Recommended: Perfection in modern society

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. …show more content…

These authors are very well aware of this, naturally, and almost represent this through their stories, for all “utopia” stories are truly “dystopias”, the facade of a utopian community only from a distance, but when you get closer you start to see the shadows underneath of an anything but perfect society. A Dystopia. Animal Farm, written by George Orwell, among many other stories, is a Dystopia. Harrison Bergeron, The Giver, and Animal Farm are dystopias for they all take place in seemingly “perfect” or “better than their past” worlds, although they all have fatal flaws in their societies and in their leadership, and multiple rebellions and uprisings take place in which certain characters oppose the leaders and heinous policies in their dystopian world, representing the majority of the people in their “world” which struggle from their oppressive

    Very few people could fit in a whole different society without a challenge. Dystopias or anti-utopias, which use a whole different type of society in their themes, are characterized by a range of features such as harsh rules of moral and irritating patterns of behaviour. A theme of a dystopia, which is usually frightening, could be anything from a social stratification to the extreme technological advances. Dystopias voice criticism about the current trends, social norms or politics, and they often includes an oppressive societal control.

    Before World War I, the literary term known as the Utopia emerged. Many people believed that society would be happier if the individual made sacrifices for the “common good”. However, the war changed all of that. Society began to fear governments in which everyone was the same and was ruled by a dictator. Thus, the genre of the dystopian novel emerged. “Dystopian novels show that any attempt at establishing utopia will only make matters much worse.” (Dietz, 1996) Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury and 1984 by George Orwell are considered classic examples of this genre by such critics as Frank Dietz, Beaird Glover, and Donald Watt. These distinct novels both warn against utopia through the portrayal of the protagonist begins as part of a society in which the individual is non-existent, come into contact with influences that cause their rebellions, and eventually come into contact with some upper hand of the government.

    "The truth is, dystopian fiction presents a fun house mirror of our collective selves." However, authors tend to take dystopian literature to an extreme. For example when you look at yourself in a fun house mirror, you may look extremely tall, rather short, or your face may expand. Well, that's similar to how authors write about dystopians. A dystopian is a perfect society that has pretty much "fallen apart".

    What exactly is a dystopia, and how is it relevant today? E.M. Forster’s The Machine Stops uses a dystopian society to show how one lives effortlessly, lacking knowledge of other places, in order to show that the world will never be perfect, even if it may seem so. A society whose citizens are kept ignorant and lazy, unknowing that they are being controlled, unfit to act if they did, all hidden under the guise of a perfect utopian haven, just as the one seen in The Machine Stops, could be becoming a very real possibility. There is a rational concern about this happening in today’s world that is shared by many, and with good reason. Dystopian worlds are often seen as fictitious, though this may not be the case in the future.

    The stories “The Ones Who Walk Away” by Ursula Le Guin and “The Pedestrian” by Ray Bradbury, shows how a society is appeared to be perfect when in reality it is not a perfect society. Have humans made any effort in resulting utopia, but not just desiring for it? Usually the stories are predicted to the imagination of a Utopia, but their actions result into a dystopian society. Many stories are based on a utopia, yet one makes it end into a dystopia. For instance, humans think that Earth can become a paradise, but they know that in order for the earth to become a paradise they need to be evil to others. What they do not understand is that in order to bring happiness and make something perfect, one has to be good to everyone and should give others the equal right. The stories “The One Who Walk Away From Omelas by Ursula Le Guin and “The Pedestrian” by Ray Bradbury expresses how the society starts off from utopia and creates

  • Utopia As A Dystopian Society

    Human sacrifice killings is a horrific but devastatingly true reality for some that come too close to the jaws of the Matamoros cult. People usually think of a utopia as an amusement park or just an amazing dream. The dictionary version is often defined as “any visionary system of political or social perfection” (“Utopia”). A dystopia is quite the opposite though. Think of your worst nightmare and that is exactly what a dystopia is. The professional definition is “a society characterized by human misery, as squalor, oppression, disease, and overcrowding” (“Dystopia”). As it goes in 1984, the whole book is based on a dystopian society. Citizens have horrible lives which leave them dehumanized by the central government. They are also being under

    While Utopia shines a light on what a society could achieve, Dystopia shines a light on how they can fail. Both a Utopia and Dystopia can begin with the same goals in mind, although in the end can have very different results. When describing a dystopian society, our minds often conjure up the words “dictatorship” or “totalitarianism”. Both these words are commonly associated with forms of government and lack of the common man’s control. Constant supervision, regulated activities, and lack of individualism and emotion are all common signs of a

    In a dystopian society, the government watches and dictates everything. It is the opposite of a perfect world in the sense that careers and social status are pre-destined. The government of this society does everything in its power to make the citizens believe that this is the most ideal place to live. The word “dystopia” ultimately roots back to the Greek word “dys” meaning bad and “topos” meaning place (www.merriam-webster.com). Citizens in a dystopian society rarely question their government. Many citizens are brainwashed and others are just too frightened to speak out against injustices evident in their society. The Hunger Games and The Giver are perfect examples of dystopian texts d...

    Nobody knows what the world will look like in the future. In fact many people might think that the world is going downhill. The societies that we live in could become cold, pollution filling the air and streets, and people becoming miserable and ignorant. A utopia is, “an ideal place or state” (“utopia”). In reality, utopias become dystopias very quickly. A dystopia is “a society characterized by human misery, as squalor, oppression, disease, and overcrowding” (“dystopia”). These ideas perfectly describe the society in which the characters in 1984, by George Orwell, live in. Orwell’s purpose of this book was to warn the world to change their ways because people were blindly following leaders like Hitler and Stalin.

  • Architectural Utopia or Dystopia?

    2400 Words  | 5 Pages

    In 1516 Thomas More published Utopia, thereby kindling for the Renaissance as well as four our own times a literary ritual designating an idyllic future society and by outcome evaluating the society already in existence. Throughout history, humans have obsessed with projected Utopias of the world that revealed their perception of it. These multidimensional projections can be viewed as naiveties that leaked to the peripheral world nothing more than subjective thoughts. Half a century after More, Leon Battista Alberti promoted a parallel Utopian tradition of designing the Utopian city, one dedicated to Francesco Sforza. This utopian urban planning initiated a multitude of efforts to install a desirable geometrical pattern for future living without narrating how to achieve it. Another few centuries into the future and we view how this obsession with planning for a Utopia still lives through Le Corbusier’s Villa Radieuse master plan. A master plan proposed as the resolution to the enigma of human existence in an industrialized world. Nonetheless with the acknowledgment of the concept of Utopia and the designing for this we come to ponder even more on whether a Utopia can truly exist aside from within ones mind and whether it turns to dystopia when physically established. Can one collective Utopian vision exist or does a Utopic city stem from the coexistence of a variety of utopian thoughts and ideas.

  • How Does Dystopian Fiction Affect Society

    1584 Words  | 4 Pages

    While utopia symbolized a perfect place, the term dystopia, on the other hand, was used to oppose the views of proponents of utopia. Therefore, dystopia came up as a revolution against the sense of utopia. Dystopia depicted a place where everything is imperfect. In reality, the aspect of dystopia reflected the struggle and setbacks associated with living in a world where only a few rich benefited from exploiting the poor. It could be argued that the influential and rich members of society were presumed to live in utopia while the poor masses lived in dystopia, the world where nothing is perfect. The utopian fiction works served to please and satisfy those in authority whereas the dystopian literature was aimed at upholding the rights and happiness of the oppressed poor people in the society. Dystopian work was not based on pretense and hypocritical deeds but valued reality and truth (Wilson
