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.
