what would your perspective be on a perfect society and do you think its possible in this century?

Answer 1

A perfect society would really have to be filled with perfect people. Know any? Me either. My ideal society would be Viking. Matters of ethics were decided by one-on-one combat, and the economy was ale-based. How much better can things be?

Answer 2

A perfect society would be without hatred, jealous, envy, a difference in wages for the same job(only if your hard work proves you deserve it), staying out of other peoples business, no killings no crimes against society as a whole period no wars just peace and happiness. Not in this century or the centuries to follow because man does not know how to enjoy life as it was given to us

Answer 3

A "perfect" society would be a horrible one, because it would have to be someones idea of perfect forced upon the rest of us. We could never agree on what was perfect unless we all thought the same, which would mean we have all lost the differences that make us unique and beautiful, which would be a tragedy.

Answer 4

I wanted to answer this question, but the I couldn't think of a scenario that would work. thumbing through the pages of human history in my mind, I cannot come up with one that might possibly answer your question. I would imagine that the days when the main deity was the Goddess, and women had postions of power (at least 4000 years ago) the world was not quite so violent, but I don't know for sure.

Answer 5

The perspective of a perfect society amongst humans is inconceivable. It will never happen. That is why we are individuals and God made us this way....not to be perfect.

Answer 6

The very idea of perfect society is imaginative...perfect is a relative term tooo....there should be some comparative element that you would like to compare perfect society.
There is nothing called perfect society...

Answer 7

Perfect society? Where everyone is good, loving, loyal, law abiding, and righteous...oh and always did what was the best thing, not only for themselves but for everyone around them. Is it possible? Sadly - no.

Answer 8

Only if you were the last person on earth, would it be a "perfect" society.

Not in the next millennia.

Answer 9

I don't think it's EVER been possible! As long as people are people they will take advantage of others, i.e., make the slaves, indentured servants or illegal alliens!

Answer 10

Do I believe a "perfect" society will be possible in this century?

No. The richest of the filthy rich simply will not allow it. They *need* everyone else to be gutter-poor and desperate and at each other's throats constantly so that their little clique can manipulate and exploit every *last* problem in existence, squeezing every last drop from all our flaws and foibles until the Oil is all gone and the Earth itself can no longer grow food or hold drinkable water... And the closer we get to it, the more extreme measures this Landed Lying Cheating And Stealing Gentry will take to maintain their status quo....the New Economy, based on the Internet, was the last serious threat to their hegemony, and what did they do? Who did their boys on the inside call?

G.W.Bush. Osama bin Laden. At the very least.

Can it be done? YES. It most certainly can and has in fact been done multiple times since the second World War. We came so close with the rebuliding of Japan and Western Europe in the late 1940s and early 1950s....

Many nations of Latin America--south of Mexico on the Western Hemisphere, our half of the globe--are getting there, courtesy of being free to be both democratic and also boldly standing up for their *own* citizens, as is the case in Brazil and Venezuela.

It isn't rocket science. :) By and large, Teddy Roosevelt had it right, minus the excesses of the Monroe Doctrine he inheirited from a past president....

1) Control Big Business. Give them notice that wealth does NOT trump Rule of Law and that if The Corporate wish to be considered legal persons within our society, then they MUST assume appropriate citizenship duties like any other person. Enough with a parasitic globalism that creates a billion sweatshops and props up the Regime of the Senile and Sadistic in China all at America's SOLE expense. Enough of a parasitic Petroleum Industry that does nothing but pat criminals and sociopaths on the back because they just so happen to be Arab and rich....enough of a CEO Class, of the HMO Homos who take and take and TAKE and take and laugh in your face when you tell them to give something *back*.

Enough of politically pampered rich boys who take a dollar of corporate welfare and then *moan half to death* over the nickel Poor and Problem Citizens get in Social support programs needed to *survive*. And ENOUGH ALREADY of having these backstabbers buying out the political process, lock, stock and barrel, government, mass media AND the legal/penal/enforcement complex.

2) Protect and conserve the environment. Big Oil is coming. Global Warming is here. Pollution and ambient toxins are already at work emasculating a whole lost generation of men and boys in our nation, the phthalates, the PFOAs, the volatile organic solvents....Genetically modified foods, in the meantime, are already at work weakening our women, if not with Recombinant Bovine Growth Hormone giving innocent little girls *freakishly precocious* breast growth, then by raising cancer risks and doing who *knows* what to immune systems and fertility systems already in the balance, if the condition of fresh-water frogs and fish are *any* indication of life higher on the food chain...of the eagles who can no longer lay sound eggs from decades of tainted prey.....

3) Look to the future. Put evangelical, fundamentalist, anti-science and anti-social religion *back* in its proper place in society once and for all by NOT allowing it to dictate either moral standing or legal policy. Allow science to do its proper work--research and development--in the fields of the future: stem cell research, nanotechnology, personal and person-shaped computing/robotics, alternative fuels and transportation, universal and ubiquitous portable computing and networking....and on and on. Let humanity proceed *into* the proper 21st century, and let us no longer be held back by those who would have us stuck back in time, either the 19th century of the evangelical, or the 9th century of the Wahabbi Muslim....

4) Be a proper and respectful peer among nations. No more "hyper-power" nonsense, no more policing the world unnecessarily, we work *with* the world on the condition that we are allowed to be a normal nation again: allowed to pursue policy that is *pro-citizen* and for our own people and interests.

You know, just like the WHOLE ENTIRE REST OF THE WORLD DOES. Sorry for shouting, but duh..... **rolls eyes** the point is so clear and obvious it is invisible to all who look at it, like air itself, it shows no trace until its ruin or movement.

5) And by being pro-citizen, I mean: create and reinforce a culture of "rugged individuality" wherein self-reliance and self-improvement are the rule, not the rare exception, and where doing your part and trying to do the right thing in society is rewarded and encouraged and supported, all the way down to the poorest of us, not just for the Pampered, Parasitic and Predatory Rich. End income cliffing on benefits for the poorest of the poor, our disabled and discouraged Problem Citizens among us...create a common Public Standard of job benefits, health care and pensions, that *all* empolyment must provide for, whether the job is part or full time work. Support an End To Hypocrisy In Public Welfare Amendment to the Constitution, that forces Corporate Welfare and Welfare to the Poor, Aged, Children and Disabled, to match identically, dollar for dollar, so that no one can spend more on the CEOs than the poor, and so that no one can cut more from the least able to afford it without doing so for their wealthy "friends".

Create a nation where we are all on the same team, and where no Citizen is truly ever left behind or given up on, where no one falls through the cracks, because we are all in it together. And where folks are encouraged to do what they can, work as much as they can, and to be as much a part of society as is humanly possible. Exclude no one. No more scapegoat classes, huddled in the gutter or under the falling Superdome post-Katrina, post-Apocalypse for the poor and elderly....Include everyone, Encourage everyone down to the bums on the street by having a Place In America for EVERYONE.

6) And finally...by encourage and develop, and include, I mean simply this. Give more than you take. Allow more than you demand. Insist that people work as much as they can, that they do as much as possible, that they be all they can be...

And do NOT meddle. Don't interefere, micromanage, or otherwise censor and pre-judge the social life of a citizen. Teddy Roosevelt was himself a bit of an outsider as an American, a bit of an atypical, nonconformist citizen, so it only stands to reason that he'd be all for Leaving The Law-Abiding Citizen The Hell Alone socially. Meaning, if it doesn't encourage and uplift and include and *EMPOWER* the Citizen, if it takes more than it gives and demands more than it allows in terms of freedom, don't DO it.

Am I making sense here?
