My persuasive
argument thesis is: Although there are many people who believe Utopia can exist, they will never exist.
1. What do people already
know about my topic?
2. What research has already
been done about my topic?
Humans will not stop working on realization of Utopia. As long as humans exist, the desire and craving for Utopia exist. However if people start to accept my argument, they'll know what they must do to make a world which is similar to Utopia. They would know the limits of human beings and thus they'll try to make another plans or studies about overcoming the obstacles. As I already mentioned, this essay is not saying "As long as people cannot make Utopia, we should stop our useless efforts". It is saying "As long as we have these problems which stop us from realizing the real Utopia, we should consider these when we try to make a world similar to Utopia"

My
Narration
Utopia has been a hot issue for everyone living the reality. Every people living in this world are dreaming of their own Utopia. Compared to history, it's true that the world seems to develop in a better way. As technology is developing rapidly and the basic rights of humans are being considered importantly. Think of how much revolutions and wars were made, and how much people fought to achieve Utopia on their own. From 18th century, utopian ideas exploded into actions. Condorcet, Rousseau's opinions were enough to enlighten people to recognize that they have right to claim Utopia. Thus in America and in france revolutions exploded. Also in 19th century Robert Owen and Titus Salt set up socialist utopian communities. Of course, these fights and revolutions are still occuring.
Many novels that describe Utopia show people's interests toward it. The first people who invented the word Utopia is Thomas more, who wrote the book Utopia defined Utopia on his own. The society existed on an island and people living in there had no money. People moved to other houses every 10 years to avoid obsession to their own belongings. Selected officials govern the country and these officials have intellectual capabilities. As people should share equal wealth, this society resembles that of communism.
Not only in literature, there are many people attempting to actualize Utopia in real world. New haven, Society of the woman in the wilder, Ephrata cloister, Shakers, Harmony, Nashoba, New harmony, Brook farm, Kindgon of St. James, Oneida, Icaria, Fountain Grove, Kaweah, Roycroft, Point loma, Halcyon, Holycity, Peace mission of father divine, Drop city, Hog farm, Twin oaks, Family of mystic arts, the diggers, the farm are utopian societies that are discovered. However if you think these utopian communities were just the old story you're making a huge mistake.
If you type in "Marinaleda" in the search engine you will find many interesting articles regarding this small village in spain. You can read it from New york times and wall street journal. Marinaleda has gained a huge attention lately from the progressive press. It is located 70 miles east of Seville in southern Spain's Andalusia region, this small farming village (population: 2,771) has set out to build a Communist utopia since the late 1970s. Wall street Journal describes Marinaleda as "probably the most pleasant Communist society on earth" To describe little about a village, there is complete absence of a police force. And mechanization is avoided at all costs to put as many people as possible to physical work. Marinaleda also offers new residents a home for just €15 per month. What I wanted to emphasize is that there are people trying to achieve real Utopia for all people and there were lots of efforts to make Utopia. However can those attempts end? Are those efforts can be ended one day? In my opinion I will say "no"
