“Community, Identity, Stability” are the three words that hang on a sign at the entrance of the Central London Hatchery and Conditioning Centre. These words are supposedly the World State motto and the prime goals of this “utopian” society. In the beginning of Brave New World, Aldous Huxley portrayed the setting as a utopia, an ideally perfect place, but is anything but perfect. This novel depicts a complete nightmare where society is dehumanized, uniformed, and chaotic.…

Peace throughout the utopia is easily maintained when no citizen ever has to worry about putting food on their plates, when there is constantly a supply of a necessity in a citizens life there is not much more to worry about and that facilitates a worry free, easy-going lifestyle. That is incredibly hard to come…
In the book “Brave New World” by Aldous Huxley we are shown a utopian society with a life a bit different from our own. I this society children are born from test tubes and grown up learning not to indulge in feelings and or emotions. Because of this a question arises is social stability worth the price of living a life with little to no emotions.

This causes us to see how the society of emotion hold up and if it is also socially stable.…
Between the 1820’s and 1860’s, Americans were trying new things and promoting different ideas and ways of thinking. Once such idea is that of a utopian society. A utopian society, simple put, means a perfect society. There are many examples of experiments at utopian society in the 1800’s.…
Utopia society, a society that is perfect in every way. The city of Omelas is described as this fairy tale and magical place. The narrator gives details of the city that has no organized church, they do not engage in war, no guilt and they feel joy through each other’s energy. Then the narrator turns it on the reader to add anything to his or her own fantasy world, so that the reader is able to make a connection to this magical world she is describing. Le Guin, the author, makes a suggestion that will help the reader be more intrigued by the reading, “Perhaps it would be best if you imagined it as your own fancy bids, assuming it will rise to the occasion, for certainly I cannot suit you all.” (Le Guin pp.3) In order for this place to feel…

Icaria was founded by Etienne Cabet who moved to England in 1834. He wrote Voyage en Icarie, which copies More’s, Utopia. His ideas showed social progress of natural elite identified by equal education for both sexes, healthy physical environment, and implementing the golden rule (love your neighbor as you love yourself). In 1849 Cabet and his followers bought land from the Mormons in Nauvoo, Illinois. Children were taken for their parents when they turned four, and were moved to boarding school buildings, where they were taught to love the community and have no special affection for their parents. Every adult had a job in a workshop or on the farm. The Icarians had no religion. Every year they elected a new president and four offices (finance, farming, industry, and education). The group began to split and the splinters moved west. “A truly second Promised Land, an Eden, an Elysium, a new Earthly Paradise.” (“America and the Utopian Dream”)…
The concept of a Utopia has served as the source of inspiration for many fiction novels. This term was first popularized in the year 1516 by Sir Thomas More who used it as the headline of his book which describes the basis of a perfect society. Sir Thomas More’s perspective of the utopian society is comparable to that of both Aldous Huxley, the author of Brave New World, and John Wyndham, the writer of The Chrysalids and serves as the thematic relation between the two writers. In these texts, both authors use the ideals of human philosophy to justify that the perfect society cannot exist while driving single-mindedly towards a utopian society, for it is destined to lead to dystopia. This is a result of several factors present in The Chrysalids and Brave New World. Firstly, since perfection has no allowance for error, a society led by mankind is prone to the weakness and mistakes of human nature and will never achieve perfection. Secondly, absolute happiness is dependent on the elimination of all differences; this defines the impossibility of a utopian society due to the lack of members resorting to equal conformity. Thirdly, the perfect society requires absolute stability, this makes no room for advancement and therefore the contingency of reaching true perfection is impossible.…
Imagine having to live in a world where your own decisions are chosen for you by your society. Anywhere ranging from your own spouse and practically your entire family to your job is all chosen for you. On top of all of that, your emotions are completely concealed, all your memories are taken away, and there is no way out of this ludicrous location other than being ‘released’ which is a more pleasant way of saying committing suicide. Does that sound like a perfect world to you? Utopias are generally communities/societies made so that all of the troubles of the real world disappear, only leaving behind a so called ‘Perfect World’. I personally believe that a utopia isn’t possible because as you read in my example above, things can never truly…
Thusly, because of unavoidable disagreements, it makes a community imperfect. Unless every man shared a single telepathic consciousness where all ideas and beliefs were the same, perfection in society cannot exist. Utopia literally means no place. This helps to make it clear that there is no place in this existence on Earth that people can live in total harmony and free of worries. In every place we look, there are crimes, hunger, and diseases that hinder any ability to form perfection. “Human action can be modified to some extent, but human nature cannot be changed” (Abraham…
If one were to ask 100 different people a subjective question, one is likely to elicit 100 different answers. This shows that everyone is different and has a wide range of views. Knowing this, one can assume that each one of their views on utopia must be equally as varied. Therefore, achieving a common utopia is near impossible. A utopia is a perfect place where everyone is happy both in society and in oneself. Motivation; an element of life that gives someone the drive to achieve a certain goal. Motivation is the adrenaline rush to life without which humans cannot progress as a civilization. It allows for the betterment of society, thus gaining some common ground between people which although does not constitute a utopia, will make a majority of people happy. Achieving utopia in society is impossible, but by using utopia as a goal or as a motivation, society will grow into a happier and more utopian like place, even though it can not reach actual utopia. A society similar to a utopia is possible through America’s motivation, and due to this, we have fruitful land, both agriculturally and socially. Ignorance, the opposite of motivation, leads to a dystopia, a place or environment in which people are miserable, unhappy or uncomfortable in, instead of a utopian-like society. This shows us that ignorance will not make society happy, thus deviating from the track to societal transcendence; the metamorphosis of society into a state of well-being. Due to each person having unique wants and necessities, the scope of a utopian society, is broadened and stretched until it can no longer be perceived. This adds to the number of reasons why utopia is not possible. Motivation is quintessential to attain near utopianism; a society that takes into account everybodys general view of utopia. Without motivation, society would suffer a dystopian lifestyle.…
My Utopia society is about everyone having equal rights . Also , everyone should be happy without being judged or discriminated by how they are or how they act .

Everyone should be able to be themselves and not be criticised just because they are gay or their color.…

The perfect society does not exist. If it did however, it would probably sound much like the vacation brochures you can read at your travel agency. The air and water would be clean. You could have a perfect view of anything you wanted. Also, the weather would be perfect for any activity you wanted to do. This Utopia does not physically exist, but in our minds, it goes something like this.…
