Just before the end of term 2, we had our first lesson on The Giver. Our activity was to draw out or write out what our own utopia would be like. I really enjoyed that lesson as everybody's idea about a utopia was different.
Every individual has their own vision of utopia. What does utopia mean in the first place?
Well, utopia means an ideally perfect place, especially in its social, political, and moral aspects. A utopia is like a paradise, a land of enchantment, a land of dreams.
This has got me to think, how would I want my utopia to be like?
Like this?
Or should it look something like this? An ancient castle on top of the world, living with the world's most beautiful waterfalls.
Hmm.. Maybe a greener and fresher environment?
Perhaps, in a land of fairies with pink skies and lush flowers?
After thinking for quite some time... My utopia will be:
1. Full of love between people. Love can be in the form of parental love, brotherly love or love between friends.
2. Advanced in technology, be it entertainment, medical technologies, or communications.
3. Education system is somewhat like Singapore's, but with less examinations.
4. Government: Honest leaders, without corrpution. They think of the welfare of their people.
5. Environment: Large fields everywhere, with nice, green grass. The streets are adorned with flowers of all colours. Trees are everywhere, with abundant fruit growing from them.
6. Transport: Everyone travels in private jets, which are solar-powered. Pumpkin carriages, driven by unicorns are also used.
7. Both genders, male and female, are equal.
8. Full of animals which do not pose as a threat to us humans.
9. Everyone is environmentally friendly.
10. Everyone has perfect eyesight.
11. Nobody is jobless.
12. Everyone believes in Christianity and praise God.
13. All food will be organic and natural.
14. Everyone would have to go to bed by 12 midnight.
15. All kids would have walkie-talkies, while adults have weird beeping devices.
16. Skies will always be blue.
17. Nobody litters. The whole place is very clean.
18. Nobody is allowed to shout or scream.
19. Everyday, before work or school, everyone has to go to church for chapel.
20. Lastly, everyone has equal rights.
The pictures below shows how I want my utopia to look like:
