A Utopian Society is a very peaceful place where you can breathe fresh air and not worry about being poisoned with pollution. A utopian society is everything that you think is a good society. It can be as simply as everyone playing golf everyday. It’s a make believe place where everything is perfect. There are many people in the world that believe that the Utopian Society looks different then others. Some even argue about what it look like. I on the other hand have a different opinion on what it looks like.
A Utopian Society is very peaceful and worry free society. I believe it could be built in a country where there is a lot of land. It should built in a place where you can build water falls and plant big trees that are good for the animals, people, and just to make the place look nice. A Utopian society, my opinion, is a very beautiful place that has a lot of purple flowers everywhere and fruit and vegetables grow fast. Its always bright and sunny everyday and the nights are nice and cool. People can worship who ever they want as their god and nobody will fight or anything.
Also, I believe that people continuously believe that a utopian society exist believe that it really is a place like that. Therefore, people are entitled to there own opinion. They believe it looks like this and that and they are not wrong because its what ever they think it looks like. Only because it was never discovered so they don’t know what it really looks like. It’s just a figment of there own opinion and imagination and nobody can tell them different. I heard it looked like a fairy tell dream where every wish comes true.
More or less, when there is a good, there is always a bad. A utopian society can also have a bad or it could be a bad place. The place would be called a dystopia and it would be the complete opposite of a utopian society. It would have, in my opinion, dark areas and no fun would be there. You would have to work hard every day for low pay or even no pay. It would be a waste of time to live there because you would be angry everyday. Nobody would like to be angry everyday or even close to everyday because it just makes them have a bad day
In conclusion, learning about the utopian and dystopian society was very interesting. I never knew anything about that before this whole project. I think everyone should make a mental picture of what they think both society’s look like. Its a lot of fun and you get to see what other people think.

Outline
Precious Dyer
1) How would you define a utopian society?
a) A Utopian society is a very peaceful society.
i) I think that’s a place where you don’t have to worry about working, where you can breathe fresh air.
2) Has the concept of utopia changed over time and/or across cultures and societies?
a) I believe that it has changed in a few ways. Its still has laws but laws also change.
i) If I lived in the United States, there is a law that I have to go by. That law isn’t guaranteed. It could change at anytime.
3) What are the ideals (e.g., freedom, responsibility, justice, community, etc.) that should be honored in a Utopian society?
a) I believe that legal and political justice should be honored. It just seems right.
i) I just think it should be honored because it sticks out to me the most.
4) Why do people continue to pursue the concept of a Utopian society?
a) They must believe that it will soon come to them. They think that one day they will live in a Utopian society.
i) Just like many people believe that one they will all go to heaven and live a peaceful life, many people believe that a utopian society will be given or they will one day live there.
ii) Many people have beliefs that things could happen some day.
5) How do competing notions of what a Utopian society should look like lead to conflict?
a) I believe it will lead to a conflict because one person might think it may look like this but then another might believe it looks like something else. They get in an argument and then it might just end in a fist fight.
i) People get into argument over really dumb things so what makes any body believe that they will not get in an argument over what they think a place should look like.
ii) I actually believe it looks different then what they say it looks like.
6) What is the purpose and / or consequence of creating and/ or maintaining a dystopia society?
a) If that was ever to be created, then everyone will be having a bad day everyday. It’s basically the opposite of a Utopian society.
i) The opposite of good, of course, is bad.
ii) People have bad days at bad places. Nobody would like to be at a place where they are surrounded by bad things
7) Is utopia attainable? At what cost would it be worth attaining?
a) I think if someone really put their mind to it then it really could be attained. I believe that cost would be a lot. Having to find a place to put it and getting everything together. It will be hard work, but it can be done.
i) Anything is possible if you put your mind to it. Also if you have the correct tools. It really could be done. Don’t ever underestimate yourself.

Reply to Nigerian PSA
This was a great PSA. i thought the music could have been turned down a notch. i do agree that we as a people can inform the nigerians about aids and sexual education. overall, great PSA.
Reply to Fiji PSA.
I agree with waffles. This is the best PSA. it was way better then the first one we did and it looked way better. i liked the fact that we actually found a song about fiji. It worked out fine. Great Project.
Reply to Bird Flu PSA
I really liked this PSA. it was really interesting. I enjoyed how they made the birds talk. i didnt like the fact the birds were doing the same thing over and over again. over all it, this was great. Good Job Jerome, Amber and Marlene!!
Reply to Egg Drop Design
That is a really nice design. I think it would fall and the egg would not brake because it is covered with all that stuff. On the other hand, it could be a smaller version. I think its a little to big. Other then that, it is a great egg drop design i think it could win.
