People say nothing is perfect for a reason. This isn’t meant to be a perfect world, in fact everything is imperfect in some type of way.
The reason they can't exist is because people try to recreate it but it's not possible to make something perfect like many have tried. The article states “They had very good success, for it made all hands very industrious, so as much more corn was planted than otherwise would have been. The women now went willingly into the field, and took their little ones with them to set corn. ... By this time harvest was come, and instead of famine, now God gave them plenty, and the faces of things were changed, to the rejoicing of the hearts of many.”This is supporting my text because its saying how one utopian society was successful, many tried after that and failed, just because one could exist from then doesn't mean they could make something perfect once again.

But all had to make impossible sacrifices in the service of their ideals. ”When they tried incorporating their ideas they had to sacrifice many things causing it not to be what they wanted to therefore it's not perfect according to how they wanted it planed out.
” Now, anyone who has raised children knows what a resource drain they can be, and would not be surprised that communities without offspring could get ahead financially. Nevertheless, the celibate life had only so much appeal, and these sects eventually died off. ”
This means they attempted it and all was well eventually people will catch up and grow bigger than the better / Utopian society causing it to die out not being successful.
Some people have a problem with way Utopias work causing them to either force down/away the society or the society will eventually be even with the day they're in meaning that there isn't a point of the society causing them to die
The authors therefor saw the ‘utopian’ societies to be a trap for weak minded publics, and that once in place, such systems would be able to perpetuate indefinitely due to the efficiency at which they protect and propagate themselves. Through fear, diversion and sedation the utopia can maintain a strong grip on the people it encompasses before anyone realizes the sacrifices made. The popularity of these books does rule out the possibility of such a society coming into existence in the future, however. The state of people is not about to change, and their ignorance will continue regardless of the harshness of the wake up calls issued.
...s. But this society was in no way more just then the Utopian society, although this society was more viable. They had what it took to last, to grow and to flourish.
In Utopia the citizens rely on each other because although thy all have the same work load they do not all grow corn well, some may grow carrots better than others. This benefits everyone because they can do what they do best, “many who have a natural bent for agricultural ...
George Ripley endeavored to create one of the first utopian societies in West Roxberry, Massachusetts. The community was called Brook Farm, and was established in 1841. Everyone in the community shared labor and leisure time equally. Ripley believed that leisure was the most important step to understanding yourself. The problem with Brook Farm was that the residents ended up believing in a form of communism, despite its objective of being a community where the individual would be able to become ‘whole’. A fire late in 1847 caused the community to disband and separate. Brook Farm is important because not only was it one of the first utopian society experiments in the 1800’s, but it proved that people were confident about trying new things. Critics of Brook Farm said that the point of the community was nothing more than the desire to become better than other people. This demonstrates that (even though it failed) Brooke Farm was created solely for the purpose of bettering the way in which people lived.
...e everything is perfect, yet the literal meaning for utopia is “nowhere”. No where will this idea ever be achieved, hence why I’m here reading it in a book. In order for this idea of a utopian society to work, individuality and free will must be stripped away. Huxley’s main goal through out this novel is to portray his views on todays society while manipulating humans and using technology to recreate humans as puppets rather than letting it all occur naturally. Nearly every aspect in this society is managed through technology and science along with plenty dosages of the drug soma. Huxley makes it a point to emphasize that instead of getting hooked on all the advancements of technology we need to focus on all the problems occurring through out the world. Its time to stop letting technology control us and time for us to start learning how to control our technology.
Utopia literally means not (u-) a place (-topia), so regardless of the many things that make it seem like one, there is no such thing as a utopia. The community at The Giver proves that. As you can see, this society that Jonas lives in is not as perfect as you may have thought it was. All of us, Jonas included, looked over the bad parts and immediately worshipped the good, leading our minds to conclude that there is nothing wrong with the way they live. But, as you have read, there are some major problems that this society has amassed.
In today’s modern society it is known for people to be a little too concerned with the way people perceive them. What do you think when a person says they want to be perfect, do you think appearance, money, knowledge, or maybe even social status? The pursuit of perfection should not be a standard of modern society due to the effects it has on one’s health and social life.
This constitution made by the people, for the people, declares the necessary laws required to maintain a perfect utopian society. Unlike our previous society, there will be many opportunities to help our society thrive. Everyone will have rights that were not present in previous societies. Unlike other civilizations and empires, the goal of this utopia is not to create a era of peace and advancement. The goal of this Utopia is to keep peace, prosperity, enlightenment, and a “Renaissance” going on forever.
Our fascination with utopias stems from our attraction to and pursuit of progress within our own society. We study utopias with the hope that our society will someday evolve into one. But what often goes unnoticed is that if our society improves enough to become utopian, it won't be able to improve any longer. Hence, it will be rigid and unchanging, the complete opposite of what it was as it evolved to its elevated state. This is an awful truth for us because we place value and virtue in the ideas of desire and progress. Our reason tells us: once in an ideal land, desire cannot simply cease to be, because desire is part of our human nature. And our reason is right. An ideal society should accentuate our human nature, not suppress it. As we desire a perfect society we know that a perfect could not exist without our desire. And as long as we desire, we hope for progress. The idea that an utopia wouldn't allow such progress to occur is enough to make us stop believing in utop...
Each person has their own vision of utopia. Utopia means an ideal state, a paradise, a land of enchantment. It has been a central part of the history of ideas in Western Civilization. Philosophers and writers continue to imagine and conceive plans for an ideal state even today. They use models of ideal government to express their ideas on contemporary issues and political conditions. Man has never of comparing the real and ideal, actuality and dream, and the stark facts of human condition and hypothetical versions of optimum life and government.
A utopia does not necessarily need to be absolutely perfect to be accepted by all the people. For example, in Brave New World, John says, “But I don’t want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want
While the idea of the word utopia is universal, the actual stories that derive from that idea can be very different in nature. The outcome, or even the basis of the story, relies completely upon the authors, or readers view of a prefect society. This is how progress is made, through ideas and thoughts of revolutionary writers in stories we have come to call "utopian."

We often think that our main goals are linked to perfection, however, we are unaware of the devastating effect this unattainable concept has on our outlook on life when we cannot achieve it. Though the textbook definition of perfection is, “the quality or condition of being perfect and without flaws”, it is a vice that harbors many doubts and insecurities and holds us back from things we want to do for fear of not being good. Perfection is a concept that cannot be achieved as it does not exist.
The purpose of this book was to show us a possible version of a "Utopia".
