I feel like the purpose of Utopia is to illustrate that the simpler life is easier than wanting more. While many kingdoms are at war trying to conquer each other, the Utopians instead live in peace, working together six hours a day. Unlike other countries where people work long hours but are less productive because there's more people who are not working, everyone in Utopia has a purpose that keeps the country productive, but are still given time to peruse leisurely activities, which is important. While it's important to work, it's also important to allow people time to recharge. It shows that cooperation, not long work hours, can produce the most results.
I commented on Hannah and Dallas'.
I feel this is true, but they also conform and are stuck in the same place with no way up.
ReplyDeleteI like how you bring out the "work smarter, not harder" mentality of Utopia. It is something to appreciate of the lifestyle of Utopians, but is still seemingly unrealistic. If only human beings could just learn to live in harmony with one another! ;)
