A Utopian society (or Utopia) • A beautiful society with a generally nonviolent attitude • There is no poverty or misery • Money is not necessary • People only do work they enjoy or that benefits the common good (everyone)
The Acorn Community Communities do exist that try to create a utopian society.
A Dystopian society (or Dystopia) • Antonym (means the opposite) of Utopia • People often lead fearful lives • Totalitarian dictatorship • (The government controls nearly every aspect of human life) • Technology replaces humanity • Justification for violence
Dystopian societies • Are fictional and futuristic • They serve as a warning to readers or viewers • They make comments on our own society
