The year is 1955, the Soviet Union is at its peak to itself it is a utopia, but to the rest of the world it is a crumbling dystopia. This is the result of a philosophical idea that works on paper but differs much when put in practice. A utopia is not possible due to the broad spectrum of beliefs and ideals of different groups. Towards the debate of whether a utopia is possible. Although many people believe utopias are possible , utopias are impossible, this is because of 3 different categories; what it took to achieve the utopia, how to make the people cooperate, and how will you ensure its longevity. Utopias aren't possible due to human nature, and everyone not believing in the same idea. The next paragraph will explain what utopias had …show more content…
We can differentiate a dystopia from a utopia from a utopia by exploring what a utopia had to achieve nirvana. The following piece of evidence means each resident is required to do manual labor in order to reform. According to four Utopian Communities That Didn't Pan Out, “... residents were asked to complete three hundred days of labor by either farming, working in the manufacturing shops, performing domestic chores or ground maintenance...” Three hundred days of labor is more than a year of hard labor for admission to a very controversial living style. This evidence is significant as it contradicts itself by saying for free admission they had to do work in order to join. In addition, it supports my topic of this paragraph by stating what it takes to achieve utopia, in this case it is benefiting off of the labor from its members. This utopia in specific relies on hard labor to achieve utopia. In conclusion, utopias can be presented but as we investigate further we can identify characteristics of a dystopia …show more content…

The possible benefits of this could be not having much radiation and having a sense of humbleness. Although this is admirable of them to think like this it is much more deeper than that. The people at the farm that fear radiation get radiation from the sun either way and more minor radiation rays, and the Amish are deprived of new medicine that can be helpful to the body and the to pleasures of life. In addition, the Amish-born children have no choice in living any other way as that type of living is the only way they know how and their decisions are made for them. The evidence about to be presented comes from one of the authors of the book In Utopia and states something incredibly abundant. In an interview with Salon in 2010 author J.C. Hallman says, “The criticism of utopia is that it's impossible to achieve perfection, so why try.” In conclusion, many people clash over the debate of utopia which is a reason itself why Utopias cannot exist, people cannot think all in the same
