American Utopian Dreams

Kat Kinkade, one of the founders of Twin Oaks, a utopian community in Virginia, said:

“How can anybody explain the purpose of Utopia? It’s like explaining the purpose of Heaven. It’s just the place you want to be, that’s all.”

Select two communities described in the article link that you would “want to be.” Identify the community, describe it, and tell what you find appealing in its utopian vision. Consider also its appeal to others. Why would anyone want to join the community?

Select two communities described where you would NOT “want to be.” Identify the community, describe it, and tell what you find so unappealing in its utopian vision. Why do you think it appealed to its members?

What will your choices be in these two categories?

1. Will there be a Constitutional Separation of Power: Yes or No?

2. What will be your country’s Political System: Democratic, Authoritarian, or Totalitarian?

Explain how your choices for these two categories are compatible with each other. Also explain how these choices reflect the utopian nature of your nation.

What steps are you taking to make certain each of the 10 choices involved in building your government are compatible with each other and with the nature of your nation? Tip: This should involve a thorough understanding of key sections of the textbook. Reference those sections and the information in them.
