UTOPIA


Utopia and dystopia
Paradise and kayos

·         This is from google website: A utopia (/juːˈtpiə/) is a community or society possessing highly desirable or perfect qualities. The word was coined in Greek by Sir Thomas More for his 1516 book Utopia, describing a fictional island society in the Atlantic Ocean. The term has been used to describe both intentional communities that attempt to create an ideal society, and fictional societies portrayed in literature. It has spawned other concepts, most prominently dystopia

People with perfect qualities are hard to come by. Everyone isn’t perfect. The word perfect is hard to live up to, does everything in a utopia have to be perfect. Do you split everything in the world to good things and bad things? Also bad unfortunately is good to others.
So how would humanity overcome this situation? They say that to get to a utopia it takes time, and maybe over time people will change. You just have to look at history to see that it is capable of doing, like for example religion, science and medicine. So in a utopia people will have to agree with everything if they don’t it will course conflict.
utopian proposal is Plato's Republic.[1] Part conversation, part fictional depiction.
But I think that we are trying to get to a utopia in reality which will take a heck of a long time to accomplish. But slowly we may get there if people join together and put their differences aside which may never happen in this day and age. People are still far too stubborn to change that much.
Power
Would a utopia be run by the people or by leaders? and this is where control comes in to play. and with control comes struggle and with struggle comes force. So what happens to you if you don’t agree with the utopia which everyone else is trying to build would you get kicked out or would you be killed? Being killed is possible in the extreme case, of making a utopia work. So do you live in this utopia to survive. in that case it’s not your utopia but its better the living in a dystopia, there isn’t anything else because  like I said its only good and bad things in the world. Unless the utopia is an island.
