In Utopia, there are many things that

we need. Not just to survive, but to live in harmony with everyone and everything.

First of all, basic requirements like food, water, air and shelter are essential for life

in ‘Utopia.’

Food is not produced and

distributed equally among countries. For countries like

Australia and America, we easily

produce enough food to last for a

long time, and feed our populations.

But for countries like Afghanistan and Africa,

they do not have enough to feed the

whole country. Starvation and

malnutrition are big problems. But, if every

person in the more wealthy countries

sacrificed one meal a day, there would be enough to feed the

whole world!

As the world’s population is

increasing very quickly, more food is needed. To feed the world for the next 5 years, we will need as much food as we have used in the last

500 years!

Water and sanitation is just as important. It takes 3 weeks to starve, but it only takes 3 days to

dehydrate. People in third world countries

are dying from disease and other

complications resulting from lack of reliable, clean water

supplies.

Shelter is also very important. In

extreme conditions, we could die from exposure after 3

hours without shelter. These are just some of the

requirements that are absolutely essential as we

strive for ‘Utopia.’

To achieve ‘Utopia’ we need loyalty and order between people and countries. Without

people understanding and respecting each

other’s spirituality and beliefs, we cannot live

safely in Utopia. A lot of the conflicts that have happened in the world so far have been the

result of differences in spiritual or religious

beliefs

Obeying laws is extremely important. If everybody just did what they wanted

without a set of laws, this world would be chaos! A good way that we can keep

safe is to respect and follow the laws.

Every day, many people put themselves and others in danger by

breaking the law. This can be due to peer

pressure, alcohol and drugs. But, in poor

countries, it can be just to survive their

circumstances. We need to ensure equal rights and responsibilities, no

matter what the economic background, to maintain harmony.

International Relations between countries are very important. If we do

not have good communication and

international relations with other countries, conflict

may occur.

Take North and South Korea for example. After the Second World War, North and South Korea were divided and they could not agree on a form of government.

South Korea adopted a democratic government from the USA and North Korea a communist one from Russia. North Korea declared war on South

Korea.

While both countries suffered because the

war, good international relations with, and

support from, the allied countries ensured that South Korea recovered

well. Unfortunately, North Korea suffered

badly, both economically and

politically.

This shows us that international relations could help everybody – if the two countries could’ve agreed on a government, none of these things would have happened. It

also shows that war doesn’t help anyone.

Cultural Identity may not be an aspect we need to stay alive,

but it is a very important to help

increase understanding and

tolerance of others.

Many countries have strong cultural

identities – not just their languages and traditions, but their customs and beliefs also. It is important to try to understand

other cultures in order to avoid

misunderstandings and promote

harmony.

If Cultural Identity is kept, and citizens in counties can respect

other countries traditions and the

need to protect and maintain them, this will be a giant leap forward to Unity.

Lastly, is Mindfulness. This basically covers

everything. To stay safe and live happily

together, people need to be mindful of

others.

A key aspect of Utopia would be our

willingness to help each other. To help

countries like Afghanistan and Korea, who are

battling in war, to resolve their

differences and support them in their

recovery.

To help countries like Africa that are poor and battling famine, to get on their feet by donating money

and resources to help them become self-sufficient. We

can help change the lives of these people in so many different

ways.

In conclusion, to achieve Utopia, we all need to be less selfish. To create Utopia, all people need to be equal,

with equal rights and equal

responsibilities. If we sacrificed one small tiny thing from our luxurious lives, it

would be the world to another.
