Life in America is a dream to some, a reality to others. Whether or not an individual can claim to live the utopian life depends on a number of factors beyond shared housing. Utopia requires a peaceful, kind and loving group of individuals, all of whom desire to live a perfect existence and have passion for a well defined purpose.
The word, first coined by Sir Thomas More and describes a fantasy island off the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. Intentional living communities have now taken on the name as have several communes around the world. To live a true Utopian lifestyle is to live a house of peace, love, kindness and harmony.
Communes of the mid-60s and early 70s are a good example of utopian lifestyles. Individuals shared housing, chores, gardening and other activities. Unlike those communes of the early days, sex, drugs and rock and roll are often missing from the menu in the intentional living communities and communes still operating today.
One of the most promising groups looking to build a Utopian society is that of the improvisational dance community. A community can be built around a specific interest, or the interests of a number of different residents. When built around one specific interest, it is often easier to plan and attend events as the need for specific equipment often stays the same.
When looking to create commune or intentional community, it is good to have as minimal a carbon footprint in the process as possible. Once the individuals are on-site, it is important to discuss the responsibilities and shared talents of the household. It is also important to pick a location that is ecologically sound and in good environmental health. Otherwise, the village may only be completed to have to be torn down and rebuilt elsewhere.
Several ideas arose related to this lifestyle in the early 19th century. These ideas included those of capitalism and commercialism. After which, a number of communes, intentional communities and other shared living situations arose all over the nation. One reason this lifestyle is so appealing is that individuals often barter or contribute equally when it comes to rent and other household costs.
In some ways, college dorms might fit the profile of utopian society. In other ways, not even close. The often obnoxious, loud and boisterous ways of college has a way to eliminate the utopian concept. Whereas, to live a life that is utopian is to live a life that is peaceful simplicity in harmony with life and nature.
Fictionally speaking, Andromeda (1957, ) is a science fiction film that shows a fairy successful utopian society.
