Since most people think that the “ideal” is impossible to reach, they are led to feel inadequate. The idea of perfection is a mere deception because, the obsession of trying to reach perfection is taken to extremes, perfection is based on individual opinion and there is no such thing as actual perfection.
The idea of perfection is completely individual. We base our idea of perfection on our interest, abilities, and style. What may be perfection to someone is totally not perfection to another. For example, Zeke Cohen in Ms. EN’s four red class discussion said, “My friends like blondes and I like red heads because we see perfection differently.” Although this is a silly example, it is one-hundred percent true. What are we really reaching for if everyone is reaching for something different? This is what makes perfection confusing. One person is reaching for their “perfection” while another is reaching for a total different “perfection”.
The whole idea is just a distorted opinion. Another problem with striving for the “ideal” is that there is no such thing. Tina Fey said, “Every gir...
Everyone wishes to achieve different goals in their life. The goals help individuals reach a step closer to what they perceive as the ideal life. Therefore, an ideal life is not universally the same, but is centered on the individual. What is universal is a persons’ reputation whether
an ideal society, in which everything is supposed to be perfect, with all life’s problems solved. It is
A perfect world is not possible, such as perfection. One example of a failed utopia is mentioned in the article, 4 Utopian Communities That Didn't Pan Out. In reference to the text, the best known utopian in America failed. This utopia is called Brook Farm. It failed
Ever since humans have conquered or established a society, their imperative duty is to try to create a utopian environment. All you can think about in its perfect sense, no mistakes, just everything impeccable. Unfortunately, one can only dream. In which as we are humans, we make mistakes and therefore defeats the meaning of a utopia, and converts into a dystopia. The absolute contrary to what we desire. It all starts with one person sharing their perfect ideas, and illuminating a light to a darkness that every other person has. That light creates hope and the people follow that person in which then over time, gets consumed by some emotion or purpose and thinks of themselves and puts everybody else at ruins, creating a world in which those people wish they never pursued those ideas.
Everything is seen to be perfect in the advertisement world. Society should be perfect. There is happiness and beautiful people. The truth is disguised.
A healthy perfectionist will be in the pursuit of excellence and the unhealthy will strive for perfection. The Center for Clinical Interventions, (2009), said that perfectionism displays itself in someone in three key ways. Perfectionists begin by striving for extremely high goals or standards for their selves and for others. They are either able to reach their high goal and move on or they are unable to self-motivate and fall short. Perfectionists then judge themselves or others based on their results. This judging can affect the individual’s self-worth or how they value the person they set the expectations for. Finally the perfectionist experiences the effects of setting such high standards or goals. This individual is either going to bask in the glory, or be very unhappy with their selves and/or others (Center for Clinical Interventions,
...arn, and cannot be made to forget. Humans all think differently, and can only cooperate to compensate. We cannot feel exactly the same on all of our subjects; therefore, in the process of being human, we are forced to work together, to mold our ideas together, and bring the best from all of our ideas, not just a single one. Humans all take things for granted and want to take the best that we as a race can make it, perfect. Perfection does not exist in this country, or even on Earth itself. Everything, living or not, has flaws, no matter how deeply buried, but not a utopia, nor perfection itself. A utopia simply cannot exist because it is perfect, and our planet, our world, our universe, is not. Perfection is only a thought that exists in our imaginations, and our thoughts, so all attempts to make it a reality, are doomed to creating Oppression, Sorrow, and Death.
In today’s society, everyone seems to be talking about perfection. People can talk about something simple as a “perfect” book, to something as complex and important as a “perfect” life, or a “perfect” family. But, what is perfection? Well, according to the dictionary, the definition of perfection is, “the condition, state, or quality of being free or as free as possible from all flaws or defects.” In the book, Peter Pan by J.M Barrie, the story revolves around the idea of a perfect family. This can be seen through various factors, such as the roles of Mr. and Mrs. Darling, as well as Nana, in the lives of their children. Additionally, Peter Pan decides to ask Wendy ‐with her instinct to support the younger children‐ to be his mother and take
...rough dehumanizing each individual by stripping away their natural rights of life, liberty, and property, but then it is only a false utopia, because people are no longer people without those rights (Locke 5-6). So ask yourself, is a perfect society worth losing your natural rights?
I believe everyone has an ideal of a perfect society. No one wants to live in a society where there is violence and evil. In my opinion, a utopian society would consist of very few government mandated laws and a desirable constitution. People would get along, and everything would be perfect. In order to achieve such an ideal, people must do anything in their power to manifest what they have envisioned. Human nature, like any other animal’s nature, causes us to become competitive, especially with each other. In practice, the attempt to have a perfect society leads to the creation of a dystopian society where people are unhappy, afraid, and not treated fairly.
Is it possible to recreate the idea of a perfect society? If yes , then the person in agreement thinks the idea of a perfect society or utopia is possible. A utopia is a place or condition of things in which everything is perfect or immaculate. But can there really be a place of complete perfection. Well , some may say yes and some have even attempted to run a utopian experiment. Others , may agree that the idea of complete perfection , just can’t possibly exist. Though some utopian experiments have been said to succeed , many have failed , consequently leading most people to believe a perfect society just cannot exist due to many factors such as improper governing , human survival , natural disasters and much more.
Girls, Aren’t you sick of living under society's idea of perfection? Nowadays, high and unrealistic standards are set for all women to live up to. Women are socially influenced to meet the criteria of the perfect outer image. People surrounding us, the media, and stereotypes of the ‘perfect girl’ are telling us we must have flawless bodies, confident and happy personalities, and an innocent outlook on life.
Houyhnhnm’s Land is a society unique to Gulliver’s adventures because he encounters not only horses reigning over society, but also that these supreme animals think more rationally and intellectually than the Yahoos and even Gulliver himself. Gulliver’s stay in Houyhnhnm’s Land represents the “perfect”, but emotionless and detached conventions of utopia. According to Dr. Joyce Hertzler’s The History of Utopian Thought, utopians hold a false view of society so that when developing their “perfect” social order they think nothing of “…over-riding natural affections and balking natural desires and impulses” (304). Life is really nothing but a systematic social order if devoid of all emotion, causing one to question the “perfection” of utopia. If one looks beneath the surface of the Houyhnhnm’s culture, one will find that Gulliver’s final journey does not describe an immaculate society, but rather a visionary world, meaning a world that is purely speculative and out of reach.
Perfection is a fruitless Endeavor, it is simply not a truth in life. many people in today’s society become accustomed to believing that only once you have grasped the very highest peak of the mountain have you reached success. And yet, when we humble ourselves enough to open up about tragic times, therefore, accepting that we are vulnerable rather than lashing out or falling into despair we become aware of the reality that there are always subtle perfections hidden in the darkest and seemingly most flawed places.
