American nation. In Death and Life of Great American Cities by Jane Jacobs and Utopia by Thomas Moore‚ we are presented two life styles‚ which some might consider very similar in various ways. Both authors focus on a peaceful living lifestyle‚ to better the people of the nation. Although some of their specific details are different‚ I believe that Jacobs would definitely approve of the features that More develops in Utopia. Utopia occupies a crescent-shaped island that curves in on itself‚ enclosing a

Thomas More’s Utopia is a work of ambiguous dualities that forces readers to question More’s real view on the concept of a utopian society. However‚ evidence throughout the novel suggests that More did intend Utopia to be the “best state of the commonwealth.” The detailed description of Utopia acts as Mores mode of expressing his humanistic views‚ commenting on the fundamentals of human nature and the importance of reason and natural law‚ while gracefully combining the two seemingly conflicting ideals

More‚ the author‚ describes Utopia as a community or society possessing highly desirable or near perfect qualities. However‚ this fictional society would not work especially in today’s day and age‚ because the description of the cities and farms hinges upon a general fact of Utopian life: homogeneity. Everything in Utopia is as similar as it possibly can be. According to Hythloday the cities are almost indistinguishable from each other. They have virtually the same populations‚ architecture‚ layouts

Thomas More creates an ideal society‚ seemingly perfectly balanced‚ contrasting the flawed society in Europe at this time. From the geography of Utopia to the acceptance of religions‚ More’s society is easily

This comparative structure‚ found between Thomas More’s two books of Utopia‚ poses the country of Utopia opposite the broader communities of world civilization. Despite the comparison of Utopia as distinct from and morally better than widespread society‚ in truth Utopia is‚ at best‚ an extension. The sloth of governments abroad have led Utopians to pursue lives of group work rather than personal property. In Book I
