Utopia - A happy place, state or condition that is ideally perfect in respect of politics, law and customs.

Dystopia – An imaginary place or state in which the condition of life is extremely bad, a society characterized by human misery.

     Utopia is the opposite of Dystopia, when I think of the word Utopia I think of a place, a place free of poverty and filled with happiness. What also comes to mind was Ethiopia which is in Africa.  Another example of Utopia would be heaven, because most people think heaven is an ideal perfect place where nothing goes wrong and everyone is very happy .Utopia is basically an imaginary world that you can create or live in. Free of poverty and suffering. In a society of Utopia there’s no crime and no corruptions, sometimes to avoid any conflicts you basically do whatever you want if it makes you happy.
  

   Dystopia to me is a disease something really bad, it also means nightmare. I think a good example of Dystopia would be American, because the citizens of the United States have a fear, a fear of the outside world. The media can also be an example of Dystopia they’re the reason why good things lead too bad because of what they advertised. Dystopia is also like 9/11. Some places in Africa are Dystopia because they are living in fear, fear of what the government or the citizens might do.  It’s also bad because they have less jobs and the rate of poverty is very high. In American we don’t live in poverty but we do have fear and suspicions of everybody around us, because of 9/11.

The difference between Utopia and Dystopia is that Utopia is when the communities/ society are perfect. And Dystopias is when the community is unpleasant.

Hi, my name is Stacy Ann Welch. I was born in Jamaica W.I and came to America when I was only 9 years old. I am a very forgiving person but I will never forget anything. I forgive people because god forgives also.  In my world I think that if you don’t forgive people, how can you move forward in life? I also believe in treating people the right way because you will achieve many things in life. I like to explore my thoughts and knowledge on the world and the people in it. I think of myself as a little ant that wants to know so much in the world, and is very determine to find its way.

My mother is my inspiration why I want to accomplish so much in life. She teaches me how to work hard never give up and always try, never say you can’t. Her favorite word is “Try your best”.  A mother is a very important person in a child’s life because they push you to do certain things you never think you could do. My mom isn’t the only important person to me good friends are too. I take those two things very serious family and friends. I am very loyal to my family and friends because in the end when times get tough I think it’s good when u have good friends and family around you that got your back. My family and friends is my wall, whenever I’m down they put me back up.

My friends would most describe me as very private, shy, funny, determine, and a big dreamer. Why they would say I’m a big dreamer is because I never want to fail at anything. I see my future with many good things happening if I continue to be the person I am today respectful and manners able. I want to be an Occupational therapy I’m willing to study hard to accomplish that goal. That’s my goal and I’m aiming for it now. After accomplishing that goal I would like to be the CEO of the hospital or center that I will be  working at. I’m one of those persons that once I started on something there’s no stopping me, more like a perfectionist.
