Create a perfect society profile:

Possible categories:

laws

Fair rules are rules that treat everyone the same. Nobody gets special treatment. All people follow the same rules. The rules are simple and easy to understand. No one gets extra rights or extra power. The rules protect everyone and keep people safe. If someone breaks a rule, the consequence is fair and not too harsh.

daily routines

The workday is short (4–5 hours) because automation handles repetitive labor. People spend their remaining time on creativity, community, rest or learning.

family life

—> Family life is one of the most important elements of a utopia. A typical family consists of a husband, a wife, and at least one child. They never argue and are always happy. This perfect harmony at home serves as the foundation for peace and stability in the entire society.

freedom

—> Be Yourself: Everyone can dress, speak, and live how they want.

—> Choice: You can choose your own path in life. The only limit is that your choices must not harm anyone else.

education

—> Free for everyone

—> Easier to gain knowlege through technology

—> Everyone achieves the same educational standards
