The human being has always been fascinated with what exists in the future for us; where we go after we die, how the world might end and what our role is in the grander scheme of things.

Erik Olin Wright’s, “Envisioning Real Utopias” was a lot more scholarly type of reading that I was not expecting considering this was a general education class.

Despite the harmonization of society and the equality of all, individuality lacks within a utopian society. Additionally, basic human rights like freedom of speech are also limited within a utopia, leading to the dehumanization and desensitization of society. Utopias are outright impossible because all individuals have their own thoughts/desires, conflicting with the ideals that all people should harmonize in beliefs for their utopian society.…
