makes me think of wonderland of peacefulness where everyone gets along. I’ve always that it presents you an idea to imagine about‚ and his idea of utopia is very easy on the eyes and seduces you. However‚ I analyzed the song a little more and his "utopia" is appearing to be more of a dystopia to me. Lennon invites you to dream of a place where nobody has a reason to die‚ no reason to compete‚ where there is no religion‚ and no heaven nor hell.

Can Technology Lead to Utopia? My mother would rather snapchat than answer my calls; therefore from the perspective of an 18 year old girl with no sense of social media‚ the idea that technology is the driving force of the future baffles me.

current society focuses on political points more than it focuses on problems that citizens face on a daily basis. This utopia corrects all of the current society’s problems to make it perfect. It focuses on political issues and the citizens’ problems equally. It also works toward making the world a better place.
