Essay On Utopia

Introduction

Since the dawn of mankind, humans have always expressed a desire to understand natural phenomenon and to answer questions regarding their way of life, their birth and what happens after death. These needs resulted in the development of a variety of philosophies and theories that can be found all around the world today. These beliefs soon became more and more superstitious.

I personally feel that all superstitions, all religious beliefs and all customs will continue to persist till time immemorial. But my thought is that it will be easier to solve the crisis of inequality and discrimination once these beliefs do not get woven tightly with society’s practices by creating a feeling of oneness among the people and the feeling of being the same before law and the government. If this revolutionary thought gets embedded in the deep thoughts of a society, all the negative belief systems will have a hard time infiltrating the strong bond between the citizens of a country.
