An Ideal Society
We all strive to be perfect people and to live in a perfect world. However realistically no matter how hard we try to be perfect or make things around us perfect it is simply impossible to create a real Utopian lifestyle. Most of us have some type of vision on how we believe the world should be ran and the things we can do to have what some may call the ideal society. For centuries many countries, colonies and tribes have strived to make this possible but for some reason have been unsuccessful. Could this because they just did not have the correct formula to an ideal life? Or could they simply be lacking one more element to become the perfect world? No matter what the case may be there are mainly four principles that must exist in a society in order for it work. In order to create the Ideal society everyone must pull their own weight, there should be order, equality and some type of belief system.
Equality is the key to a perfect society. We are all human beings and should be treated as such. There is no reason to try to discriminate or make someone do more or less work because of their race or gender. In order for everyone to get along we must eliminate anything that could separate one person from another. Meaning there would be no such thing as social class everyone would make the same amount of money and eat the same type of food. Everyone would be able to get the same type of education and have the same opportunities everyone would just be the same. In a utopian society they decided to get rid of all tailors or dressmakers and required everyone to instead wear the same sort of clothes. By doing this they stopped anyone from being envious of another person’s clothes. Instead it forced people to not concentrate on materialistic objects. Once you get rid of envy and jealousy in a society there would be no need for wars because there is simply nothing to fight for.
