The Oneida Community was founded in effort to create a peaceful and utopian-like society, filled with human perfection and righteousness. ]]> 2022-11-08 19:17:27 UTC https://padlet.com/gabbyrobbins/kxpyyq9uoize6xn6/wish/2375575637 gabbyrobbins https://padlet.com/gabbyrobbins/kxpyyq9uoize6xn6/wish/2375582707 One of the biggest practices of the Oneida community was the practice of communalism. The Oneida community believed that property was communal, meaning all members could share it and each had rights to it. Additionally, this communal theory also related to possessions. Communalism was a major pillar in the belief system of the Oneida Community, where they believed that no singular human had claims to property or things because everyone did. This practice also did apply to children, as most children were raised communally and did not live with their own parents.]]> 2022-11-08 19:22:19 UTC https://padlet.com/gabbyrobbins/kxpyyq9uoize6xn6/wish/2375582707 gabbyrobbins https://padlet.com/gabbyrobbins/kxpyyq9uoize6xn6/wish/2375593289 The Oneida community believed sincerely in the practice of free love, where the sacred union meant for marriage was not not necessarily exclusive to just one's spouse. The belief was that complex marriage would end commitments to just merely one spouse or family. The Oneida community thought that men were divinely joined to all women, in the attempt to eliminate possessiveness and exclusivity. ]]> 2022-11-08 19:30:11 UTC https://padlet.com/gabbyrobbins/kxpyyq9uoize6xn6/wish/2375593289 gabbyrobbins https://padlet.com/gabbyrobbins/kxpyyq9uoize6xn6/wish/2375598028 In the Oneida community, communal elders, especial those considered to be godly, religious and sexual mentors for adolescents and members of the youth. Noyes strongly encouraged relationships between the non-devout and the devout to form, in the hopes that the behaviors and tendencies of devout would encourage those of the non-devout. ]]> 2022-11-08 19:33:51 UTC https://padlet.com/gabbyrobbins/kxpyyq9uoize6xn6/wish/2375598028 gabbyrobbins https://padlet.com/gabbyrobbins/kxpyyq9uoize6xn6/wish/2375601428 The Oneida Community believed in subjecting all their members to criticism by a committee or the community during a general meeting. The main goal of this intense criticism was the removal of any undesirable traits that one might possess. Overall, this attempt at societal perfection is another example of the ways in which this community attempted to reach a happy, perfect utopian, free from severe human error. ]]> 2022-11-08 19:36:19 UTC https://padlet.com/gabbyrobbins/kxpyyq9uoize6xn6/wish/2375601428 gabbyrobbins https://padlet.com/gabbyrobbins/kxpyyq9uoize6xn6/wish/2377979021 Brook Farm - The Brook Farm Community utilized the ideas of Charles Fourier mainly, which included the distinctions placed in society based on age, gender, or class. Additionally, those who invested in this society would become automatic members. In order to remove competitiveness and tension in America at this time, the Brook Farm Community pushed for communal living to encourage peace. Also, they developed the excellent school theory, in the hopes that with a lighter educational workload, children would develop the desire to learn.
Mormons - Founded by Joseph Smith and emerging during the 2nd Great Awakening, Mormons pushed for intense religious zeal through many different ways. Mormons believed in modesty, especially for young women, and were extremely strict about it. Mormons also believed in polygamy, the practice of having more than one spouse at the same time. Additionally, fasting, eternal marriage, good vs. evil, and baptism of the dead were more core beliefs of the Mormons.
New Harmony - Led by George Rapp, the New Harmony Community believed that the Second Coming of Christ would occur within their lifetimes. The Harmonists, as they were referred to, believed in a strict religious doctrine, pushed for harmony between women and men, and advocated for celibacy among its members. Good were produced collectively by the members and all was shared equitably amongst them.]]> 2022-11-10 04:24:17 UTC https://padlet.com/gabbyrobbins/kxpyyq9uoize6xn6/wish/2377979021 gabbyrobbins https://padlet.com/gabbyrobbins/kxpyyq9uoize6xn6/wish/2377980017 The Oneida Community was only a solidified entity for a little over 30 years and could not survive the 19th century. The Oneida Community was dissolved in 1881, but set up a Joint-Stock Company eventually as Oneida Limited, where it is now one of the world's largest designers and producers of tableware and cutlery. ]]> 2022-11-10 04:25:22 UTC https://padlet.com/gabbyrobbins/kxpyyq9uoize6xn6/wish/2377980017
