They pursued radical theologies that deflected society’s traditional way of life and norms, which allowed people to usher social progress regarding gender equality, but it simultaneously resulted in a corrupt, ineffective society that steadily diminished due to its extreme ideals. Ultimately, these utopian societies taught the people that it is acceptable to challenge what was traditional, but it's not a good idea to attempt to achieve a perfect community.]]> 2017-10-31 19:09:30 UTC https://padlet.com/mdang567/rm5aonaig538/wish/202301133 Causes (why were utopias created) megantsou405 https://padlet.com/mdang567/rm5aonaig538/wish/202301977 - outbreak of events led to the commoners wanting to escape from restrictive norms of society
