Essays on Utopia

Happiness can be described as a state that involves emotional or mental well-being of a person. It is characterized by positive or charming feelings ranging from little contentment to compelling joy. Various approaches have been developed to characterize happiness and identify its various sources. Different research and exploration groups, including positive psychology, try to apply the scientific method to answer questions about happiness, what it is and how it can be achieved. It is vital and essential to the human condition that "life, freedom and the quest for happiness" were regarded to be unalienable rights by the United States Continue reading...

Initially, Utopia is an ideal place that is characterized by its social, moral and political aspects. Ideally, when one comes from Utopia, he or she is deemed to be rich in morals. Therefore, it may be surprising that one’s experience in a different environment might identify the new culture to be challenging or accommodative. Accordingly, some of the ideologies that are used to describe the society are deemed to be impractical and non realistic with respect to other cultures (Homer, 65). Ideally, the term was coined to establish a community that has exceedingly desirable due to the available Continue reading...

I think the ones who leave Omelas go to far away cities and villages because they would not desire to be associated with the place where a child is imprisoned and made to suffer for the benefit of the community (Le Guin 115). It is possible that the neighboring cities are not filled with the kind of joy that is found in the Omelas. Even so, those exiting from Omela would rather stay in a place that is not as Utopia and delightful as Omelas as opposed to living happily at the expense of an unfortunate child. The Omelas Continue reading...

This paper considers the ecological relationships among organisms in two paintings. While the obvious, mutualistic situations jump out immediately, consideration is given to the potential for other symbiotic types of co-existence. The possibilities are endless. This is not so much because of what is in the paintings, but because of what is missing.
What is most amazing about the presence of living things on Earth is the way they depend on and impact one another. If it were possible to use a string to connect living things to one another (based on how they directly or indirectly affect one Continue reading...

The cannon of human literature is littered with instances of human beings trying to aspire to the level of creators. There are many examples in different cultures of mankind suffering consequences when aspiring to the level of creation that these societies reserves for the gods. Ready examples include the Adam and Eve story in which humankind tastes from a tree of knowledge. Another example is that of Prometheus, the god who brought woes on humankind by given it the gift (or was it the curse?) of fire. In more modern times films and literature reflect this same human concern. Continue reading...

According to White Hayden, historical accounts are connected to inherent and connectivity platforms. In his assertions, history and fiction ought to be taken as genres of a distinct basis. He argues on the plausibility of analyzing historical accounts as either fiction or science. Unlike science that is subject to interpretation and references, historical events do not entail facts that have been agreed upon and accepted to be inducted. Historical events focus on chronologies and past fallacies which find a recognition scope, as opposed to other submerged past occurrences.
In this case, Arcadia is well established along White Hayden’s Continue reading...

Numerous religions have looked at heaven and paradise from different angles. There is a convergence on the idea of heaven among religions though the concept of paradise is accepted and disputed in equal measure. The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines heaven as the dwelling place of the Deity. The Merriam Webster dictionary defines paradise as a place that is completely peaceful and pleasant. Heaven and paradise are concepts that come up when discussing issues relating to the afterlife. A considerable fraction of religious commentators agree that the afterlife forms the bedrock basis of all religions.
The Muslims believe that there is Continue reading...

Edward Bellamy published a utopian novel “Looking backward,” which became the most influential books in the history of American Utopian.

However, the author's illustration of a society where a person is subordinate to the state and industry army marches in lock step for the common good raises questions about Continue reading...

Thesis statement- The story of paradise lost is Milton's attempt to understand the storyof man's creation, his fall, and eventually his expulsion from Eden in light of his understanding of religion, heroism, and love.
In his writing, Milton seeks to conform to the writing standards set by the centuries of poetic traditions. He chose to use the epic genre used by writers such as Dante and Ariosto who were prolific writers of the Renaissance and Medieval eras. In so doing, Milton’s Paradise Lost has the various aspects that constituted the traditional epic themes of war, origin (especially with Continue reading...

The Renaissance was a fascinating time for intellectuals and thinkers, as humanity began to explore ways to make the perfect society outside of the realm of religion. As scientific knowledge began to advance further and further, writers such as Francis Bacon and Thomas More began to write about how these changes were reflecting the ways in which societies were to be constructed. The notion of a utopia – a perfect society – was created, and More and Bacon penned their own visions of utopias that would have a more humanist, scientific basis in their societal construction, rather than religion. Through the Continue reading...

The world is a very different place than it was when people first came out of medieval times. If a person from that period were to step into today’s world, they would surely die from fright. Many people do not go to church and democracy has long since replaced the monarchies of that time. However, if they were to read popular literature and watch popular television shows and films, that individual would find themselves right at home. Conversely, a person who time travelled from the edge of reason might find this world to be a cultivation of their Continue reading...

His Republic is justly regarded as the most comprehensive masterwork of his middle years, discussing some of the most basic questions of contemporary Western philosophy.

While much of the work appears to be an argument for a perfectly just community, it may also be observed as the greatest argument ever presented against political Continue reading...

Yes, Milton’s Paradise Lost is an epic poem. First criterion of an epic poem is related to its magnitude, it should be long spreading over hundreds of verses, and Paradise lost, certainly, fulfills that requirement. Following the norms of epic poetry, Milton describes his Paradise Lost in the style of a narration. Secondly, an epic poem usually revolves around the life events of a hero, and some critics contend that Milton projects Satin as the protagonist of his poem. Another characteristic of an epic poem is that it begins in the midst of an ongoing story, and later, Continue reading...
