1 Dystopia

2 Definitions  Utopia: is a term for an ideal society. It has been used to describe both planned communities that attempt to create an ideal society, and fictional societies portrayed in literature. (The Garden of Eden)  Dystopia: is the vision of a society that is the opposite of ideal. A dystopian society is a state in which the conditions of life are extremely bad, characterized by human misery, poverty, oppression, violence, disease, and/or pollution

7 Dystopias  Most dystopias impose severe social restrictions on the characters' lives.  It is a culture where the condition of life is "extremely bad," as from deprivation, oppression, or terror.  Many dystopias, found in fictional and artistic works, can be described as a utopian society with at least one fatal flaw; whereas a utopian society is founded on perfectionism and fulfillment, a dystopian society’s dreams of improvement are overshadowed by stimulating fears of the “ugly consequences of present-day behavior”.
