Frankly speaking, I don’t think that before taking this class I have ever been asked to define the word dystopia. This is quite ironic because the specific side of my generation, 1999-2004 Generation Z , so happens to be the select few who group up during an odd boom of Continue reading
In my own words, I’d say dystopia happens merely in books, movies, etc., for now at least. It’s a fictional place where no one is happy, just living the life because it’s a “norm” to them, can’t do anything about it because they’re more than likely controlled. I’d use the Continue reading

The reason I would use this definition is Continue reading
I believe that a dystopia is a society that lacks equality and freedom, and also propagates subjugation, violence, censorship, propaganda, in order to achieve this inequality and maintain a chosen social order. By this definition, I believe that most societies today are dystopian to some members of society and are Continue reading
