Definitions Of a Utopian Society Utopia is a name for an ideal community or society possessing a perfect socio-politico- legal system. Utopia An ideally perfect place, especially in its social, political, and moral aspects. Ecological utopian society describes new ways in which society should relate to nature.
Characteristics of a Utopia No drama, no strife, a happy sense of sameness (sic)..... Any government or society that tries to make a utopia will only end up with a dystopia.....
