According to the Dictionary Reference “Utopia is an ideal
place or state or any visionary system of political or social perfection”. It
has to do more with fiction than reality, because all we know there is not such
a thing as perfect as they’re saying. In this world where we live, perfection
does not exist, is definitively something unreal or just fictitious. I believe
that in the struggling of trying to find perfection in laws or society, we make
things even more difficult and hard to reach. So I can say that utopia is a
nonexistent place that just exists in our heads, because we’ll never going to
reach or get perfect laws that make perfect places. Laws in our society are
always going to be imperfect, because it can contribute to a benefit for some
people and at the same time, it may impede the process of improvement for some
other people. So our society will never approach to the perfection or to a
visionary system of political or social perfection, it just exists in science
fiction.
On the contrary, according to the same source “Dystopia is a
society characterized by human misery, as squalor, oppression, disease, and
overcrowding”. It’s the opposite of Utopia, and I believe that is more likely
to be the world where we live. In our society there are not perfect places with
perfect laws. Misery, oppression, disease, etc., we find them around the
corner. As I said before, laws tend to go side by side, beneficing some part of
the people, and prejudicing and harming some other people. Thus I believe that
the system that we have in laws and society will never change. People will
always try to take advantage of the laws and benefit themselves with
everything, leaving aside the fact that we live in the same world and making an
unequal world with misery and poverty for the majority of the population and
joy and wealth for the minority of the population.
