People often dream of living in a perfect place where no one would be poor, no one would be rich, and everyone would be kind to everyone else. Such a place is nowhere, and that's what the word“UTOPIA”means. It is made up of two Greek words meaning NOT A PLACE.
The word was first used by Sir Thomas More, a sixteenth century English writer whose book UTOPIA, published in 1516.
Described a perfect island country. More's idea for his tale came from the ancient Greek thinker Plato. Plato's The Republic described what would be a perfect state.
Early legends(傳說(shuō))among the Norse, Celtic and Arab peoples told of a perfect place existing somewhere in the. Atlantic. These legends were no longer believed when explorations of the America began, but after More's time, it became common for writers to imagine and describe perfect“places”.
Today when people want certain changes in government or society, their ideas are sometimes called UTOPIA. Usually the ideas mean that the changes, if effected, would not suddenly make everything perfect because something imperfect exists objectively and only according to the practical situation can we do well in something.
