    Utopia and Dystopia 

Blog #2

 "Utopia" in other words by "Google" is, "An imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect". 
There is many different ways to understand this word. One way I can picture it, is a world where there was no wrong, no tears falling down innocent faces. an imaginary society where the word "war" doesn't even exist. Some examples can only be fictional, but for example how other countries see the "Untied Sates of America". They see it as a place for freedom and happiness for them to escape to. Another example would have to be the fictional world "Atlantis", where an undersea society was lost but was supposedly the most beautiful and wonderful society by myth. The word "Utopia" was first used by Sir Thomas More (1516), He explained it as a "Fictional Island int the Atlantic Ocean".



However there is a word that exist that is the opposite, "Dystopia" by the defintion from 'Google" it means "An imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded one". "Dystopia" for my understanding is a world where only cruel and crime tends to happen, the world lacks hope and faith, you could see it in the citizens who live there if you could. For example, How countries such as india are. Where death and rape increase everyday, how the people living there are terrified every day dying from starvation and dehydration. There are many places in this cruel world where you can compare to a "Dystopia".
