Death Metal Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 There's no such thing as perfect so to say perfect society you would need the following: • All Children with a 4.0+ GPA.• Drug-Free.• No Sickness whatsoever.• High Income Homes.• Children are nice, playful, and love to learn.• All teachers come from the highest colleges and have earned their masters.• Technology is second to none in the society• Government and Citizens have equal powers• No Crime• No Corruption• And Probably more than just what i've listed.

Willieh Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Static already answered this question. You would have to create a mass genocide killing and sterolizing people who weren't healthy or right for the society. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyhe Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 In life, perfection is next to impossible. Even if it were possible, it can only be achieved by destroying over 2/3 of the world who would be flawed & unsuitable for the perfect new world order.

Professor Cobra Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 As long as humans are flawed, nothing is perfect. And we all are flawed in some way. That's what makes us unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2sick4u Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Still didnt kill my point that the possibility that this society is perfect already in itself... (someone has to have the logic to defeat this right?)...I believe a perfect society falls under an individuals category for "Perfect."However, for the most literal interpretation, an inept society would involve one that contains the balance of opinions. Albeit mentally, psychologically, Religiously.. etc. We'd all need an universal truth, so to speak. With one, wars and such based upon differences in opinion cannot happen, provoking a peaceful, which some would call, perfect society.:D.Icy would get that. *Now that I re-read this, It might seem like I'm on crack.

Perfect would mean that every aspect of the society would be the best, and could not possibly improve. There's always room for improvement. We have an advanced society; not a perfect society.

Guest JoshIcy Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 @2sick4u: I do understand that but there is a simpler way to explain it.. @Willie: Improvement in itself speaks that one thing is better than another. In this "Perfect Society" (when I do direct quotes like that I am emphasizing) not one thing is better than another. So that would null your statement based on the goal. But you got the closest so kudos ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could consider 1 thing to be perfect and then you look at it and go "What the funk?". Perfection can not be attained in a society of people because there's never going to be a time when people consider everything to be perfect. However to an individual, one might find something to be perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterOfMagicians Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 For any of you who have taken psych classes (if any).Perfection is an illusion created by the mind to achieve the impossible. Perfection would suggest that nothing more can be improved upon, which as we know is never the case. Look at the telegraph, now cellular telephones.Look at radio, 8-tracks, the automobile, factories, work environments. Perfection is an illusion. Everything can always be improved upon. It is an endless cycle. Something is improved, we work to make a better improvement. Look at computers. They used to take up half a gymnasium, now you can fit them on your cell phone. There is no such thing as perfection. It is an unobtainable illusion of the mind, created to give mankind hope of happiness because they cannot be happy with what they have.

Static Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 TO EVERYONE WHO SAID "THE GIVER" IN THEIR POST, HAVE YOU EVER READ BRAVE NEW WORLD? The Giver gives a negative bias of this perfect society, to suit Westernized thinking. Lois Lowrey and George Orwell are both anti-Utopian writiers, and their works cannot be cited for valid argument point if you are judging by the bias given off by the book. Brave New World gives a much more descriptive view, and lacks the bias. Then again, you can always make the subjective opinion that "creating babies that hate the cold so that they can work for the rest of their lives" Then again, Brave New World is less about a Communist New World Order, but more about an Elitist New World Order, and the only wrongs in this utopia are that people live unequal lives when you compare classes of people, and without that, it is essentially communistic.
