Short Story Of Dystopia
John lives with his wife, patricia and a daughter named sia in a big, fancy mansion. John and
patricia own the best coffee shop in the town, dystopia. Sia loves the pumpkin spice latte with
strawberry whip cream. The coffee shop became popular when sia was born five years ago, 2116.
The chocklit family do grocery shopping in macadame loft for their coffee shop. Everyone in 2121
in Dystopia pay with their face. There are security scanning machines with facial recognition system.
Everyone pays with their face in the coffee shop. One day, a young man ordered a chocolate,
whipped cappucino and almost walked out the door.
John saw the man running away and hit the star screw laser to lock the exit doors. The man
touched the door and got shocked and fell down. John caught him and tied him up to a chair. He
asked him why he did not pay. The man started to cry and asked for forgiveness. He wanted a
refreshing drink and said he could not afford it. Patricia got teeny mag to scan the man's face.
John used the device to scan his face that he was supposed to pay with. All the details and record
of the man came up. Brown eyes, brown hair, 5 feet and 11 inches tall, born and lives in Dystopia
and unemployed, David Rafany. There was a gloomy and sympathetic impression on John's face.
John decided without hesitation, offered David a job at the coffee shop until he is able to stand
up on his feet. Patricia introduced all rules to David and said he will be supervised at all times.
He was grateful and praised them. John finally untied him. John tried to scan the man's face so
many times but did not work. The alarm went off and the alarm heat up. He dropped it and the
device blew up. Smoke everywhere, customers ran out and the fire began to spread within the shop.
Patricia pushed the red knob to call fire rescuers. Fire rescuers rushed in and destroyed all the face
scan payment devices. "Oh no! These devices are out of control" Sia said. David apologized.

Dystopian America Essay
Dystopian America
What exactly is a dystopia, and how is it relevant today? E.M. Forster's The Machine Stops uses a
dystopian society to show how one lives effortlessly, lacking knowledge of other places, in order
to show that the world will never be perfect, even if it may seem so. A society whose citizens are
kept ignorant and lazy, unknowing that they are being controlled, unfit to act if they did, all hidden
under the guise of a perfect utopian haven, just as the one seen in The Machine Stops, could be
becoming a very real possibility. There is a rational concern about this happening in today's world
that is shared by many, and with good reason. Dystopian worlds are often seen as fictitious, though
this may not be the case in the...show more content...
The younger generations are far more interested in the latest irrelevant tabloid scandal than who
decides how much they pay in taxes and where that money is spent, and this only proves to fuel the
chances of us becoming mere pawns controlled by select figureheads or even a technology.
A utopia is what everyone is aiming for, but is that really what they are getting? With the hopes of
a perfect society, we the people are rushing for a drastic change in the way things work without
giving too much care in which direction things are changing, and that can and will cause definite
issues. In the hopes to rush into a perfect world, too many people are treating government like a
roulette wheel and hoping for the best, even though all odds are against them. In doing so, they are
setting themselves up for a more controlled tomorrow.
Of course, this isn't necessarily the fault of just the people. Biases in information sources lead the
population to believe things they wouldn't normally, and that can have an effect on opinions from
the time the people were just young children. Just the fact that electronic toys are as popular today
as teddy bears and stuffed animals were just a few years ago says something drastic. More
thinking is being done for the children, they won't learn to be as imaginative at a younger age, and
will likely have less individuality because of it. Subliminal advertizing could also become a

Reflection About Dystopia
Dystopia; a place in which everything is unpleasant or inadequate. This is where our community is
today. Social media gives people the ability to say hurtful things behind a screen that they may
never have the courage to say in person. Because of these anonymous screens, society does not
realize the impact of their words. Along with insensitive people, today's society is full of
self–centered youth. Our community is in chaos, and the youth living in it refuse to glance up from
their screens long enough to understand that the world surrounding them is turning into a pigsty.
The majority of teens would rather snap, tweet, or poke rather than go outside and clean our
community or plant gardens. I once was one of those self–centered, clueless,...show more content...
It is proven that community service has numerous positive effects. Researchers have stated that
community service raises self–esteem, creates bonds, teaches leadership skills and shows youth the
power of action. Being part of something bigger than yourself brings great rewards. With that being
said, one of the main challenges of this idea – the idea that community service will turn our society
around – is that inspiring teens to participate in community service is extremely difficult. This leads
back to the issue of greed. If we could just put service above ourselves, then tons of issues could be
resolved. However, I firmly believe that if we turn community service into something enjoyable, then
the youth would be more willing to participate. Street cleanups could be fun and exciting by
allowing kids to bring in motivational speakers to talk to them and their friends. Beach cleanups
could be turned into late night swimming events. Surrounding newly planted gardens with
personalized bricks, bringing out individuals' differences and showcasing their uniqueness, could
promote a sense of ownership of such community projects. If we reach out to our youth's interests,
then we might be able to achieve a common goal – the goal of creating a better, safer, and brighter
future for all humankind. For our society to experience a promising future and thus happier times, it
is imperative that our youth take action. Dr. King wanted a kinder and brighter future for

The central figure of 1984 is Winston Smith, a member of the Outer Party and worker in the records

to adjust himself to the totalitarian system under which he lives and works. The novel follows his
downfall, his ruin started at the moment doubt first crossed his mind. This doubt increases when he
meets Julia, she is a member of the Anti–Sex League, but she breaks the bound of Puritanism
ordained by the Party. This coincides with Winston's opinion about purity: ''I hate purity, I hate

Successful Dystopia
In the novel, 1984, George Orwell emphasises oppression by allowing Big Brother to penalize
personal expression, enforce constant regulation, and establish a totalitarian government to create a
successful dystopia. Big Brother oppressed its citizens by creating punishment for people who
expressed themselves. Winston masked his reaction to Big Brother's commands to avoid retaliation
from his government. Likewise, Winston lives in fear of the surveillance that can possible convict
him of being a Thought Criminal. " Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be

please! You can do better than that. You're not trying. Lower , please! That's better, comrade" (p

other aspects of his life. Big brother emphasises Winston's hopelessness and wants its citizens to
feel dependant on Big Brother's choices to display his powerful position. By treating citizens like
they are helpless children Big Brother is able to demean citizens by stressing that their ideas and
plans are irrelevant which allows for additional power over them by crushing their self esteem.

a dystopia that appears to be a utopia. The whole society is controlled by the philosophical idea
that if you were not created inside of a lab then you are less than human. Those who were created
through a natural birth are not able to get good jobs, mostly stuck working jobs like janitors or
waiters, they are not trusted enough to get any good jobs, like doctors and scientist because

on old books, as well as everything is kept sanitizes and organized with no room for error, this
motto is often said, cleaenslesness is next to godliness. Individuality is seen as bad, most citizens
keep to a simple appearance, clean crisp suit, and most women kept their hair tied back in a tight
bun, throughout the movie you see almost no people who appear to be expressing themselves
through clothing or at their workplace, desks appear to be kept clean of any personal items, like a

What Role Does Utopia Play In A Dystopian Society
The world in any society has two sides, Utopia which is defined as the perfect world and the
peaceful life that is free from disasters. This word " Utopia " is derived from Greek roots by Sir
Thomas More which means "a good place" (More 37). Merriam Webster defined Utopia as "an
imaginary place, all life aspects are perfect, as the world suffers from nothing" (Webster 19). while
Dystopia is defined as an imagined universe in which the unequal society controls the fancy of an
ideal society which are maintained through technological, moral, corporate or totalitarian control "
Beauty of dystopia is that it lets us vicariously experience future worlds but we still have the power
to change our own" (Condie 75). in which the genre challenges utopia's fundamental supposition of
human perfectibility, arguing humanity's inherent flaws that negate the possibility of constructing
ideal societies.
both Utopia and Dystopia are opposite terms, one means perfection and the other means that
everything is terrible. as many writers, critics and philosophers give different definitions for them,
and many books have written about them,To show that the society as it is or how it should be. The

Authors use dystopia as a literary technique to discuss the real issues that might happen in the
future. Thus the role of dystopia in literary works is to educate and give awareness to the audience.
Dystopias also serve as warnings about the current state of affairs of a government, or of those in
power. In dystopian, authors point out the wrong doings in a society or a system – the reason that it
is often called a critique. Dystopian literature is often used as a literary tool to extrapolate the
elements of contemporary society and function as a warning against a modern trend, often the threat

The Giver-a Dystopia Essay
Jonas' community appears to be a utopia, but, in reality, it is a dystopia. The people seem perfectly
content to live in an isolated wreck–in a government run by a select few–in which a group of Elders
enforces the rules. In Jonas' community, there is no poverty, starvation, unemployment, lack of
housing, or discrimination; everything is perfectly planned to eliminate any problems. However, as
the book progresses and Jonas gains insight into what the people have willingly given up–their
freedoms and individualities–for the so–called common good of the community, it becomes more
and more obvious that the community is a horrible place in which to live. You as a reader can relate

The final reason that I think the Giver portrays a dystopian society is their method of release. They
may think that they're sorting out good and bad, but what do they know? If they don't know
anything about love, why should they know about pain, suffering, death, and war? Everyone
outside of the releasing room thought their dear friend was going Elsewhere... but the people
inside that horrid room witnessed, or committed, the murder of innocents. There were no such
things as identical twins; the lighter one would be killed. The people had no perception of death,
for all they know that little baby, which just happened to be 3 ounces lighter than his brother,
could really be going Elsewhere. Even if they're traveling there through a garbage chute. Not only
children were released though, as Jonas' mother tells them it can happen to the middle aged too,
"'You know that there's no third chance. The rules say that if there's a third transgression, he
simply has to be released.'" (pg.9). Some people were so ignorant on the subject that they used
the word as a joke, like the speaker when the pilot flew over the town, "NEEDLESS TO SAY, HE
WILL BE RELEASED, the voice had said, followed by silence. There was an ironic tone to that
final message, as if the Speaker found it amusing..." (pg.2). Who wants to

Let's start with the basics of a utopia first, a utopia is a world where everyone is perfect, not only
that but anger, strife, loss, and sadness are gone, no one ever starves, and no one ever dies.
A utopia is based on egalitarian principles. Basically, its "the perfect world".
The idea of a utopia first came when sir Thomas more described a perfect island/world in 1516.
A dystopia however, is a world that is actually viable, a dystopia is basically a utopia turned bad.

Utopia came from the greek word ou which means "not" and topos means "place" meaning no

speculative fiction which means it is only a fantasy or a person's idea of his or her own ideal

Pros And Cons Of Dystopia
Utopia is an idealized society where everything is perfect in terms of politics, laws, customs and
conditions everything is going smoothly but Dystopia is a complete and exact opposite of it.
Dystopia is an exaggerated worst case scenario of it; a futuristic, imagined universe which provides
an illusion of perfect idealized society in which this illusion is maintained through bureaucratic,
corporate, technological and totalitarian control. The main agenda of dystopia is to make a criticism
of political system, societal norms and current trends. Dystopia is a society which is as
dehumanizing and as obnoxious as possible.
Dystopia is set in future, a future where technology is used to create perfect living conditions and
through oppressive social control a perfect illusion of perfect society is maintained. This genre of
literature is an amalgamation of science, speculative and fantasy fiction there is a reason behind it
that it never becomes irrelevant and readers comes back to it whenever the present regime around
them goes out of control and the existential dilemma falls upon them, dystopia is a warning that
things are bad in present and if things are continued at present rate a lot worse could happen. There
are certain characteristics of dystopian society to which every reader irrespective of the political
regime or the era they belongs to can identify themselves, per say Propaganda is always there to

coined by Plato in his book The Republic (380 BC). Plato's Utopia represents an ideal society of
freedom ,justice and equality (Gerhard 2 ) . In 1516 , the term "Utopia" was used by Sir Thomas
More in his book by the same name which depicts an imaginary country names Utopus , a country
based on social equality and freedom from conflict (Sisk). In his article "Dystopia", David Sisk gives
a brief background on the origin of the word utopia ,asserting that it is " derived from the Greek ou

Dystopia is a fictional genre of literature which represents a dark pessimistic image of a society
marked by oppression, inequity, fear and dehumanization. Dystopia can be described as anti–Utopia

Dystopia means (The no good place). Professor Gregory Claeys explains the difference between the
two terms "Dystopia is usually supposed to be an inverted, mirrored or negative version of utopia, the
imaginary bad place as opposed to the imaginary good place''(Claeys). Moreover, Dystopia is

which has led to the loss of a massive number of the population. In both dystopias, there is a face of
power, usually the government, that establish the rules and keeps order in check. The dystopian
society is divided into two classes: a class that represents the power and a submissive class that
represents the common people. Julia Gerhard proposes in Control and Resistance in the dystopian

Dystopia is an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a
totalitarian or environmentally degraded one is other words dystopia can be described as opposite
of utopia, but all dystopian societies start with the dream of a perfect world so dystopia is utopia gone

drones could help protect officers by monitoring armed suspects without putting their lives in

Dystopia
Utopia is often referred to as the "Perfect World" where there are perfect laws and people live in
complete harmony without any problems. It is also believed that such a place is imaginary.
Dystopia is an imaginary place or state in which the condition of life is extremely bad, as from
deprivation, oppression, or terror. In the novel, the government gave orders to burn books in order to
control the citizens. The government thought that the content in the books may become a threat to
their rule, they want citizens listen to their orders and obey it, so that's the reason that why the
government burn books, they try to control the citizens in order to achieve the perfect society, no

Dystopia Essay

  • 1. Short Story Of Dystopia John lives with his wife, patricia and a daughter named sia in a big, fancy mansion. John and patricia own the best coffee shop in the town, dystopia. Sia loves the pumpkin spice latte with strawberry whip cream. The coffee shop became popular when sia was born five years ago, 2116. The chocklit family do grocery shopping in macadame loft for their coffee shop. Everyone in 2121 in Dystopia pay with their face. There are security scanning machines with facial recognition system. Everyone pays with their face in the coffee shop. One day, a young man ordered a chocolate, whipped cappucino and almost walked out the door. John saw the man running away and hit the star screw laser to lock the exit doors. The man touched the door and got shocked and fell down. John caught him and tied him up to a chair. He asked him why he did not pay. The man started to cry and asked for forgiveness. He wanted a refreshing drink and said he could not afford it. Patricia got teeny mag to scan the man's face. John used the device to scan his face that he was supposed to pay with. All the details and record of the man came up. Brown eyes, brown hair, 5 feet and 11 inches tall, born and lives in Dystopia and unemployed, David Rafany. There was a gloomy and sympathetic impression on John's face. John decided without hesitation, offered David a job at the coffee shop until he is able to stand up on his feet. Patricia introduced all rules to David and said he will be supervised at all times. He was grateful and praised them. John finally untied him. John tried to scan the man's face so many times but did not work. The alarm went off and the alarm heat up. He dropped it and the device blew up. Smoke everywhere, customers ran out and the fire began to spread within the shop. Patricia pushed the red knob to call fire rescuers. Fire rescuers rushed in and destroyed all the face scan payment devices. "Oh no! These devices are out of control" Sia said. David apologized. John decided without hesitation and offered David a job at the coffee shop until he is able to stand up on his feet.

  • 2. Dystopian America Essay Dystopian America What exactly is a dystopia, and how is it relevant today? E.M. Forster's The Machine Stops uses a dystopian society to show how one lives effortlessly, lacking knowledge of other places, in order to show that the world will never be perfect, even if it may seem so. A society whose citizens are kept ignorant and lazy, unknowing that they are being controlled, unfit to act if they did, all hidden under the guise of a perfect utopian haven, just as the one seen in The Machine Stops, could be becoming a very real possibility. There is a rational concern about this happening in today's world that is shared by many, and with good reason. Dystopian worlds are often seen as fictitious, though this may not be the case in the...show more content... The younger generations are far more interested in the latest irrelevant tabloid scandal than who decides how much they pay in taxes and where that money is spent, and this only proves to fuel the chances of us becoming mere pawns controlled by select figureheads or even a technology. A utopia is what everyone is aiming for, but is that really what they are getting? With the hopes of a perfect society, we the people are rushing for a drastic change in the way things work without giving too much care in which direction things are changing, and that can and will cause definite issues. In the hopes to rush into a perfect world, too many people are treating government like a roulette wheel and hoping for the best, even though all odds are against them. In doing so, they are setting themselves up for a more controlled tomorrow. Of course, this isn't necessarily the fault of just the people. Biases in information sources lead the population to believe things they wouldn't normally, and that can have an effect on opinions from the time the people were just young children. Just the fact that electronic toys are as popular today as teddy bears and stuffed animals were just a few years ago says something drastic. More thinking is being done for the children, they won't learn to be as imaginative at a younger age, and will likely have less individuality because of it. Subliminal advertizing could also become a Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 3. Reflection About Dystopia Dystopia; a place in which everything is unpleasant or inadequate. This is where our community is today. Social media gives people the ability to say hurtful things behind a screen that they may never have the courage to say in person. Because of these anonymous screens, society does not realize the impact of their words. Along with insensitive people, today's society is full of self–centered youth. Our community is in chaos, and the youth living in it refuse to glance up from their screens long enough to understand that the world surrounding them is turning into a pigsty. The majority of teens would rather snap, tweet, or poke rather than go outside and clean our community or plant gardens. I once was one of those self–centered, clueless,...show more content... It is proven that community service has numerous positive effects. Researchers have stated that community service raises self–esteem, creates bonds, teaches leadership skills and shows youth the power of action. Being part of something bigger than yourself brings great rewards. With that being said, one of the main challenges of this idea – the idea that community service will turn our society around – is that inspiring teens to participate in community service is extremely difficult. This leads back to the issue of greed. If we could just put service above ourselves, then tons of issues could be resolved. However, I firmly believe that if we turn community service into something enjoyable, then the youth would be more willing to participate. Street cleanups could be fun and exciting by allowing kids to bring in motivational speakers to talk to them and their friends. Beach cleanups could be turned into late night swimming events. Surrounding newly planted gardens with personalized bricks, bringing out individuals' differences and showcasing their uniqueness, could promote a sense of ownership of such community projects. If we reach out to our youth's interests, then we might be able to achieve a common goal – the goal of creating a better, safer, and brighter future for all humankind. For our society to experience a promising future and thus happier times, it is imperative that our youth take action.

They are; political dispute and rebellion, the stifling of freedom to express individuality and the loss of human connectedness, which is central to our need for social interaction and validation.

Winston Smith is unable to adjust himself to the totalitarian system under which he lives and works. The novel follows his downfall, his ruin started at the moment doubt first crossed his mind. This doubt increases when he meets Julia, she is a member of the Anti–Sex League, but she breaks the bound of Puritanism ordained by the Party. This coincides with Winston's opinion about purity: ''I hate purity, I hate goodness!

  • 6. Examples Of Dystopia In 1984 Successful Dystopia In the novel, 1984, George Orwell emphasises oppression by allowing Big Brother to penalize personal expression, enforce constant regulation, and establish a totalitarian government to create a successful dystopia. Big Brother oppressed its citizens by creating punishment for people who expressed themselves. Winston masked his reaction to Big Brother's commands to avoid retaliation from his government. Likewise, Winston lives in fear of the surveillance that can possible convict him of being a Thought Criminal. " Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up...no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment.

Winston is required to follow a class from his telescreen to do specific lead exercises. " 'Smith!'screamed the shrewish voice from the telescreen. '6079 Smith W! Yes, you! Bend lower, please! You can do better than that. You're not trying. Lower , please! That's better, comrade" (p 39). Big brother reinforce Winton's lack of freedom by controlling his daily routine as well as other aspects of his life. Big brother emphasises Winston's hopelessness and wants its citizens to feel dependant on Big Brother's choices to display his powerful position. By treating citizens like they are helpless children Big Brother is able to demean citizens by stressing that their ideas and plans are irrelevant which allows for additional power over them by crushing their self esteem. Similar to the when the main protagonist named Montag from Fahrenheit 451, will not succumb to the wishes of his is government's to burn books so his society tries to have him conform to be like every other firefighter. After becoming tired of his Sisyphean task of being trapped in the same damaging routine for himself and citizens he becomes interested and hopeful about books. However, his society tries to demolish his curious personality to avoid invoking rebellious tendencies by threatening him with death.

Individuality is seen as bad, most citizens keep to a simple appearance, clean crisp suit, and most women kept their hair tied back in a tight bun, throughout the movie you see almost no people who appear to be expressing themselves through clothing or at their workplace, desks appear to be kept clean of any personal items, like a photo of a lover or family member.

  • 8. What Role Does Utopia Play In A Dystopian Society The world in any society has two sides, Utopia which is defined as the perfect world and the peaceful life that is free from disasters. This word " Utopia " is derived from Greek roots by Sir Thomas More which means "a good place" (More 37). Merriam Webster defined Utopia as "an imaginary place, all life aspects are perfect, as the world suffers from nothing" (Webster 19). while Dystopia is defined as an imagined universe in which the unequal society controls the fancy of an ideal society which are maintained through technological, moral, corporate or totalitarian control " Beauty of dystopia is that it lets us vicariously experience future worlds but we still have the power to change our own" (Condie 75). in which the genre challenges utopia's fundamental supposition of human perfectibility, arguing humanity's inherent flaws that negate the possibility of constructing ideal societies. both Utopia and Dystopia are opposite terms, one means perfection and the other means that everything is terrible. as many writers, critics and philosophers give different definitions for them, and many books have written about them,To show that the society as it is or how it should be. The dystopian stories are...show more content... Authors use dystopia as a literary technique to discuss the real issues that might happen in the future. Thus the role of dystopia in literary works is to educate and give awareness to the audience. Dystopias also serve as warnings about the current state of affairs of a government, or of those in power. In dystopian, authors point out the wrong doings in a society or a system – the reason that it is often called a critique. Dystopian literature is often used as a literary tool to extrapolate the elements of contemporary society and function as a warning against a modern trend, often the threat of the oppressive Get more content on HelpWriting.net

The people seem perfectly content to live in an isolated wreck–in a government run by a select few–in which a group of Elders enforces the rules. In Jonas' community, there is no poverty, starvation, unemployment, lack of housing, or discrimination; everything is perfectly planned to eliminate any problems. However, as the book progresses and Jonas gains insight into what the people have willingly given up–their freedoms and individualities–for the so–called common good of the community, it becomes more and more obvious that the community is a horrible place in which to live. You as a reader can relate to the disbelief and horror that Jonas feels when he realizes...show more content... The final reason that I think the Giver portrays a dystopian society is their method of release. They may think that they're sorting out good and bad, but what do they know? If they don't know anything about love, why should they know about pain, suffering, death, and war? Everyone outside of the releasing room thought their dear friend was going Elsewhere... but the people inside that horrid room witnessed, or committed, the murder of innocents. There were no such things as identical twins; the lighter one would be killed. The people had no perception of death, for all they know that little baby, which just happened to be 3 ounces lighter than his brother, could really be going Elsewhere. Even if they're traveling there through a garbage chute. Not only children were released though, as Jonas' mother tells them it can happen to the middle aged too, "'You know that there's no third chance. The rules say that if there's a third transgression, he simply has to be released.'" (pg.9). Some people were so ignorant on the subject that they used the word as a joke, like the speaker when the pilot flew over the town, "NEEDLESS TO SAY, HE WILL BE RELEASED, the voice had said, followed by silence. There was an ironic tone to that final message, as if the Speaker found it amusing..." (pg.2). Who wants to Get more content on HelpWriting.net

The Best Place For A Dystopia Essay The Best Place for a Dystopian Let's start with the basics of a utopia first, a utopia is a world where everyone is perfect, not only that but anger, strife, loss, and sadness are gone, no one ever starves, and no one ever dies. A utopia is based on egalitarian principles. Basically, its "the perfect world". The idea of a utopia first came when sir Thomas more described a perfect island/world in 1516. A dystopia however, is a world that is actually viable, a dystopia is basically a utopia turned bad. When a utopia developed inside conflicts the current regime(governing body) doesn't have the knowledge or ability to quell said conflicts due to the earlier society not needing them(by earlier society I mean before the conflict happened) and Get more content on HelpWriting.net
