Do we find our own Utopia or does it have to be a world thing?

Answer 1

If I am not mistaken, I think Utopia is word that describes a perfect world. In a way, I guess, it could be a personal thing. If you feel your world is perfect, but then I think you would just be naive. I remember a book I read in like 6th grade about a society that tried to create there own utopia, it was called The Giver. In their world they had no color or feelings and everyone was assinged a family, or unit, and the job best matched to them. There was one person every so many years that was chosen as the "receiver" who was basically the burden bearer for the rest of society. He was "given" all the bad stories and feelings, as well as the good like love and color, of the world, by the "giver", so no one eles would have to think about or know about it. It was a good book for that reading level. If this question is for a philosophy class you might want to read it just for reference sake. But back to the question, no I don't think utopia is a personal thing it must be worldly, or at least in one society. It also seems impossible because where would all the negative go? Think of the Ying and Yang... without bad how could there be good? To have one thing you always have to have the opposite. I think this "rule" or "phenomonon" holds true in almost every aspect of life: Capitalism, Love, school, health, peace, everything. If the whole world was "perfect" then nobody would die, everyone would be wealthy,educated, beautiful, or the complete opposite of these things and not know the difference. The would would not exist if there were no "bad" and if it did it would eventually become "bad" and everyone would think that is perfect. Think of communism. Hope I made some sence.

Answer 2

You-Reality is subject to different interpretations of the individual. So if you live in a utopia who is to say you don't? Who could convince you other wise?
World- A utopia in the world could not exist as everyone idea of what it should be would differ. Even if the basic ideas followed(no disease, famine, long life etc.) of what a utopia should be by the majority came to be. The minority of its citizens would not be in a utopia.

Answer 3

I think we find our own Utopia. The idea of the world having a Utopia is not realistic at this point. Basically finding your own utopia is like finding inner peace and the world has not found its inner peace.

Answer 4

The odds are stacked against any utopia.. religions are death-oriented.. they promise utopia (heaven) AD.. capitalists want all of your productive output for pennies on the dollar.. communists want you to live with the herd/flock.. etc.. soooo.. do the best you can.. make a comfortable & happy life without great expectations.. and you will enjoy your little visit on earth..

Answer 5

The overriding ethical authority for an atheist is the presence of a neighborhood as good because the character's encouraged experience of accountability over their possess bodily, social and/or ordinary habits. Authority must consistently be held, in sentiment, as a accountability as a substitute than a badge of self-valued at. The supply of 1's habits is trivial in appreciate to the results of such habits. The trick to being ethical is being competent to appear deep sufficient to peer that serving to others is a social and emotionally satisfying phenomenon which inspires prosperity of the species. Maybe its even a latent intuition of types. If humans real wanted faith to be ethical, the sector would not be filled with non-devout humans who had been ethical. All it fairly takes is slightly foresight to do what is proper.

Answer 6

A business professor told our class, "perception is reality". To that end the world is the reality we perceive. However, I submit, "ignorance is bliss". Since utopia is, as I understand it, a blissful place, perhaps it is currently overpopulated.

Answer 7

for it to be a world thing it has to begin with the individual
