Utopia
[ send me this paper ]
Utopias, in the current vernacular, are the consequences of the industrial society's actions, a loss of hope in considering the future as created by the present. Sustainable living patterns have become the catchwords for the re-establishment of a state of community based on open dialogue, consensus and an economy of individual effort toward community interaction and health. There exists an emerging definition of political (personal, social, physical, cultural, spiritual and economic) action based on the connections between like minded individuals evolving in order to construct place and to propose creative ways of thinking about contemporary landscapes and futures. This 7 page paper integrates historical views of Utopias with the goals of a proposed utopia called New Miracles. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Disneyland: Prototype Of The Ideal City?
[ send me this paper ]
12 pages in length. Imagine a community with no crime, no disrepair, no unhappy residents, where there is always a sense of contentment and camaraderie floating in the air. Every citizen upholds neighborhood aesthetics under obligation of town code, and each person maintains a defined responsibility in preserving this Utopian setting. This community is not a democracy, but residents do not seem to mind that their every decision is founded upon autocracy. Is this the description of yet another backward European country? No, this is the setting for one of the world's most beloved communities where everything appears perfectly Utopian: Disneyland. No individuality, no originality, no independence. Bibliography lists 12 sources.
