= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = == = = =Are humans capable of living in a perfect world?= This has been a question that has plagued philosopher's minds since the beginning of time. Dating as far back as Plato, intellectuals have debated over whether mankind truly is designed to cohabit this earth peacefully and with happiness. The idea of a utopia, while referenced in Plato's early teachings, was more formally recognized when [|Sir Thomas More] wrote his essay on Utopia in the 15th century. However, after the two world wars, authors readdressed the topic of a perfect world, but from a more jaded perspective. The term 'dystopia' describes the writings of both George Orwell's famous //1984// and Alduous Huxley's //Brave New World//. Both authors agreed that if mankind was not carefully observing the governments around them, individual freedoms would cease to exist as a cost for the 'perfect' world. But can a perfect world exist without individuality? This unit will ask you to consider this and many other social and personal risks you are willing to compromise in exchange for a safe and peaceful world?
