Post 24: Utopia in comparison to the United States
Thomas More's Utopia is a story of a "perfect" nation that was created separate from the other nations of the world. The main premise of the nation that More writes about is a place that is free from debt, religious difference and persecution, and racial equality (Despite the existence of slaves). Although the United States aims and strives for such things, they simply fall short. Distinctions between the rich and poor still exist, some religions are still thought of as ludicrous or pagan if it does not coincide with Christianity, and racial inequality is still very prevalent throughout the nation.
