Invitation

My utopia is really amazing. I would love to live in this society! There are many strengths in my society. The fact that nobody can judge anybody else is an amazing thing. I wish the society that I live in now would enforce the no judging rule a lot more. This would make life so much easier for everyone, which it does in my society. People in my society don't feel down on themselves or not good enough, because of the fact that nobody can judge them. Everybody feels good about themselves and the way they look. They don't get told they're ugly or fat, etc. They only receive compliments from everyone, which makes them feel good about themselves. If somebody does say something rude to someone else, judging them, the person who talked bad will suffer the consequences. Along with all the strengths in my utopia, there are also weaknesses. People get so tired of holding everything in that they just want to blow up or let every bad thing that they would like to say out. This is why they have their journals that they may right their feelings, thoughts/opinions in that nobody will see incase of being offended or brought down. The fact that nobody judges anybody else makes it a lot easier to get along with everyone and have more friends. Nobody will ever be alone in my society. I hate the feeling of being alone and I know for a fact that many, many other poeple don't like feeling down or alone. The worst feeling ever is feeling that nobody is there for you, ever. In my society, you will always have someone there for you, no matter who it is. It may be your peers, parents, friends, family, or the counselors in the society. Everybody works hard to make sure that nobody feels alone or depressed. The hobbies of the people in my utopia are all pretty amazing hobbies. Everybody likes taking pictures, capturing memories in a way that shows the details of what happened with a picture, and not just words. They also like playing sports, listening to music, reading, etc. They like doing the things everybody else likes doing, but the big thing that they grow up knowing is photography. :) My utopia is a safe, happy place for everyone. You are able to be yourself, be friends with whoever you want, do whatever you want without worrying about being harmed by anything or anyone, etc. My utopia is what you make of it. How you want to live your life is up to you. Whatever you want to make of your life, you sure can in my utopia! :)

3 Day Journal

Day 1: Daily Routine
People in my utopia are able to do almost anything they would like to do. Right when they wake up, they have to drink a whole glass of "pop" that makes them not want to judge anybody. And then they may procede on with their day. Obviously, the adults go to work in the begining of the day, while their children go to school or daycare. This is only from 8am until 2pm. After this, they split everybody up into age groups, and each age group has their own building they have to go to. The services start at 2:30pm. The services are held by anybody older than 60 years of age. The services last from 2:30pm to 3:30pm, and they are all about not judging people. These services teach you to be better people and learn how not to judge other people. They do not talk about "God" because this society is a free society, where everybody is open to their own beliefs and opinions. After these services are over, everybody has the rest of the day to do whatever they would like to do for that day.

Day 2: Transportation
The transportation in my utopia is very fast and easy! You just close your eyes, think about where you want to go, count to ten, and you're there! This saves a lot of money by not having to pay for gas, cars, or bus/taxi fees. Also, it's a really fun way to be able to get from one place to another. You can obviously walk if you would like, but the easiest way is by transporting through your mind.

Day 3: "Big" event
Something big that may happen in our society is that somebody judges someone when they know that it is wrong. You may write in your journal that the government gives you about whatever you want, but when you say something mean/judgemental about somebody to someone else, or even to that person's face without being asked, you will be punished. What happens is the government takes you to a special building where there are people kind of like counselors. They will ask you what you did wrong, make you tell that person sorry about it, and then ask you if you drank your "pop" that morning. The pop usually helps to not have those mean thoughts about other people. So, if they do this, then it is pretty obvious that they probably didn't take their "pop" that morning. They will have to be monitored for a couple weeks every morning to make sure they are taking their pop when they wake up.

Declaration of Independence

    I created my "no judging" society because I hate being judged and I know everybody else does, too. People may act like they don't care, but everyone's only human. Things hurt, some people just don't like showing it. In my society, there is no judging before you get to know someone, and everybody gets an equal first chance. This is totally different from our society now because everybody judges everyone the second they see them. By either what they're wearing, what they look like physically, or how they are acting towards other people. Sometimes, judging by how they are acting is an okay thing, but also, just because they act that way towards one person, doesn't mean they will be rude to everyone. Some people do mean things to other people for a reason, usually because they have hurt them before. If somebody is unliked by most people in our society, then even the people who don't know them personally will not like them just to fit in.
     In my utopia, it is not okay to judge anyone before giving them a chance. And, people can renew their mistakes kind of by confessing. If someone does something bad to you, they will get punished for it. This doesn't mean that nobody will like them. This means that the government will make them go through classes and ask why they did what they did. Violence is not okay in my soceity towards any living thing; including animals.

SOAPS

     My Utopia is all about being equal and not judging people before you get to know them. I think that people judge people by what everybody else says about that person. If I don't like somebody, I don't expect everybody else to hate them, too. The goal of my society is that everybody gets to know everybody else as friends before you decide that you don't like someone. You cannot judge someone else without getting to know them and spending time with them. You cannot talk bad about someone to another person. Everybody will be given a journal that only their fingerprint may open. In this journal, you will write what is on your mind and you can vent about anything you want in your journal. If you need a person to vent to, you will go to a "therapist", but they will not see your face nor know your identity. I created this society because I think that everybody deserves an equal chance from everybody else. What one person may think about someone, another person may disagree. Just because one person doesn't like the way you talk or walk, doesn't mean that they can influence other people to not like it either. Everybody has their own different views of people, and we should let them have those opinions without trying to influence everybody else to feel the same way. I feel that people should be able to have their own opinions without being judged or shut out because of them. Everybody makes mistakes, they're only human. My utopia is the best because everybody gets an equal chance.
     My society is different from the society that we live in; very different. In our society, everybody judges everybody the second they see them. We all do it, it's an instinct to us. But, I think that people deserve a chance to let you get to know them. Maybe what you see on the outside, isn't what they're really like on the inside. They may be mean to one person and you think they'll be mean to you. Maybe the person they were being mean to gave them a reason to be mean. Just because somebody acts a certain way towards someone else, doesn't mean they will act that way towards you. I think that people in our society are too afraid of getting hurt and that's why they don't give people a chance. That's why, in my society, everybody has to give everyone an equal chance to show them what they are really like. You never know, you may really like the person that you judged as weird or "uncool".

Favorite Part

My favorite part of the book was when Tally went hoverboarding by herself when Shay left. I liked it because Tally didn't forget about her friend, even after everything that had happened. It made me think that Tally wasn't going to break her promise to Shay. I thought that Tally would run away to where Shay was eventually. I know I would do that for my friend.
