A Utopian world is a world that would be “perfect” as people would like to say. Many have dreamed of this, a place with no problems. To me a perfect world with no problems would become boring, nothing in your life to keep it interesting. Sometimes problems in your life can end up being good things that change your life for the better. Let’s say you were just about to take a very important test, you have been studying for weeks, but you are very anxious that you might get a bad mark, something that wouldn’t happen in a perfect world. After the test though, you discover you did amazingly well with the best marks in the class. The feeling of nervousness before the test made your good grades even more rewarding. Without the fear you felt before your test, getting a good grade (which you would get automatically) would not be rewarding. Even though things might affect you negatively at first, in the long run they might lead to amazing accomplishments that you wouldn’t have experienced otherwise.

The truth is having a perfect life would become so boring that you wouldn’t be able to achieve anything significant and special. To do that you would need to put in hard work which isn’t exactly a perfect life style. My ideal society would be one in which everyone would have access to an ideal life, but they would still have to work hard to achieve it, making it accessible to everyone, but not guaranteed.

My ideal society would include equality and happiness for everyone, no one would be homeless or starve around the world it would be completely different from the world we live in now. There would be jobs for everyone, also everyone would be paid equal wages but only if they graduate, University and colleges would be very affordable for people, everyone would have 3 chances in life and if they do something stupid that could usually get them arrested it would just erase 1 of there chances, once all 3 chances are gone then they would be sent to jail. There would be no plastic in the world and everything would be made naturally from resources from nature. Another big factor would be that all drugs, alcohol, and all guns would be band so that there are no shootings and no deaths from drug overdoses. People would also be allowed to travel anywhere around the world without any form of ID specifically a passport, plane tickets would be at a very low cost and everything would be run by electricity so that there would be no gasoline and only electric cars. I believe that if my ideal society would be true then life would be much easier for everyone and no one would suffer again.

The perfect society would be made up of equal pay. If an individual passes a certain limit of money, for example $1000000 in assets, the rest is donated to someone else. Doing this is so everyone can have the necessities for life like food, water, shelter and education. Just so people don’t find loopholes in this, everyone must graduate with a high school diploma and must have a degree. No brands that overprice things because of the price of the car. Let’s say this society is built after WW2 so all guns are illegal including drugs. Everyone has rights and can do anything, if society wants something governments will do the best, they can to make it work. Everything is powered by electricity. Human population will be kept at 2 children per family to lower overpopulation around the world, so supplies don’t run out. Things like cashiers and driving will be controlled by robots so that humans can find other jobs that aren’t so useless like a doctor, engineer, fireman and more. Society must be nicer to each other and help each other out so everyday people must do good deeds to other humans, this will bring up the morality of the society. 

The definition of a utopia is “an imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect“. A utopia is not known to ever exist, but many people have tried to create them in movies and tv shows. If I had to create my ideal utopia the main idea would be peace. To make everything “perfect” I believe you would need peace and to have that everyone would need to be equals. Within that, we need no knowledge of good and evil. Yes, people may flaws but not pointing out flaws or putting peoples in groups make society better as a whole. Having a diverse world with no judgment, stigmatism or inequality would ideally bring peace.

Humans have an idea of mortality, that can have a big strain on our minds and soles. In my ideal utopia humans could be at peace with their mortality. Having freedom is very important, not having violence and having rules is important, but having freedom on who you are and what you do is ideal. One of the ideas that would make my utopia perfect is having money. Everyone having money, no poor people or homeless, and having equal funds. The last idea I have for my ideal utopia is to have a perfect ecosystem with no climate change or world pollution.

I believe one day maybe in another universe a utopia could exist. I don’t know when or how long it will take the world to change its whole way of thinking.  I hope someday further in the future that my children could experience the peace of a utopia, and have the freedom that they deserve. I hope I can experience that kind of freedom someday. In till that day comes we have television and movies. I don’t know when that day will come but I sure hope it’s soon.

Utopia, an ideal world. Typically defined to a “perfect” society where social problems are unable to occur. But with no problems, nor any diversity, life would be boring. But a utopia is meant to be perfect, but boredom isn’t enjoyable, so maybe that stereotype of a problemless world isn’t a complete utopia.

In my personal opinion, a utopia would be a world with minimal problems. Problems that don’t have major negative effects, but rather small arguments between peers. No war or major violence, but a peaceful protest helps further develop a society. No crime, except for your classmate stealing your pencil in the 1st grade. No racism, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, ableism, and any other topic similar to those would be tolerated. A society where everyone is the same and being expected to be perfect is the recipe for a mundane society. Rather, a life where worldwide problems are reduced down to a negligible scale, and people’s personalities are uniquely theirs is far more engaging; far more utopian. In this world, people’s personalities would not be altered, people would not be expected to be perfect, but rather themselves.

I believe a utopia is a world where people are able to live in harmony with each other in a healthy environment, both socially and physically.

Nyah Sharratt – 12/16

For me a utopia is a place where everything is perfect. You have no worries, no preoccupations. In my opinion I wouldn’t like to live in a utopia because I wouldn’t appreciate things. But My ideal society is no hunger. I thinks hunger is one of the main factors that people suffer around the world. I would also love that there was no illness. People being emphatic, I think it would be great because if you put yourself in the shoes of others you can understand the worries of others.

Money. Money is one of the biggest things why people think they are superior of others so I think it would be perfect that everybody has the same social status. But again I would love to live in a place like this but with no worries but then I wouldn’t learn anything about life. I wouldn’t appreciate the good things that happens to me. I would be grateful.

          My image of an ideal society, or my personal utopia, is quite different than many. However, I will go over the obvious details beforehand. Poverty, starvation, and discrimination do not plague this society as it does ours.  My ideal society has many cultures, and everyone is free to practice whatever they choose. There are no “real” issues thar we see in our society today, but there are things that need solving or further discovery, and some superficial issues. Instead of money, things are earned and traded in exchange for favors or other items. I like to think of it as this, you can live however you would like to, if your morals stay intact, and you remain at least a little modest, humble, charitable, compassionate, etc.  

       Now, I should get on to the physicality of this world. I’d like to think of the composition of this world to be small, but still diverse. Kind of like a world in literature, for example, the world in Howl’s Moving Castle by Dianna Wynne Jones. The world is vast, but you are able to travel the world by foot, and pass through many different geographical regions. I would enjoy having a lot of biodiversity and temperatures in my utopia. My utopia is not very specific, however, I would rather the use of technology be downsized (but not eliminated), and people look to more physical means of research and entertainment, and socialization.  

When someone thinks of the word utopia thoughts of a perfect society usually fill their minds. However there are hardly any things that could be considered “perfect” because though something may seem perfect in the moment they can easily become just an average thing when you look at it more closely or when you have adjusted to it. Once you reach a perfect place, then eventually no mater how “perfect” it had been, you will just adjust to that and seek something even more perfect. And does that thing really exist? Sure there are things that seem amazing and awe worthy but is there really something that will always stay as perfect as when you first see it?

A utopia in my visions would be a place where everyone is treated as equals no matter race, sexuality or anything. A place that lets you feel free and like life is at its highest. A place where there are no wars. These are what my utopia would be because I could not tire of such things, they wouldn’t become less perfect. A utopia to me is a place where no matter what the material like things are like the  things like rights, peace and kindness still remain as perfect as they can be.

Utopia. What is utopia? Some say life is without laws, without rules. But these rules are trying to make the perfect utopia for us. Maybe life without criminality? Yes, that would be perfect. I could go outside without fear of being stabbed or kidnapped or just feel uncomfortable. That is the first thing that I consider the utopia life. My parents read the news daily and know everything that happens. Once I left for not even a week with my friend to the opposite side of the republic and the first thing I see on news is that someone stabbed a human being right next to my house. What is someone from my family? My sister? My cousin? Fortunately not, but the panic I felt was awful.

That leads me to the second thing I consider a utopian life. It would be perfect to have a guarantee in this life. Feeling that you somewhat know what will happen. It’s like watching a series where you already know what will happen in the end but watch the whole five seasons because it is fun. No Dahmetrs, no racist dictators, no Russian presidents. No people randomly change the world in its worst possible way. I know the wars and stuff helped in the economy, but how much did it actually? We made a climate change just to be lazy for a few years. But I’m getting too far into the dystopia one. it is important to involve, but we need to be closer to nature where we were millions of years ago. It would be beautiful to have more trees in cities, more grass and parks. That would help to make the air better and improve people’s moods.

Perfection is subjective, even when it comes to societies. Someone’s definition of a “utopia” could be completely different than another person’s definition, and every so-called “perfection” has its own unique flaws. For instance, a world without disease and death would be over-populated, and a world without identity, although less chaotic, would be bleak and monotonous. So, in my ideal utopia, there would be a balance. A yin-yang if you will. There would be death and disease, but there would be no hunger. There would be identity, but there would be no marginalization. There would be injuries and earthquakes and religion, but there would also be a cure for cancer, no guns, and cheap, eco-friendly energy generators with absolutely zero negative effects.  There would be natural disasters, but there would be no poverty and there would be global universal healthcare and education. There would be dangerous (but fun) activities like skateboarding and rock-climbing, but there would be no alcohol or tobacco, and everyone would be treated equally around the world by employers, the police, the Supreme Court, and everyone else. Finding a balance of what negative things about our society leads to independent and communal growth and which negative things just makes everything worse is essential to building a perfect utopia, in my opinion.

To begin with, a “utopia” is an ideal plan or system of rule and government in which there is a perfect, just and equal society, where everything flows and takes place without conflict and in harmony.
Utopia or a perfect society to me would not be much different from the general idea on this subject. Almost everyone is looking for a world of equality, where there is nothing to fear, a safe, fair, appetizing and healthy place. My utopia will certainly have to fulfill at least 4 of the 6 clear objectives I just named. It is very important for a society that everything goes smoothly and there are no conflicts or at least as few as possible. Therefore in my society the issue of trials and corrupt affairs, will be very strict. There can not be any criminal on the loose, however so that there would be no problem the jail would not be inside the city, just in case. In this way the prisoners are not only more isolated, but they will not have the possibility of worsening their sentences, but so that everything goes well with the relatives and people who want to visit them, they will have no problem to do so, the only difference is that the prison would be outside the city, not too far from human civilization.
The justice system would be the only strict thing, everything else has to flow perfectly and without any problem, for that the majority vote would be very important in the society of my utopia.

I believe that an ideal society is based on equality, if we all treated each other with both respect and kindness the worlds biggest issues wouldn’t be as immense. We live in a world today with wars, racism, homophobia, bullying etc. where all of these things can be avoided simply by respecting the people in our everyday lives. We also have global problems with climate change that is causing global warming and killing our ecosystem. This is caused by our everyday usage and consumption of greenhouse gas emissions; its leading contributions are coal and oil burning. We also have a massive plastic pollution problem that has gathered in our ecosystem which is killing our wildlife and planet. Another problem that we have today that if fixed could contribute to an ideal society is poverty. Poverty contributes to many diverse social, political and economical problems. Many people on social media have helped a lot by giving materials and nutrients to second and third world countries who aren’t as fortunate to have clean water, fresh food, and even a stable home. With changing our ways of how we live, the production process of things we need, how we act on others by treating them how we want to be treated, we could have what is considered to be an ideal society.

I think that a true utopia cannot exist simply because everyone has different ideas about what is right. Anyways, I think that the ideal society would have a universal basic income that is completely livable off of. This would ensure that no one starves or loses their home. This would not be the only way to get money though, education should also be free which would allow anyone in the world to get a better paying job if they choose or to simply pursue a hobby that they really enjoy. A utopia would also have no prejudices based on the many things that people are, such as race, gender, sexuality, ect. Another thing that a utopia would have would be logical, unbiased leadership. I do not know how this could be accomplished but if a utopia were to exist then that would be a major part of it. Possibly you could have a council of elected people from around the world. A utopia would have universal healthcare, free education, and free food and water to live off of. This would obviously not be the only sustenance that one could get, but you would have to spend money on food that you prefer. That is the basic outline of what I think a utopia should be.

A utopia is an imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect. However, this is not my idea of a utopia because if everything and every time in your life is perfect you won’t appreciate anything. Nothing in your life will have value. In our life’s we have moments that vary from being bad to good to even perfect. Without the bad moments we won’t be able to appreciate the good or the perfect ones.

You may be wondering, what is MY utopia. Well, my utopia is my life. I understand and acknowledge the fact that there are people who are way less fortunate than me, and I wish that they could have their utopia but I am living my Utopia. I had won the ultimate lottery when I was born, I have the most supportive parents and an amazing little sister. I was born in Hong Kong and when I was born I Immediately had so many people who loved me. I grew up with a bigger support system than any regular kid would have, I had my friends, my parent’s friends who treated me like I was their daughter and I had Rugby. I was able to have gone to a school where I had made so many friends and where the facilities and teachers were amazing.

My dad had formerly been a captain for one of the biggest airlines in the world at the time, Cathay Pacific. With this came numerous benefits such as; my family and I were able to travel to many countries, I was able to experience many different cultures and I was able to live in beautiful homes among beautiful people. I am so fortunate to have lived through Hong Kong’s greatest years.

A utopia is an imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect. I love everything about my life in Canada. I am getting an amazing education, my rugby career is taking off and I have an amazing friend group. But the imperfections in my life make it utopic. Best of all its not imaginary. It’s my life.

Having the perfect utopia could have many different outcomes, humans aren’t perfect, and there are many things that we could do to improve. A big thing that is changing the world, not in a good way, is global warming. Humans were the start of it, and continue to make it worse, and if humans started to take stronger actions, then maybe we wouldn’t have to be in the serious position we are in today. So, I think this is a big part of my life, and something I would love to be reassured by, is that we have a long time on this earth. But instead, I am here worrying if I am going to make it to an old age, and have a long healthy life. Another thing that always has me worry is war. I wish that the war countries of this world could just have some sense of sympathy towards human beings and families that have to be brought into war not having a choice, and the end resulting into injury or death. Having war kills thousands if not millions of people, and destroys cities and countries. I don’t see the point to it, and I think whatever country you are born into, you have to keep, and you don’t need anymore. People are just selfish so they decide to bomb a country out of no where just because they just want the power.

Everyone in this world will come across either racism or sexism sometime in their life. It is so simple to solve, and thats just to except anyone and everyone, no matter their race, colour of their skin, sexuality, or gender. But no, humans make it difficult and don’t like people for some unreal reason just because of their personal opinion. People get bullied, judged, and even sometimes killed, just because of the way they look. It just shows how unfair, awful, and harmful humans are.

These two topics are the biggest thing I would see in a perfect utopia, and how different the world would really be if humans weren’t brought up they way that they did.

My ideal society would be full of happiness and equality so everyone including myself can enjoy life to the fullest. My utopia would be very different than today’s world. People would be provided welfare and safety by the government mannered peacefully. Everyone is treated with equality and individuality is respected. The earth is sustainable meaning every product or structure is made while conserving the earths natural resources. There is no fear of crime or threat of war. Everyone is secure economically so they can pursue the career of their choosing and passion. For example, this way I could play basketball all day and move up to become a professional without having to worry about financial difficulties and risks. The government is run as a democracy, so the people have a voice. There are cures and vaccines to every sickness and disease. The climate is reversed by sustainability. Drugs never are created to prevent overdose and sickness. Everyone has a mental health support system available to them. Animals are not held in captivity unless domestic and need support from human. This would be the basis of my ideal society so that everyone can prosper in life including the environment, people, and animals

Throughout history, humans have mused over the idea of a perfect society, one without struggle, without pain, without sadness and without grief. Innumerous artists have pursued such fantasies in the world of literature, mostly through the use of stories. A prime example comes from one of the most well-known books in all of history: The Holy Bible. There, we are told about the Garden of Eden, a beautiful garden in which there was no pain or evil. It is perhaps the most famous portrayal of a utopia, but far from the only one. Authors all around the world have written about utopias, and their counterparts, dystopias. One theme is consistent among these stories, the absence of struggle.

I disagree with these views of a utopia. In my experience handling human beings, I do not believe we can truly thrive without struggle. Instead of going into my reasons for this, I will say what I believe would be an ideal society. A world in which lies are inexistent, where no one can hide secrets or emotions. I believe a society in which everyone can completely understand each other without the need for in-depth conversation to be a true utopia. To further explain this, I will supply an example: Imagine a society in which everyone can completely read each other’s minds. While people will still have struggles, human beings are no longer the cause of them. In this world, everyone immediately knows what others think and feel. Their sadness is your sadness. Their joy is your joy. If you see someone in the street is suffering, you are suffering. No longer would humans fight, as both people would lose regardless of the result. In search of happiness, people would tend to one another’s needs until everyone was completely satisfied. With people still having challenges to help them grow, society would unite in a single effort to bring joy to everyone around us. This is what I believe to be a true utopia.

Utopia is an imaginary place where everything is perfect. It is ideal perfection in many themes such as laws, government, wealth, power and social conditions. Nothing bad happens, there is no sadness, depression, everything is just perfect, everyone lives in perfect conditions.

Achieving a utopian society is impossible, for this to happen we humans have to be perfect, so how can we create a perfect society with imperfect citizens. Utopia is describe as a “paradise”, where everything works and everyone is happy. For me to have a perfect society it has to have ups and downs, it can’t be just that easy to have everything you want. Everything that happens is for a reason, every action has a reaction, and from this you decided if you learn something from it or just let it pass. For a person to be happy has to go through many things that have change them and made them into who they are now, happy and perfect or sad and miserable. What makes utopia an ideal society is because the citizens have no fear of the outside world. Also religion, utopians are free of believing what they want, there is no official state religion, but this brings many sects. Some Utopians believe that “The soul is immortal and that there exists an afterlife in which the deeds of life are rewarded or punished.”

After reading several dystopian novels such as the Hunger Games Series, George Orwell’s 1984, and the first novel of the Divergent series, I have a decent idea of what an ideal Utopian could look like.

The first thing I have noticed in these dystopian novels is that they all include an authoritarian government which has a large influence over people lives. Take the Hunger Games series for example, which is based in a post-apocalyptic nation called Panem which is ruled by a government which has a massive influence on its citizen’s lives, affecting what they they are allowed to say in public. This is also seen in George Orwell’s 1984 where the head of state known as “Big Brother” has several cameras and drones monitoring people’s daily lives in accordance with his established “Thought Police.”

Secondly, these novels include a protagonist which has to deal with the unfair treatment in the dystopian society they live in. The Hunger Games does a decent job at doing this where the protagonist, Katniss Everdeen lives in the poorest district in all of her country with a struggling family and without a father to take care of both her and her sister. Katniss is left in a rough spot in the series where she has to take up the role of being the main provider for her mother and her sister who are too weak and fragile in their current state of malnourishment.

So in conclusion, a utopian society would strive for a thriving society where its  citizens wouldn’t have to face these issues brought up by the many dystopian stories which have seen a sudden increase in popularity over the years. I believe that by doing this, the authors are trying to communicate the worst-case scenario which could erupt if a controlling government like the ones in their stories would come into power. Unfortunately, several countries in the world have to bear with this nightmarish ideology brought up by their governments where they are severely limited to even think for themselves. This is where I feel like utopian stories can come into place, where they can set a good example of how a society could function without any or very few drawbacks. And as time goes on, we can only hope that situations like these can be solved in the near future as they are being brought to the attention of the public.

While living in the perfect society will probably never happen, it is still a cool idea to think what it would be like to live in one. My life is centered around sports, and more specifically, golf. So, my perfect world would be a place where the sun shines almost all year around, the weather doesn’t get to cold or to hot, and I have access to any golf course in the world. The golf courses would be in pristine condition all year long. I would also never have to work. My job would be to just play golf with friends and family until the day I die, which would be alright with me.

Outside of golf would also be dreamlike. Everybody would be treated equally and receive the same amount of respect. Poverty, war, and hunger would all be stopped. People would also have more freedom. Travel by plane, boat, train, etc. would all be free, and it would be encouraged. Food would be a lot cheaper everywhere you go. People would receive major pay bonuses so they can afford anything they wanted and so they can provide for their children . Oh, and the Vancouver Canucks would win a Stanley Cup.

Many writers have made their depictions and versions of how a utopian society would be and also how a dystopian society would be. For me a utopian society or wolrd would be one where where there are no economic boundaries between people and where everyone is more equal and not seperated by economic boundaries but where people have also understood that some groups just cant fit into society. Additionally we have developed technologies so advanced that we have been able to make some magnificent discoveries but also we have made some horrifying discoveries. In this society we understand that even though wars dont bring anything good and that they just cause destruction we also undertsand that it is thanks to wars that we developed certain technologies and that warafare has existed since the dawn fo man as well as crime and so many other things that are usually bad. Additionally we have understood the threat of nuclear use and we have banned the nuclear wepaons with a new converntion. Altough, governments have kept small amounts of nuclear weapons just in case they are necessary in the future. The truth is we cant reach a utopian society in this world because of all the barriers we have with all the segregation and also the fact that we are tolerating certain things that are not natural and that shouldnt even exist.

My ideal Utopia would be that there isn’t much law, but people did not have bad intentions either. If everyone could just be nice to each other then not much would have to change in order for things to become very good around the world. Along with greed, people need to stop being so greedy. In this Utopia, Money is not a super big deal. people would just help each other get things done and support one another. of course their would still need to be some form of currency otherwise people would get bored of being the same as everyone else. This Utopia is basically like modern society but people aren’t a bunch of greedy slobs and slackers. Technology would be very advanced as well, so that people can go explore things that havent been explored. School is not mandatory but is very highly recommended and free. Nobody is in poverty or starving in the streets, everything is clean and tidy and we found the cure to cancer. We can also now live on mars and have conquered the sun. We are basically not even human at this point, we took over the sun and now control the galaxy.

A utopia, in the most inclusive definition, is where everything is perfectly positioned and is perfectly running without any struggles or conflicts. However, the following concept of a “perfect society” remains to be fiction and does not exist. Our current society tends to go back and forth from an ideal society to sometimes a malfunctioning one. A utopia would be a place where society remains to be “perfect” and never changes from such a position. It is where everything is running as it should be, with no flaws or a single negative side. As the concept of Utopia is “perfect”, it is shown to people that it cannot be reached regardless of the effort that may be put in to change society. As society gets better and better over time, the standards for an ideal “Utopia” would become higher, and thus is never achievable. Viewing from the following aspect gives me the idea that a Utopia is not a set concept, but rather an evolving goal. Many countries and societies around the world are making their attempt toward an ideal society, however, has never reached the modern standards and understanding of a perfect world – Utopia. Utopias are never achievable and that is what makes them an imaginary concept. However, it is interesting to investigate and learn more about the following concept of a flawless society.
