questions that might run through one's head, like for example: What will the utopia look like? What is the social mechanism within this society? Finally, how will everyone eat since no one starves in a utopia? While there are tons of other questions to be asked and answered, I believe these are the best for someone to be able to grasp onto my concept of my own utopia. But since this is only a product of thought, how do I picture my utopia? Everyone's creativity varies from one to another....show more content...
These are some distinct features of what my utopia looks like, but for the utopia to function, there has to a social mechanism set in place. Furthermore, there is a social mechanism within this utopia. Since I am creating my own utopia, I decided to also create my social mechanism. With creating my own social mechanism, I thought it would be ideal to go away from a materialistic object, but towards an ideology. I chose spirituality for my people to follow, more specifically, a forest deity. Like most religions, people believe without seeing, so they would be following a non–materialistic object. The people of the utopia believe that there is a deity living within the forest. The social mechanism disguises itself as a spiritual figure that enforces the people to embrace harmony and unity in exchange for protection and shelter. This social mechanism keeps the people of this utopia in line by making them dependent on one another. If no one is willing to get along and work together then survival is limited. The social mechanism is set in place is more like a set of guidelines for the society to follow. So unlike some utopias and dystopias, this mechanism is not set to do good for some, but good for all. With this ideology prominent within this society, it helps follow how everyone eats by farming and distribution. In addition to the social mechanism, it explains how everyone has enough food for survival. All living beings need to consume foods with

My Vision Of My Utopia
The Perfection Of My Utopia
When I envisioned a Utopian planet, Earth was the perfect example. It had water, land, and the perfect atmosphere. Unfortunately, it didn't have the creatures I envisioned. They were bipedal, ugly things. Orifice–like faces, spindly arms and legs, and a odd sort of communication. That is why I needed to get rid of them to perfect my utopia. I started subtly. Using the shadows, I crept into their box–like dwellings, going through the vents and open windows. But as soon as they noticed me, I realized how much of a fuss they made. Screaming, yelling, hitting the walls, the "humans" attacked me. Oh, how futile their pathetic attempts were. I ripped them apart and gouged out their life, and it took little, to no effort at all. But I soon realized Get

In my perfect and beautiful utopia everyone remained still as I stroll down the lane of houses and meadows. I greeted everyone and not a single person did not recognize my presence. It was as if this were a lucid dream, no one came to criticise my thoughts, my scent and my appearance. There was no such word that existed in my utopia. Only monsters and beasts spoke of venom. After reaching the end of the lane, my dearest of friends settled beneath the shade of his home as he usually does for most days.

Midnight passed and the morning came in. I went through my regular routine, greeting everyone as they did the same. Though I didn't visit my dear friend today. I went around town rounding everyone up to the middle of the town. Everyone was inquisitive as they murmured the reasoning to disrupt their constant routine. I collected my thoughts, still anxious to speak in front of a vast crowd. I cleared my throat and stepped up on a stool to grasp everyone's attention. Everyone quieted down into murmurs until I could hear my own thoughts. "I brought you all here for a special announcement," the murmurs started up again and a long pause follows. I was just as excited as the rest of them as I brought her up and introduced her with my trying confident voice, "We all have a new neighbor in our little town of ours, I saved her from the dark world." After I mentioned the dark world, the silence filled with tension , it was thick enough to cut with a knife. The stool started to feel like I was standing on the edge of a cliff.

A Utopia should be a place where everyone feels safe, a place where there is no hatred, no crime , no discouragement, disapproval, or judgement. Everyone should be equal.

No one would be able to control or make decisions for anyone else, and because there is no government, there is also no laws. If we live in a place where everyone is happy and no one is poor or suffering, there would be no violence, no stealing, no vandalizing or anything caused by hatred, which are almost all the laws we have today. We would have no laws because they wouldn't be needed. In my Utopia, everything is powered by green energy (mostly wind turbines and solar panels), from the lights in your house, to factories where everything is made. Even transportation is powered by green energy, so if you don't want to walk or bike and you need to use a car/bus/taxi/airplane, it would be electric.

Creating Haven When assigned this webquest on creating the perfect Utopian Society, my first thoughts were immediately drawn to how difficult this would be with a group of four other students all with different views of what our perfect Utopia would consist of. Fortunately, I was utterly wrong. My group worked very well together and actually had quite a few similar views, we quickly agreed to name it Haven and only debated small issues. The biggest challenge was deciding what kind of government would work best and how to finance it. Through all the challenges it was interesting to see how much of our perfect government shadowed the United States. That alone really opened my eyes and I believe Future classes should also complete this project. I had not anticipated how difficult it would be to decide what type of government is best for everyone in the society, how to compose it, and how to finance everything. It was definitely the most challenging part to me. None of us had knowledge of how the government and taxes work or how the founding fathers set it up, other than the basic knowledge we learned in History, so we had to look at the United States government and pick what we like and what we would like the change. As a group we really had to decide what was best for everyone's part. Mine...show more content...

In my utopia each town of people would choose two to three people to meet with other groups of two to three from other towns every few months. They would discuss all the important things going on in their town like amount of food, health issues, and new laws. These groups would then decide if a town needs medicine and food the other towns would give them those items so they can continue to prosper.

Utopia
Utopias are generally said to be societies in which the political, social and economic troubles hampering its inhabitants has been done away with. Instead the state is there to serve the people and ensure the peacefulness and happiness of everyone. The word utopia, which means "no place" in Greek, was first used to mean a perfect society in 1516 in the publication of Saint Thomas More's story "Utopia". The story depicted life as it was with its people and social institutions on an imaginary island. More's Utopia gained critical acclaim and a wide audience. The term was subsequently used by all prominent social thinkers and visionaries to define other concepts of this kind....show more content... Most comes by way of literature with stories such as a way to expose modern societies social ills.
Some prominent examples of this type of writing include George Orwell's 1984 and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World". The places mentioned in those stories were all imaginary. Such a place does not exist in the world as we know it today. Therefore the word imaginary comes into play. I have heard of places that have experimented with the concept of a utopian environment but none have truly succeeded. One example is the community in Chicago which George Pullman attempted to control. He attempted to create a community in which every person was taken care for, all had adequate housing, medical attention and so forth. In return everyone would work for Pullman's company. The better he provided for his workers, the better he expected their attitude towards working for him would be. Not everything turned out as planned though. A panic in 1893 lead to Pullman lowering the employees wages, he did not however lower the employees rent and other charges in the company town. This lead to what was called the Pullman strike. The anticipated utopia had turned into a dystopia. (A dystopia would be the exact opposite of a utopia.) Federal troops arrived on July 4th to try to control the unrest. Rioting broke out and several strikers were killed. It wasn't until July 10th that the Get

Sir Thomas More
In the year 1516, Sir Thomas More was the first to use the word in his book, Utopia'. He came up with this word coming from 'ou' meaning 'not' and 'topos' meaning 'place', in Greek. The word started as a pun. Sir Thomas More did not really believe that perfection could ever be reached in the world, so he made utopia simply mean, "not a place". As life went on, however, we looked for the word for a perfect world. The world in which all our problems are solved and people are at peace. It seems strange to use the word 'utopia', as it implies we will never reach this goal, but history proves the human race is hopeful. Somehow we make it through all these insurmountable odds and seem to prosper, while simultaneously ruining our lives. In my utopia,...show more content...
You aren't entitled to money but otherwise, have to earn it. People are never discriminated against and the people have no negative biases towards a group of individuals. This lets everyone have equal opportunities, but not towards the same skill. Everyone's special talent is highlighted here. With everyone's learning geared to their specific needs, theeducation system is remarkably improved. There are no homeless people or starving people. This undeniably reduces crime rates. Of course, there are a few blemishes that arise in a world like this. Improvements can always be made to anything. Even if, somehow, the world decides to listen to a 15–year–old girl and change the planet, there will be even more obstacles. Sir Thomas More did not mean for a utopia to ever be reached. When the world can always be improved upon, nothing can be labeled as perfect. This need to improve is what, I believe, brings on innovation and beauty. So while utopia is, "no place", it can be something we strive for, creating a wonderful life, but not a perfect

The community is only as strong as its weakest link. For society to progress everyone must work together.

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...show more content...
The more helpful one is to society the more resources that person deserves. Free time is not very common, for people are constantly working to better their life and make themselves more important to society. 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.
People of today love to compete. The best athletes and smartest intellects love to show everyone that they are superior to everyone else in their field. On the average people only focus on either becoming either a better athlete or a better scholar. Very rarely does one see a well rounded person. People tend to concentrate on improving

My Utopian
The Utopian land is divided into two main terrains: farmland and cities. The farmlands, of course, are where most of the country's resources are produced. The services of the economy, smithing, carpentry, clothmaking, etc., are mainly produced in the cities. Iron is the only resource which must be imported abundantly. All of the resources, except iron, that the nation requires, it produces on its own.
The Utopians live a very simple lifestyle. They work, and in their spare time play games, read, and socialize. Other forms of entertainment, such as gambling and hunting are looked down upon. They only eat what is necessary, and their houses are built simply and furnished only with what is necessary. Thus, their consumption is very low....show more content... Theses are exported for the iron that they need, and gold and silver after that.
However, gold and silver play a very different role inUtopia. There is no monetary system; all of the people are provided with what they need. Instead of working to get money with which they can choose what they want, their work is repaid with everything they need. What each person needs is decided by them alone, and there is no risk of anyone taking more than they need. Why would anyone take more than they need when they will always be provided for? There is no reason to store up for the future, and there is nothing to do with extra, unnecessary products.
The gold and silver then is used for purchasing mercenaries for use in war and for paying citizens of other nations to turn against their country in war. Since gold is of no use to the people of Utopia, it is stored as chamber pots, and cheap jewelry worn only by the bondman, the lowest of Utopian people. When a time comes that requires the use of gold, the Utopians gladly give it up, for to them it is just a toilet. The Utopian government also uses its gold to lend to other nations in need. They are very liberal with their loans, and do not always ask for them to be repaid. Their reasoning is that they have no use for the gold, for they have a surplus of that as well, and the other nation that is in debt has very good use for it.

Humans have grasped at the concept of "Utopia" for millennia. In his editorial for the September 1983 issue of Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, editor Isaac Asimov provided a concise history of utopian literature. According to Asimov, the history of utopian literature began with religious tales of past golden ages or future paradises. (Asimov gives the examples of the Genesis story of creation and expulsion from the Garden of Eden as an example of the first and the eleventh chapter of Isaiah, which contains the famous line "the lion shall lay down with the calf ," as an example of the second.) Utopian literature was first presented in a more scientifically designed (as opposed to Edenic or messianic) form by Plato, with The...show more content...
Asimov also describes a more modern offshoot of the Utopian genre, the dystopian novel. Asimov claims that this method of "attacking societies in a more direct fashion," as he puts it, arose because the more indirect Utopian satiric novels are, "by their very nature, dreadfully dull." (Although this seems to be a position which could be argued against, Asimov offers no evidence to support it.) Asimov claims that dystopian novels are "intrinsically more interesting than Utopias," and, hence, better tools for attacking evils in a particular society. (Asimov 7–8)
The prefix "dys–" means "abnormal" or "defective" in Greek. (Asimov 8) So, the dystopian horror is that something designated as "bad" by a particular author may find its ultimate expression in a particular society. In modern novels, this usually, in some way, involves the use of science or technology as contributing to this ultimate "evil." (Asimov 9)
To examine the possibility of an actual Utopian society existing, then, one must also examine the possibility of the existence of an actual dystopian society. If Utopia is to be achieved, dystopia must, of necessity, be avoided. The possibilities of dystopia, in their many various forms, have been examined by many highly talented authors and intelligent thinkers.
