Looking at society currently, one can tell that it has many flaws. The society as it is today is filled with poverty and war which is something that destroys peace in our world; it could be more of a Dystopian society since it is not perfect in other words. I believe that what makes a perfect society is one that does not have wars, poverty or discrimination.

First of all, we have that wars have always been around and they are one of the causes to there not being peace in our world. There is wars because countries are some times influenced by ideologies that have led them to want more land or want the resources of other countries. War can sometimes be influenced by the choices a country takes and that another country may noy agree on. To eliminate wars countries need to learn that there is other options to violence. The nations can learn that there is a way around war, for example negotiating and getting to an agreement. If there no longer was wars it would be a big leap for man kind on finding a perfect world.

Discrimination has always been around and affects many people and could have affected us at one point of our lives. Bullying is one of the current ongoing forms of discrimination mainly in between teenagers and has had the fault of many reports of suicide from the ones that have been the victims.

    Society will never be perfect. Equality will never be sustained. A dystopian society will always have corruption of government. Corruption is present all around the world but is swept under the rug. Abridgment of human rights happens every day in our country or another. Oppression is the cause for all the sadness in our world. There will be always selfishness in dystopia. One must sink for another to rise, but “good doesn’t mean good for everyone. It means worst for someone.”

    Will perfection ever be possible or is it just a concept that we have not yet decided will never be possible? Over time, people have tried to come up with a plan to make perfection possible in ¨worlds¨. These ¨worlds¨ are called utopias. Utopias sound like a beautiful environment where equality is everywhere. Except, there is more to utopias than equality. Utopias do not just have perfection or equality, the people therefore are just as perfect. In utopias, the people share everything and are united together, making their society benefit. Over the years, utopias have been built that still exist to today, unfortunately the majority of utopias built in all, have failed causing utopias to be impossible.

  • Compare And Contrast Utopia And The Prince

    514 Words  | 2 Pages

    When people think about the ‘perfect’ society, all will have a different idea on the topic. For example, Thomas More wrote in ‘Utopia’ of a society where all of the cities were exactly the same. Whereas Niccolo Machiavelli wrote about how a society should be ruled in ‘The Prince.’ Both works paint a portrait of leadership and laws, as well as life and society. In ‘The Prince’, Machiavelli isn’t describing the aspects of a perfect society, he is speaking of how a prince should rule it in order to make it ideal. Whereas in ‘Utopia’, More describes the society as a whole.

  • Essay On Dystopian Society

    904 Words  | 2 Pages

    Here in America, we have the freedom to carry out our lives as we see fit. We all have different preferences that make us unique and separate us from one another. Rarely does the government step in to tell us what we are allowed to eat, wear, or do for recreation. Imagine how different life would be if we could no longer choose these aspects of our life, but instead it was chosen for us by the government. In the dystopian societies seen in Divergent and 1984, the government strips away these rights from its citizens, and in doing so they make everyone uniform; the two stories share a common theme of government control stripping away the individuality of the governed.

    I think you need peace to have a perfect society, and with that being said you have to eliminate things like racism, corruption and slavery all three of these things are major problems in this world. Racism is still a major issue still in this world you have people getting stopped by police just for being a minority, and you have groups like the white supremacist and the Ku Klux Klan that hate people who have a different culture or racial background, and sometimes brutally beat or kill minorities. Corruption is another major issue in the world things like crooked politicians, crooked cops etc. When you have politicians and police that are corrupt you have people with authority and power over people, whose agenda for things is bad. For example you have politicians who sometimes use their power for things that hurt us but benefit’s them financially or cops who let drug dealer’s deal but get some kind of profit from it.
