Utopia 2
It would be hard to define the word utopia in a manner that could relate to everybody. There are just too many types of people out there with different perceptions of what is ideal. So, instead of focusing on every group of people and their thoughts and ideas on utopia, I have decided to focus on how the individuals of Shakespeare's time have changed immensely to what people today think of as utopia. I have gained some of my information from the plays of Shakespeare as his stories, although fictional, represent the thoughts and ideas of the people of that time. What is utopia? Is it a worldwide human culture that, in the absence of environmental change could be expected to have a long, stable life? As we have noticed, civilization is moving in its own direction, and whether we think it is utopian is beyond us. Plus, we must also wonder if there is still enough time to live in a utopian-type society. At the point at which human civilization is currently in, we must question whether this civilized model can or should survive. On the other hand, it is just this fact that makes humans unique. Therefore, this type of civilization should be retained, if that is possible, of course. There can be strong arguments for both s
All things in common nature should produce Even till I shrink with cold, I smile and say, ides but it is really obvious that the duty of any species is to survive. We can assume that civilization can be defined as what a human being is. But, to assume this is to assume that giving up our civilization would cause us to adapt to another, uncivilized lifestyle. This new lifestyle could eventually lead us to death then since we would be something different than what we now are. Sermons in stones and good in every thing.(Act II, Scene I) 'This is no flattery; these are counsellors Even if we take the term utopian literature in the sense of a detailed description of a nation or a commonwealth ordered according to a system which the author proposes a better way of life than any known to exist, the history is still extensive. This all could be formed if the present society could be cancelled and people could start over. To excel the golden age.(Act II, Scene I)
