Acknolodging one God • Thomas Moore discusses his appreciation towards God’s blessings, as well as his gift of a Utopic life. • Utopia is the “truest” religion. • He pleads to be given the gift of awareness, if there is another religion more true than Utopia. • The idea of perfection, as well as the adoption of an idealistic way of life. • Utopia detracts the fear of the future.
Society • Society detracts the attraction of being youthful by forcing work onto people in order to succeed. • The “private dishonesty” of society. • It is unjust that the workers who contribute the most to our society receive the least. • Invalidating the term “money” or “wealth” resolves many social issues. • If money were eradicated, social issues such as violence would not exist. As well as poverty.
Utopian Republic • Those of a utopian life style endure recreational activities as well as military training. • Utopia is the only country in the world that can be referenced as a republic. • In Utopia private property does not exist. This excludes other countries, contrary to Utopia other countries are selfish and unaware of maintaining a balanced and equal lifestyle.
Public Owner Ship • No one suffers from the fear of loss. • Poverty does not exist. • No one has ownership of anything, however everyone is wealthy. • The idea of stress does not exist, Utopia provides not only security but a guaranteed life of happiness and stability.
Utopia vs. other countries Raphael's outlook on utopia is extremely objective. He believes there is no other country that can provide peace and happiness the way Utopia can. As well as believing it is the only Country that will survive. Utopias religion and tactics in Raphaels perspective are the only way to live a successful life. • Fair arrangements. • People in other countries are rewarded for little to no work. As well as work that does not contribute to society. • Other countries do not rewards their people, as those of Utopia.
