Asking the same question to myself, How would I visualise Utopia?
NO PLACE, BUT A MOMENT IN TIME.
I am not sure at this point what Utopia means to me. Tracing the footsteps of an ever-changing humanity it is clear that for billions of years our existence has moved through ‘time’.
Our very design has always been to reproduce, learn and hand down our knowledge through time. An immortal cycle of time, life, death and rebirth.
As it seems we only access a small percentage of our brain's capacity, Why?
If we had access to the furthest reaches of our brains abilities, if we were able to unlock all obstacles such as pain, memory our own bodies our possibilities of a utopian world could be infinity.
Each cell connecting to another exchanging thousands of electrical impulses, information which is used to create new ideas and new worlds. (perfect worlds).
Perhaps to not being human is the answer to Utopia. But to be a force of energy connecting like neurones. We uniquely have the ability to communicate complex and abstract ideas. Through language we have built civilisations, developed science and medicine, literature, spirituality and philosophy.
So to conclude I believe that..... Time is Utopia.
What is quite interesting is that in the Islamic religion there is a narration where God says to Prophet Muhammed “I am time”.
Aristotle (384—322 B.C.E.)
Aristotle is a towering figure in ancient Greek philosophy, making contributions to logic, metaphysics, mathematics, physics, biology, botany, ethics, politics, agriculture, medicine, dance and theatre. He was a student of Plato who in turn studied under Socrates. http://www.iep.utm.edu/aristotl/
Definition of the THREE UNITIES.
Definitions: - The three principles of dramatic construction derived by French neo-classicists from Aristotle’s Poetics, holding that a play should have one unified play (UNITY OF ACTION) and that all the action should occur within oneway (UNITY OF TIME) and be limited to a single locale (UNITY OF PLACE).
Utopia, an ideal commonwealth whose inhabitants exist under seemingly perfect conditions. Hence utopian and utopianism are words used to denote visionary reform that tends to be impossibly idealistic.
For thousands of years human beings have dreamt of perfect worlds, worlds free of conflict, hunger and unhappiness. But can these worlds ever exist in reality?
What does Utopia Mean to you?
(I asked this question guided with headings such as, birth, education, employment, marriage, children, death, life expectancy, equality and politics to a few friends and family and these are the answers I received:-
A world free of borders. No locks
No Walls.
No locks on each other
No chastity
No owner
One cosmos we are all one family.
The babel of tongues is understood by all
To have a liberated mind
There is no wife
No husband, No daughter, No son, No owner
Respect as equal with No emotional locks.
Child aged 12
Each country is made of different foods, one made of Fruit, and another of jelly. A sea of Chocolate and fish that talk. All families live together mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers. All cousins live in the same house on the same street. We can use our minds to communicate at a long distance. What we enjoy doing most is recognised and we become the greatest. There is no need to study we can just charge our brains in at night so like google we can simple know stuff. We can fly like birds and talk to all the animals
No need for money we just sell what we have or do the other person a favour. We live till we are 1,0000.000 years old
. We can charge are brains at night
Sweets hang from trees
and we have rockets on the bottom of my feet.
To be born from my mummy.
To live with my family.
To play with my friends
To go to school and read books and draw pictures
To live in my house and have fun
To sleep in my bed with my teddies with my family here with me.

I’m not really sure what I’d say my utopia would be I think many people would say world peace or equality would be in a utopia but with these things we’d have nothing to strive for and things would be boring.
Obviously me having a large interest in education would impose my idea of a utopia. I think I would definitely change the structure of society so that there is equality of opportunity and success is based on how far someone has come from the start of their life. I know this would have a side effect of actually reducing some “unfair” inequality that we have.
My last point would be in relation to travel particularly if the utopia was only a slightly perfected version of society. Mostly because I value travel so much, I’d have to make it compulsory for everyone to travel a certain amount each year in order for them to understand other cultures and ways of life. I think this too would have the unintentional effect of eradicating racism and appreciating others’ values more, but the actually main purpose of this point would be have a society whose people have a balanced life between work and leisure and also become knowledgeable beings in their own right.
I think there is nothing worse than the culturally ignorant.
