Blog Post - Are we heading towards a dystopian society?
One day, maybe one day, our Earth as we know it will end up like that or even worse. We wouldn't have a utopia to go to, but we would more likely be sectioned it off from it because it could pose a nonexistent threat to us. In the eyes of whoever our leader might be at the time, the utopia will convince the civilians to become more independent than we are now. That means our leader will lose a considerable amount of people and they will try to keep us more sectioned off from the new world and try to convince us that where we live now is better. Though there will be some who will not agree, the leader will turn to brainwashing to keep us in line. I hope that day never comes. I would never our society let alone Earth become a dystopian society; it would be awful. Our world would become dull and lifeless compared to how it would've been. Everyone would be under control of a MPF (major political figure) who wants all the power. Right now our technology includes a vast amount of different machines and accessories such as iPhones and laptops. In the dystopian world, we would be stripped of these luxuries. If were granted with such a power to be able to use a piece of technology, it would be for the use of higher officials against the citizens or for the major political figure in charge. People would be almost lifeless and stripped of proper, individual identities. Everyone would have the exact same view point as the MPF or be forced under their will to obey. I'm not sure if certain words will be stripped away from us, but I would think that anything said badly about the MPF or if any laws are broken it would greatly effect the ways that we are looked upon by others or if our life will hang in the balance of our actions.
