Is perfection possible? Also, if we could have perfection, would we want a perfect society? These are questions many people have asked, but don’t spend enough time thinking on. The only way to answer these questions is for people to sit down, state their positions and argue it out until a compromise is made on the views of this subject.
Some theories think perfection is possible if we could change everything about ourselves down to a genetic level. Other theories think perfection isn’t possible because human nature will always kick in if person A, a genetically “perfect” human made to be outgoing and productive, to have conflicting goals with person B, another genetically “perfect” human who had the same genes for being outgoing and productive,

The only way this could happen is if everyone were forced to only have babies that were made to be perfect and have babies that are the best possible choices. This would mean that if anyone had an imperfect child, that child would have to be killed or given away to an imperfect society so as to not destroy this perfect society’s perfection. This is very similar to what the Spartans did with their young. They would raise their children only if it seemed like it was a good child that would be useful during its lifespan. They didn’t allow weak offspring to survive because the last time they did that, they had a giant slave revolt and almost crumbled as a society. They chose an imperfect way to become their idea of a perfect people.
This shows that the only type of “perfect” society someone should hope for is a near perfect society that is constantly striving to become better by cooperating with other societies or combining all societies into one giant society that just builds itself up as a whole until it is one perfect utopia. It shouldn’t just be about making the leaders perfect or all the citizens perfect, but about making it as close to perfect by trying to stop all crime, wrong-doings, and misdeeds before they happen by using science for the betterment of mankind after their birth, not before
... All the people should become aware of what the government is doing to them, and decide that it is time to take a stand and make a change. Let humanity rule the world! Present day society is not great, but humanity still rules. And after reviewing all the evidence you just read, isn’t it obvious that the message both writers are trying to give is that perfection is impossible, plus we should keep society how it is, or improve it by using humane approaches?
...e of reality, seizes the pleasures in their lives and portrays a loss of freedom. Both their perfect worlds were full of lies and instead of shielding its inhabitants from evil they gave individuals no rights of their own. What appeared in the beginning as a perfect utopian society was actually an imperfect dystopian environment.
As human beings, we are NOT perfect! It is part of our nature to be
What is a perfect human? Human perfection may be measured by physical ability or intellectual achievement; however, it may also be measured by strength of character, and in this realm humans may often fall short. Weakness of character, shown through various character flaws, causes most of the hardships in life.
Now I believe like Plato, that we can’t attain perfection while here on Earth, but I do believe that we must strive to reach perfectio...
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.
Only the revealed law in the Bible, not our faulty consciences, can tell us that God expects perfection, which means humans are truly sinful and cannot save themselves. Psalm 5:5 explains that “The arrogant cannot stand in your presence; you hate all who do wrong.” God will not condone even one incorrect thought, word, or deed. The fact that no one can live up to God’s standard is important for people to understand before they are
A utopian society is described as a perfect, ideal world in which each citizen lives a happy life, but how long does such a society last? Does a utopian community stay “perfect” forever? As time progresses, a utopian community fails due to people who rebel against the community’s restrictions. Divergent characters stand up to the community, eventually gaining followers and initiating rebellions. In addition, a utopian society faces prejudice against differences, which can lead to a spread of hatred among community members and, once again, rebellion. The citizens of utopias are subject to genetic engineering, a faulty, hazardous science used to achieve perfection.
The many individuals in the world who suffer with perfectionism deal with it day to day. Perfectionists want to be perfect, which leads to a life that is not perfect. You can still set high goals for yourself, but they should be ones that can be accomplished. Some people try and harness perfectionism to work for them than letting it control their lives. They aren’t ashamed of it, and understand that it serves a useful purpose. Some people are able to control it, and some people aren’t. The concept of being perfect is one that cannot be achieved, because no one is ever perfect. It is a symbol of what is correct 100% and because we are human beings and not machines it is not possible. Everyone has goals for themselves, but to live a healthy life, we need to make them realistic. We can still give our best, but we need to please ourselves and be aware of who we are before we need to be perfect for others.
Is a perfect world truly achievable despite the imperfection of humanity? The concept of a utopia, or an ideally perfect world, is hard to grasp in a world currently filled with suffering, disputes, and hatred. While there is goodness, evil seems to dominate. A simple question explains it all. Is it easier to build an entire house, a process which can take years, or to demolish an older one with a couple swings of a wrecking ball which can take mere minutes. Even in the news and media, news corporations love to blast out an unending stream of “bad news”. (Frustrating politics, world violence, crime stories, terrible situations under investigation, etc.) Nevertheless, in the vast imaginations of some contemplative writers, stories of future worlds which are perfect utopias are published as one of the true hopes of society is to “fix the world” although this is impossible because even the slightest imperfections can eventually lead to downfall.
Utopia is defined as a place of ideal perfection especially in laws, government, and social conditions, (merriam-webster.com). Utopia is a mindset that people are conditioned to believe is achievable, when in actuality it isn’t. In a utopian society when people believe that they have reached idealized perfection, there will still be things or people that make the society imperfect. “Every utopia faces the same problem: What do you do with the people who don't fit in?” (Margaret Atwood, a novelist, said this August 24th. 2003). This is the biggest problem with trying to create a utopian society. We live in a diverse world and throughout history have strived to make diversity acceptable. Having a utopian society where all of the people have to agree on everything and act the same way defeats the whole purpose of what we have been working for as a society in terms of acceptance. Utopia is imaginary, and is said to be a perfect place, but there is no shared idea of perfection, so society keeps striving for a utopian society that isn’t achievable, and as a society we are lazy.
The idea of perfectionism is different for everyone, but society seems to promote the idea that money, a college education, and a successful
Based on reading this paper, one can see that their is no such thing as a perfect society. Even though there have been many attempts to create an utopian society, it has yet to be successfully completed because of the reasons that were previously mentioned. Also, with reading this paper one has seen the history, the similarities and differences of the societies, and the reasons for their failures. Eventually there is hope that humans will be able to create a perfect society. This may be because of the fact that the human themselves are
Perfection may be dreamed of, hoped for, and sought after. It can be imagined, imitated, pretended, poorly masqueraded, and foolishly impersonated. Yet as Vince Lombardi said, "perfection is not attainable. But if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence." There are many different perceptions and reasons for striving after perfection; but in the end, everyone ultimately comes up with the same conclusion. The desire for perfection stems from a desire to be happy, to live in an ideal existence, lacking nothing, fully developed, and complete. The only way to be happy in a life obsessed with perfection is to accept imperfections and realize perfection is not something to do; it is something to become next.
You already know this! It 's impossible to achieve perfection. You would have to be a robot, and even then, you would be programmed by a human, so you wouldn 't be completely perfect.
