I was looking for the definition of the two
terms Utopia and Dystopia and this is what I found.
“Utopia is an ideal community or society possessing a desirable socio-politico-legal system. The word was coined in Greek by Sir Thomas More for his 1516 book Utopia, describing a fictional island in the Atlantic Ocean. The term
has been used to describe both intentional
communities that
attempt to create an ideal society, and fictional societies portrayed in literature. It has
spawned other concepts, most prominently dystopia.”
“A dystopia is the idea of a society, generally of
a speculative future, characterized by negative, anti-utopian elements, varying
from environmental to political and social issues. Dystopian
societies, usually hypothesized by writers of fiction, have culminated in a
broad series of sub-genres and is often used to raise issues regarding society,
environment, politics, religion, psychology, spirituality, or technology that may become present in the future. For this reason, Dystopias have taken the form
of a multitude of speculations, such as Pollution; Poverty; Societal collapse or Political
repression and Totalitarianism.”
Well
according to the information that I found utopia is a term use to describe a
place where everything is perfect in all the aspects of the word, as I see it
is some type of heaven a place where everything is just right no political or
economic problems or no problems at all. I see a Utopia as the community or society
that most of the people are looking forward to, but as we know we are not there
yet.
Dystopia
is the appositive of Utopia; it’s full of mistakes and negativity. The fields of economy, political and others are
not even near to perfect. Dystopia from
my point of view is what best compare with our community or society in the real
world, I compare Dystopia and the real world because let face it things are not
perfect or at less where I am, and this is why we are thinking critical to
reach the utopia of our dreams.
I got this definition from:
