Blog #2 Utopia and Dystopia




Utopia:  Ideally perfect state; especially in its social and political and moral aspects; an imaginary place considered to be perfect or ideal. “http://www.audioenglish.net/dictionary/utopia.htm
Dystopia:  State in which the condition of life is extremely bad as from deprivation or oppression or terror. “http://www.audioenglish.net/dictionary/dystopia.htm
      
     According to the meaning of Utopia, I believe it is a magical place, where nothing goes wrong and everything is perfect. Where everyone knows theirs destiny and is happy to be part of the world with the things they have or they do not. For me utopia is a place that would never exist on earth, because corruption would never stop, wars and misunderstanding will always be there. Every single human being is unique and this makes one have problems, because one cannot always agree with the others. Everyone has a different perspective of life and a different view of things. In Utopia I believe everyone would have to be the same in every single way because otherwise there would be a lot of problems. The only way I think one can find utopia is when you die. One will be in totally peace it will be magical a place, that you would not be able to describe the feeling of being part of it.
    
     Dystopia is the opposite of Utopia. It will be more like a place where no one would want to be. The first place that came to my mind when reading the definition of dystopia was Africa. The first image that came to mind was of a little African kid in really bad conditions and suffering of starvation. Or a kid in war terrified of what is going on without his parents and watching how others get killed and how the place where he was born is totally destroy. Unlike utopia, for me dystopia is a place that does exist on earth and there is not only one but many. Dystopia will be the worst place a human being would be in, where one will be suffering the whole time; they will be scared and terrified.
