East Los Angeles College Utopian Ideals Capitalism Paper

Utopian ideals are unrealized and impossible ideals to obtain and implement realistically given human nature, individual preferences, & happenstances. Some examples of economic utopian systems are the “isms” that we have all grown to know and love (sarcasm), Capitalism, Socialism, Communism, Fascism, etc. – each and every example of a utopian ideal has one major similarity; the goal of pacification of the human spirit, be it with “complete happiness” or “living happily ever after”, or “no child left behind”, which in the context of utopia is not possible because utopia literally means nowhere. Please note, “the garden of Eden” from the Christian Bible & “never-never land” from Disney’s Peter Pan are examples of a utopia.
