Utopias are Dystopias

After learning about utopias and dystopias my thoughts on a Utopia changed. What is a Utopia? Prior to this class I thought a Utopia was a perfect society with very few to no issues since it already had the name Utopia to it. After reading about different societies I came to conclusion that there’s no such thing as a Utopia and that all “Utopias” are actually Dystopias. As I said on the first day of class it is hard for there to be a Utopia because it is perfection. The main issue is that everyone has their own definition of a Utopia. This makes it impossible for everyone in one society to agree on rules and guidelines. If no one agrees on these guidelines there is ought to be tension with creates issues. A Utopia is not possible to accomplish. Everyone would have to be of the same or at least very similar opinion, personality, and temperament which everyone knows is not even close to possible unless everyone was a programmed robot. If everyone was the same we would have already made the world a perfect place and as we can see it is far from perfect. I think that the less we strive for a Utopia the more of a Utopia it is going to be. I say this since perfection has a lot to do with happiness. Most people live happy or happier when they live by their way of life as opposed to living by other guidelines that set and given to them. Happy people is more Utopian than people being forced to live by certain rules.
