3. WHAT IS DIASPORA?
A Diaspora is a scattered
population whose origin lies
within a smaller geographic
locale.
Diaspora can also refer to the
movement of the population
from its original homeland.
Diaspora has come to refer
particularly to historical mass
dispersions of an involuntary
nature, such as
the expulsion of Jews from
Judea,
the fleeing of Greeks after the
fall of Constantinople,
the African Trans-Atlantic
slave trade etc..
4. DIASPORA

5. WHAT IS UTOPIA?
A utopia is an imagined
community or society that
possesses highly desirable or
nearly perfect qualities for its
citizens. The opposite of a
utopia is a dystopia. You
could also say that utopia is a
perfect 'place' that has been
made so there are no
problems.
Utopian ideals often place
emphasis on egalitarian
principles of equality in
economics, government and
justice, though by no means
exclusively, with the method
and structure of proposed
implementation varying based
on ideology.
