Definitions: 1. an ideal place or state. 2. any visionary system of political or social perfection. The first definition, I believe, is the one most commonly used or most important. Source: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/utopia
Translated: My take on the first most common definition is that a Utopia is a perfect place or state. A place where there is no wrong, disagreement and all people that live there are happy and content with each other and themselves.
Part of speech: noun
There are no other forms of the word Utopia because it is a certain place.
Example sentences: 1. The small town was like a utopia, with the low crime rate and the close knit relationships of the community helped make the town more advanced.
2. The United States is unlike a utopia because of the excess amount of conflict and inconsistency in the social environment.
When to use it: The word utopia can easily be used in a English or social studies essay for school. It is a good word to summarize a place of no misdoings or conflicts and where all the people get along. Though this word can be used in school work it can also be used in everyday conservation. The conservation should be between a person in high school or older to guarantee there is no confusion. I can see myself using this word during conversation to describe a dream where nothing went wrong and all was perfect.
Synonyms: My word is a lot like dreamland, but it's different because a dreamland is almost always imaginary or just a place that one can only dream about. While utopia can be like a dream like place because of how perfect it is but can also be a very real place.
Antonyms: My word is pretty much the exact opposite of the word hell because hell symbolizes a place of corruption and horror while utopia symbolizes a place of perfection and happiness.
Usefulness: I give utopia three out of five stars because although the word is a useful word to use when describing a prefect, dream-like place, utopia is hard to use because of its exact definition of perfection. When actuarially using this word, you need to be talking about a place that has nothing wrong with it. I know for a fact that most places I bring up in conversation may seem perfect and like a utopia but technically by definition it isn't a utopia but it is not exactly perfect. It is useful in certain situations but many locations can't be classified as a utopia so it is hard to bring up in general conversation.
Explanation: This picture shows an example of a utopia because in the picture it shows great advances in structure and technology which could symbolize a society of peace without conflict. This "perfect" society helped to advance the city to the great lengths that they show in this picture.
