Utopia and dystopia


Utopia and Dystopia 

the word utopia origins from Greece and means No place and Good place 

one of the best descriptions of a utopia i read was 


http://www.thefreedictionary.com/utopia

often Utopia An ideally perfect place, especially in its social, political, and moral aspects.
b. A work of fiction describing a utopia.
2. An impractical, idealistic scheme for social and political reform.

In my opinion a Utopia can never be achieved because how individual all humans are and we all have ideas of what a utopia is. This dose not mean that you can utopia by your self i feel that people sometimes get a euphoric state and a utopia mistaken.



Plutos Republic 380 BC way ahead of time suggest the way forward so that society could be level





Venus project

The Venus project is a modern day idea for a utopia on the premises that money does not exist any more and that everything is based around science everything would be made to benefit humanity everyone jobs would be helpful to create scientific discoveries an everything would be green powered there is a massive flaw in this idea because of human nature greed comes into play because everything is free everyone can have what ever they want but because of human characteristics and emotion this cannot be achieved for example if one guy had 10 cars another person might see this and 20 cars and so on and so on until the formula becomes corrupted in this idea everyone has equal rights and equal opportunities because everyone is the same or can be the same.






Opinion 
In my opinion this is why a Utopia cannot exist because of human nature everyone has a different opinion of what utopia is i feel that sometimes people can get a utopia And Euphoric state mixed up euphoric state is a nice place to be and can effect one person on many people but it is not perfect for everyone like a utopia should be. 

Dystopia 
Sometimes a utopia may look good on the outside but really it may have a dark secret that turns into a dystopia. For example the movie the island on the surface it seems that everyone is equal and safe and in a nice environment but in reality the citizens  being controlled by people high above in a hierarchy 
The most common version of the dystopia is the post-apocalyptic dystopia were some bigger then/life changing event has happened with the world and is left in horrific state and people are facing horrible challenges everyday words basically hell on earth.
