Concept in Definition ABC

What is utopia?.- A utopia is the human projection of an ideal world, that is, it is the conception of an ideal world developed by this or that person and that will depend of course on his motivations, experiences, among others, which are what lead him to build that world in his mind ideal.

Now, it should be noted that hand in hand with utopia walks the impossibility of specifying such draft or idea, because that is precisely what makes it a utopia, the impossibility of realizing it as it is thought in the time and form in which it is thought.

With an example we will see it more clearly, my utopia is to live in the country, away from the city and the frenetic pace that is lived in it, but of course, in the today that the I think and dream it is impossible for it to be carried out because my work is carried out in the city and I have no possibility of transferring it to that secluded space and ideal.
Utopias most of the time cannot be put into practice because they would imply having to give up some important aspect, in this case work, which is the way to sustain ourselves that have.

Origins and authorship of the concept

Unlike other concepts, that of utopia has a specific author, the English writer Tomás Moro, who for the first He once used it and then popularized it in his work Dē Optimo Rēpūblicae Statu dēque Nova Insula Ūtopia published in the year 1516. There, Utopia, is the name given to a fictitious community whose organization politics, economical and cultural It contrasts in many aspects with the contemporary communities of Moro and in which purity and perfection prevail above all things.

In the city of Utopia made in Moro, the community is organized in a super rational way, all the inhabitants live in the same houses and share their goods, that is to say, there is not even remotely the inequality social, something so common in any social organization.
In free time, art and reading, are the activities most deployed by the "utopians" and only in very extreme cases are sent to war, for that reason, for the most part, this society is used to living in circumstances of peace and harmony of interests... Quite a dream this too, we just have to look around us to confirm it.

Over time, this ideal world created by Moro in the 16th century is conceptualized and the idea of ​​that ideal world created by him begins to be used to designate precisely that state of mind. idyllic things that many times we people form in our minds but that at the same time and due to certain conditions of life is difficult to specify in the reality in which it is it lives.

Thus, nowadays, people use the term utopia when they want to refer to that plan or project that is presented to the eyes of anyone who knows it as unrealizable at the moment in which it is conceived or raises. Basically, because able proposes or promotes feelings or conditions that in a given community or context are practically impossible. For example, today, a world peace plan extended to every corner of the world is a utopia because there are so many opposing interests and a deep hatred between sectors that is so ingrained that it makes it impossible to only think in the realization of that plan. Of course it would be fantastic but if you think about it with your feet on the ground it is impossible because there would not be a total convention of the sectors to put it into practice.

Utopias exist in all areas, there are economic ones, such as being able to live in a world in which money does not exist and where we can all do only jobs that we like or like. Then there are the environmentalists, the political and religious.
