My Confirmation
Now, it seems to be sure that people have a strong desire to actualize the utopian world when we see the novels and real villages that people made. However I insist that Utopia can’t exist in reality. There are several reasons why. First of all every people have different standard toward the perfect world. This is a simple thought that everyone could think of. When you simply ask ‘What is your great pleasure’ to your friends or family members, they will answer all differently. The perfect world means that it can all suffice everyone’s desires and needs efficiently but as long as everyone wants different things it is totally impossible to make up the perfect world for everyone. A world which is perfect to you can be a dystopia to other people.
In our real live and in history people fought and start a revolution to get what they want because due to the disparity between people’s opinions and interests they could not come to an agreement. Let me introduce French revolution as an example. Due to the France’s failure to feed its population, the exclusion of the growing bourgeoisie from political power and reluctance of the peasants to support an oppressive feudal system, the revolution was caused. People tried to escape from the reality that oppressed themselves and tried to make a world where every citizen can live happily. It brought down the monarchy, the aristocracy and the church so old regime in France ended. However does everyone living in the world wanted the revolution to occur? No. The point is that it is right that majority of the men living in France wanted the revolution but not all of them wanted it. This is due to the fight between the rich and the poor which still exists today. Every people want different society and rules. And we already know that this kept going without making
In addition Utopia cannot exist because people must compete. Most of the social problems occur due to the income inequality and rich get richer and the poor-get poorer cycle. Thus to prevent these problems previous Utopian societies inhibited the possession of money and shared all the resources together. And by equalizing the income they forced people to accept uniformity. However, historically, this method is not appropriate to human beings. Communism which failed clearly shows the fact.Communism was one way to make Utopia. It is the political and economic doctrine that aims to replace private property and a profit-based economy with public ownership and communal control of at least the major means of production and the natural resources of a society. This was made in order to save citizens from sweating system and violation of human rights. However when this was adapted to our reality, the fact turns out to be different. People worked without competition and incentives thus it led to the poor performance of economies. While competition may lead to income inequality and conflicts between people without it, the community and society of human beings cannot sustain.
Also Utopia cannot exist because every human seek their own pleasure and interest. To be short, humans are selfish. This is not a problem of individuals’ personality. This regards to the principle of evolution. In 1974, Richard Dawkins published a book named “The selfish Gene”. It is a book which describes a gene centered view of Charles Darwin’s theory of natural selection. He argued that individual genes adapt and evolve, using organism’s body as a survival machine for its genes. Due to this mechanism, human beings become selfish. All human beings are self-centered thus act and think selfishly. All altruistic behaviors are made in order to maximize one’s inclusive fitness. Some people will think this point of view as awkward. However this books is called as the classic of evolutionary biology. Not only this, we can see many proofs that reinforce this ideas. People act on their own interests. Everyone can accept this as a fact. However in Utopia, everyone cannot pursue their interests freely because it makes the society hard to maintain. Thus many novels that depict Utopia, as I mentioned before, restrict people’s desire. However this society cannot sustain as long as people are selfish.

To be simple equality can be the key to Utopia. Everyone can share their belongings thus there should be no poverty. However this idea leads to the devastated results. Communism was the way to express and actualize the Utopia. Equality and uniformity was the important rule. However communism failed because of repressive environment, misallocation of resources and totalitarian regime. Why this happened? Humans are naturally selfish. Thus even the leaders of the country could not bear the natural traits.
