ĐỀ 21/9/2013

Throughout history, people have dreamed about perfect society, but they have not agreed what an ideal society is . What do you think the most important elements to have perfect society in modern world? how people can achieve an ideal society?

Elements

- equality

- no war

- no economic financial crisis

- enough food and good health

To achieve

- work hard

- live within moral boundaries

- restrain endless greed

Utopian societies are often contemplated by idealists, and some countries in the world have succeeded in building them. In my view, to reach the stage of so-called perfect society, there are several necessary elements required, and my essay will discuss factors and ways to obtain such societies for good.

Looking back on the past, we all know how painful people were in the struggle against natural disasters. There were millions of people dying within seconds, but no sooner does prediction department of the earth come into being than humans suffer less and avoid the most damaging consequences. Another reason that drives the world crazy until today is the lack of equality in treatment in certain parts of the world and groups of people. History has shown that the black and white killed each other because the former received the worst treatment like animals from the latter. Until now, cases of women being physically and mentally abused in work places are seen. Only when people learn to treat each other with equal respect can we attain an ideal society, I believe. Furthermore, people's ceaseless and endless greed to have more money and re-order the world have been main culprits of devastating this peaceful planet- the Earth. From the first, second to nuclear wars, millions of deaths have been recorded, and what is the meaning of having a bigger land at the expense of human suffering? Currently, to maximize profit, people have rushed into housing and stock markets, followed by a series of crisis as well. In other words, the best world is built upon equality, no war and no financial meltdown.

                                      

The question is how to obtain such a goal? Individually speaking, each person should lead himself or herself in a life within boundary. Imagine that if we all try to defeat each other for economic living, can we all survive and enjoy sustainable development? While working hard to earn our living, we need to know that our winning should be gained as long as others can win. From the early childhood, my recommendation is that children should be brought up with the idea of balancing their soul and restraining their greed. Parents, beside encouraging to gain knowledge and skills to be independent, teach them moral lessons about life, humanity and interdependence as well. Politically speaking, it is time that governments around the world sit in one table to discuss clear-cut solutions to put an end to their wars, conflicts and other international concerns. Is it worth for these governments to harbor hatred against each other and go into the war, but see their normal citizens lose their lives for them? At the same time, for those countries which already reach the utopian period like North Eastern Europe, please pay more attention to the third-world by popularizing their country model and sponsoring these poor nations with medical and educational help.

In brief, we all crave for an ideal society, but we all know that it is still a long way to go. Let's take action to build such a society on the basis of discussed principles, including, integrity, morality, equality and win-win thinking.
