Utopias

I think utopias are a bad thing. First of all the more they try to fix us as humans the more they take away from our humanity.  Or what makes us human. Like in the Giver's utopia they really don't have feelings so they took away from our emotions. Or our emotional personalitlies that makes every single one of us unique. Also they changed to sameness so they all look the same which takes away their differences that make then unique also. I know this because, at the Ceremony Jonas saw them and they all had the same skin color. Also the utopia took away from their choices. Like the comitee chose all of their occupations, who they are married to, and their children. Another thing taken away from their personalities is that since they can't see color they can't personalize what they look like. All of these things are important parts of life. The utopia takes all of this away to the point of what is the point to living. There wasn't in the story they were just going through daily routines that didn't even matter.
