For
millennia philosophers have always pondered the idea of a utopia, a place where
everything is perfect in every way imaginable. Everyone have their own view of
what a utopia should be based on what their own mind pictures as perfect. For
this reason, no two utopias are the same for each is shaped and formed in the
image its creator. Also, everyone has a utopia even if they have never
specifically tried to think of one; each person’s mind subconsciously knows
what it thinks would make a perfect world. In my utopia, not everything would
be perfect, but instead a more realistic semi-achievable perfect. There would
be two main aspects to my utopia, the people and the government.
The
first aspect of my utopia is the people. Ever since mankind has existed there have
always been superiors and inferiors, whether it is based on race, sex,
religion, or countless other reasons. In my utopia some level of equality could
be reached. This level of equality would include everything except for economic
standing. Part of the reason for this is that different economic classes drive
the economy of a government in different ways that are necessary to sustain it;
however, the majority of the reason is because economic standing can be changed
while race, religion, sex/sexual preference, and others cannot usually be
changed under normal circumstances. On the other hand, the economic classes can
change hands relatively easily is the proper effort is put forth.
The
second aspect of my utopia is the government. Throughout history mankind has
always had someone at the head of the ship so to speak, that is just how the
human race operates; however, the governments of the past and present would not
suffice for my utopia. The government that would rule over my utopia would
first of all proceed over the entire plant. It would work in a similar fashion
to the legislative body of the United States, each country would send representatives
to a central world headquarters and matters would actually be addressed and a
solution would be proposed and enacted, unlike the US government which just
bickers with itself. Also, all the countries would be allowed to rule
themselves in a similar manner to how the states can operate under the US
government. It wouldn’t be a perfect system; crime would still exist, but it
would be in much smaller numbers, laws would still be imperfect, but they would
get fixed, and there would still be differing opinions as to what kind of
government is the best for a country, but they could peacefully co-exist.
My
utopia is far from perfect, but that is what makes it my utopia. Things still
need to be improved and worked on, but that is the motivation for the people to
strive forward and make progress instead of just being content. My utopia is
not out of grasp at all, the only things that need to change between 2012 and
my vision of a utopia is only for people to be treated equally and not judged
and also for the government to stop bickering amongst itself and actually
listen to each other and make decisions together. My utopia in a nutshell is
basically for everyone to peacefully co-exist.
