I would say that I am a Utopian thinker being that I rather focus on the hope that the future holds for me. An example of this in my present life is my tenacity and drive to always look for a solution out of my problems. I also do my Continue reading
In Robinson’s essay, “Dystopia’s now”, he categorizes four ways of viewing the world: dystopia, utopia, anti-utopia, and anti-anti utopia thinkers. I think to say I am an anti-utopia thinker would be too pessimistic, and to say I am a utopia thinker would be too optimistic. To be an anti-anti utopia Continue reading
 I believe I am a dystopian thinker The reason why I believe that I am a dystopian thinker is because I always feel like I’m in survival mode. While growing up, I was always a fan of dystopian movies because I felt like I could relate to the pain they Continue reading
In Robinson’s “Dystopia’s Now” essay, we get a glimpse at four different types of thinkers. Robinson believes that the dystopias created now focus on what we fear the future to be. Meanwhile, utopias are focused on what we hope the future will be. In the essay, Robinson mentions four types Continue reading
I have always been described as a go-with-the-flow kind of person, it was how I was raised. My mother will hop in her car and drive hours away, to a different state with no destination in mind, and I seem to have developed the same “can’t stay still mentality”. This Continue reading
When considering what type of thinker I am, I think that I align most with that of an anti-anti-utopian thinker. Anti-anti-utopian thinkers believe that utopias are not bad and that there is a possibility that things can get better and we should try for them. I am not optimistic enough Continue reading
In Robinson’s essay, “Dystopia Now”, he touches on four types of thinkers that one can be: Utopian thinkers, Dystopian thinkers, Anti-Utopian thinkers, and Anti-Anti-Utopian thinkers. I think would place myself as either Anti-anti-Utopian or Dystopian. I like to situate myself as someone who believes that everyone should focus on the Continue reading
It is hard to tell if I am a utopian, dystopian, or anti- anti- utopian thinker. According to Robinson, utopians believe that “the political order could be run better”, dystopians believe “that the political order could get worse”, and anti-anti- utopians believe that the idea of anti- utopias, “the idea Continue reading
Robinson introduces 4 different kinds of thinkers in his article “Dystopias Now.” I think I resonate most with the anti-anti-utopia thinker. Robinson starts off the article talking about dystopias and how they are directly different from a utopia. It is pretty evident that there is a lot wrong in society Continue reading
Out of all the suggestions that Robinson provides, I would consider myself more of an anti-anti-utopian thinker. While I do agree with the usefulness of utopian, dystopian, and anti-utopian thought, I think now more than ever is the time to go into action and make noticeable choices that head toward Continue reading
