What form would your idea of a dystopia take?

In what ways would it be


dystopia?

The term dystopia displays an utterly horrible or degraded society


where the future society is very controlled, (with) little freedom and
conformity. Non-conformity is punished and destroyed. John Wyndhams
The Chrysalids and Bradburys Fahrenheit 451 (is) based on
totalitarian regimes of the past like Nazi Germany or repressive systems
like McCarthyist America, Burning witches in Salem. The authoritarian
systems require IGNORANCE in the population to control them and
LACK OF COMMUNICATION, so (that) people cant share (their) ideas
or unite (with each other).
John Wyndhams The Chrysalids describes a dystopian world after a
nuclear war where the Church has total control (or you can also say
power) and (were able to force) forces everyone to look and think the
same and makes everyone believe that (the odd one or unique one)
anyone different must be destroyed. Because Waknuks society believes
in Purity; that man was chosen by God. Their idea of man is based on
a perfect image of a human without any physically and mentally
mutation. Therefore they hate mutants and see deviations a (as a )
creation of the devil. The main reason for supporting this belief is that
they think the God is angry with mutants, and the reason for causing
Tribulation or a nuclear holocaust is (because of) the punishment from
god and creating them unusual structure form( which created them
with unusual structure form.) (Therefore,) So the Norms are very
intolerant towards Mutants. In their society, the Church conditions
brainwashes the people by imposing the false beliefs in their mind and
posting The Devil is the father of deviation every bits of wall. The
government is also trying to create a meaningful society by bringing
down mutants and destroying them, and punishing those who helps
them by hiding them. After all this society clearly shows the future world
based on an arrogant contempt for the wishes of the few authorities
rather than a true justice.
Similarly, Ray Bradbury in Fahrenheit 451 describes a future world
where most people are forced to think, feel and act the same but here it

is through technology. The people here dont think much, which is what
government wants, and they are kept passive, with no connection or
communication to the outside world. (This is due to government being
too afraid to reveal their wrong doings in the past.) Because the
government is too afraid of revealing the truth history of their wrong
done. In order to obliterates their wrongful evidence, all the books are
burnt, so that people will have no connection with past and wont fight
for their basic rights. The government consider, who absorbed in TV,
music and machinery are set to be conform or NORM. Those who
disobey the laws such as walking out at late night, reading books and
driving little slow on highway will be jailed. Due to strong repression,
people are left with mentally illness with no emotions, no facial
impression, they dont know why they are unhappy and they take
sleeping pills before they go to sleep. This clearly shows the image of a
dystopian society of the future world.
Based on the world I see around me today, I too can imagine a world
where everyone conforms but simply through the power of advertising
and big companies controlling how people think for instance (big
companies controlling the way people think, for instance), Years
ago in China, a man sold his kidney just to buy an iPad. The new
inventions and fashions tend to create desire among people to run after
their products. From my own experience, I come to city to attain my two
morning classes and go back home by train, every time I observe
everyone being busy flickering their androids mobiles, ipads and
listening to music but I am afraid that one day our society might consider
being it as a conformity, which (will eventually leads to fading away
of) leads to fade away the interaction between people into oblivion. All
this is due to the power of advertising and the humans false conception
on advertisement.
After all, the world of dystopia really much (in fact depends) depends
on the desire of the oneself, misleading and ignorant. Thus, the power
of the majority and the individual desires to conform allows dystopia.
