First draft introduction

The introduction of my first draft

In the morning you wake up, hearing the news of war in the middle east or the fights between politicians. On the subway to school or work you find the people trying to ignore the homeless reaching out their hands for money. You watch people fighting on the road with their cars crashed. In this endless cycle of life you may once have thought and desired living in Utopia. However, do you think that Utopia can exist? For a long time, maybe during the existence of human beings, perfect world was a dream and a desire to be achieved. As people are living in a world full of problems - poverty, crime, hunger, disease, war and corruption people craved a world free of conflict, hunger and unhappiness. Thus the concept of Utopia began to exist. Utopia is a word Thomas More invented when he wrote a book named Utopia. He coined the word ‘utopia’from the greek ou-topos meaning ‘no place’ or ‘nowhere’. But this was a pun because the almost identical greek word ‘eu-topos- meant a good place. Thus the word Utopia intrinsically contains the question whether the perfect world can exist in reality. There were always controversies regarding the question. However I strongly insist that Utopia cannot exist in the real world.

1. Attention grabber -

 I attrated the audience by describing real lives and trying to sympathize with them with the concept of Utopia which we often think of when we have problems in our lives. Then I ask them a question so that I can point out whether Utopia can exist or not.

2. Explains the topic -
In the attention grabber I introduce all the elements of my topic: Definition of Utopia and history of it, controversies regarding the existence of Utopia.

3. My thesis -
I strongly insist that Utopia cannot exist in the real world.
