In class we discussed various text and the concept of utopia, and it was ironic that when we were asked what a utopia was, we all answered with examples of dystopias. I believe that many of us instantaneously view a utopia as a dystopic society because we were trained to view the utopia in a negative light. This is a result of the realm of living in reality. Many parents are now refraining from showing their daughter Disney Princess movies because they feel they are sending the wrong message to their children about life. People no longer want to promote the message of happily every after. But has the harsh reality of life taken away our ability to dream and fantasize, isn't this the stem of the utopian ideals to begin with?
