DYSTOPIA VS. UTOPIA
A DYSTOPIA is a community or society that is in some important way undesirable or frightening.
Such societies appear in many artistic works, particularly in stories set in a future. Dehumanization,
totalitarian governments, environmental disaster often characterize dystopias, or other
characteristics associated with a cataclysmic decline in society. It is a society in which everything has
gone horribly wrong and injustice or chaos holds sway. This might be a post-apocalyptic society
where all governments have collapsed and human beings have to fight to survive; or it might be a
totalitarian society in which powerful authority figures control every aspect of citizens' lives.
A UTOPIA is a community or society possessing highly desirable or near perfect qualities. It is an
imagined place or state of things in which everything is perfect. For thousands of years human beings
have dreamt of perfect worlds, worlds free of conflict, hunger and unhappiness.
