A utopia is a perfect or ideal society. In contrast, a dystopia is a society that is in some way undesirable or even frightening

. Dystopias in science fiction are often based on some quality or problem in the real, present-day world. Why do you think that the themes of utopia and dystopia are common in science fiction?

I believe they are common because people believe that is where we could be headed. Will we run society into the ground, or will we prosper? Will the society be a "Divergent" or "Giver" society or will it exist as it does today? Since we have no way of knowing, we pretend we do.

Science fiction delves not only into the possibilities of science but also its effects on civilization as a whole, which can be either positive or negative. Utopias and dystopias are the hypothetical extremes that result when we try to imagine the consequences of human choices or changes in society. When the choices or changes depend on science, the imagined consequences fall within the genre of science fiction.

Many fictional utopias require science-driven advances—for example, the elimination of disease. In fact, some thinkers once held the view that the well-being of humankind could be achieved through advances in technology alone. Technology tends to play a major role in fictional dystopias as well.  Undesirable technologies, such as easily available weapons of mass destruction, are also based on science. (PLATO)

3. The biographies discuss Orwell’s different experiences in Spain and Burma, which forever affected his political views. Based
Gwar [14]

Answer and Explanation:

Orwel abhorred imperialism and saw it as a source of misery, submission, exploitation and oppression by the peoples. For him, imperialism caused problems that were very difficult to solve and very violent, being an unfair and immoral political game.

Orwell was a progressive and was faithful with fidelity to freedom and social well-being and for that reason he criticized all political aspects, although he was sympathetic to the leftist and socialist ideas, he criticized the utopian idea that these two aspects defended, because they knew that the political, social and economic problems of the world were difficult and needed solutions that were also difficult. As he defended the citizens' freedom, he also criticized communism and the limitation and control that it emitted in the peoples he dominated.

1) "A Quilt of a Country" is an argumentative essay. In lines 1-13 the author defines or
Kipish [7]

1. The first idea constructed by the author of the essay on lines 1-13 is that America is a nation resulting from pieces of various nations. This means that America is a culturally and socially diverse country, where each person has their own experiences and concepts and where each person has a different origin from each other. The second idea that the author raises is that this diversity should mean that all citizens are equal, but that is not what happens, since the history of America is told by events, where the freedoms and rights of groups of people were denied because they were not considered free and of equal value.

2. The author shows that these events that show injustice and denial of rights (such as lynching of blacks, denial of rights to women, murder of gays) are failures in the freedom and equality that America preaches, which indicates that the nation had great failures and it is these failures that question the country's real capacity to be fair and successful.

3. In line 22, the puzzle that the author refers to is related to the fact that as an increasingly individualistic country where many citizens proliferate, the feeling of superiority manages to remain united and in community in adverse moments?

4. The author believes that the country is divided, fragmented, because most of the time, citizens are on the verge of starting a fight with their peers because they do not see them as equals, but as something different and a citizen who does not belong there. . To exemplify this, the author states that in America an Arab can be a taxi driver for a Jew, or, a Jew can be a taxi driver for an Arab, even if both are part of American society, they do not see themselves as equals they can raise hate speech against each other.
