Abstract

An ideal society is one in which the people are given proper justice and equal opportunities and rights. In my ideal society I would set standards that are reachable, have a democratic system, civilized community, not allowing one particular class to rule but to have open and free election and discussions where every person had a say and would be heard regardless of gender or social standing.

Ideal Society

Introduction

My ideal society would be one that would be very similar to that of Aristotle's. Plato wanted to create a perfect society but like Aristotle I don't think that it is possible to create a perfect society. Throughout history man has tried to reach this “Utopia” through many alternatives but was never able to do so. I think the best we can do is to try and improve the one that we have. Instead of trying to achieve perfection we should just try and improve what we can actually improve. In my ideal society I would set standards that are reachable, have a democratic system, civilized community, not allowing one particular class to rule but to have open and free election and discussions where every person had a say and would be heard regardless of gender or social standing. Plato had good ideas but there is no way that it would ever be attainable. We need to be realistic, fair and try our best to do what is best for the people as a whole.
