How would you define a Utopian society?
• A place in which social, legal, and political justice and perfect harmony exist.
Has the concept of utopia changed over time and/or across cultures and societies?
• I believe that it has changed in a few ways. Its still has laws but laws also change.
What are the ideals (e.g., freedom, responsibility, justice, community, etc.) that should be honored in a Utopian society?
• I believe that legal and political justice should be honored. It just seems right.
Why do people continue to pursue the concept of a Utopian society?
• They must believe that it will soon come to them. They think that one day they will live in a Utopian society.
How do competing notions of what a Utopian society should look like lead to conflict?
• 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 a argument and then it might just end in a fist fight.
What is the purpose and / or consequence of creating and/ or maintaining a dystopia society?
• 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.
Is utopia attainable? At what cost would it be worth attaining?
• 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.
