What really makes a perfect society? Would it be a small
number of citizens? A perfect climate, depending upon preference?
I think the perfect society would be fairly small, where
everyone knows each other. Homes would be somewhat modest, each family would,
of course be free to do whatever they wanted. In my perfect world, there would
be no harsh judgments made on strangers. But, then I have to ask myself if that
is a realistic goal, even in a seemingly unflawed world.
The aspects I find most desirable in a utopian society would
vary. Like, being able to consume a dozen donuts without fear of getting sick
or the calories. I would want it to be fun, carefree, but not without
consequences for the society’s actions. A series of checks and balances would
have to be in place. Which could also lend to an undesirable aspect.
If a society is constantly fighting or is at what, then it
is far from “perfect”. I think peace would be one of the most crucial things to
implement. Peace brings a feeling of positive emotions, and happier might be
less likely to wreck havoc.
Civil liberties would also be something that are worth
taking into consideration. To live peacefully, people should be able to do as
they wish. It would be the most beneficial if individuals from all backgrounds
could come together and learn from one another. There are so many other aspects
that are more than likely important, but these core values are what occupy my
mind when I think about my perfect world.
I love how you mentioned what would be, and what wouldn't be, in your perfect world. I believe that a main purpose of this book is to make you think about what your own perfect world would be like - and that is exactly what I did. In my perfect world, like yours, there would be peace. I love the thought of a small community where everyone knows each other and can depend and rely on each other. There would be no negative gossip and, if it were ever possible, no one would ever have to go to school They would simply understand everything they needed to know and never have to go through the tough struggle of education I'm am enduring right now. And, of course, your eating doughnuts and not getting the calories idea would be one of my main aspects as well.
