Economic Development

Currency

• Checking and banking system• We will still have money

lending and interest

Social classes

• There will be many different levels on the social class pyramid

Resources• Trees are used for money not for houses or

paper• We will have our education based on

technology so we do not use paper (trees)

• Bricks and other materials (not paper) is used to build houses or any other objects that require wood

• We will also plant many plants and environmentally helpful materials.

• Money is spent on filtering the water from the ocean so there is more drinking water

Taxes/Services• Taxes will be charged for the amount of

water, electricity and gases each individual uses

• Government provides:– community composts– curbside recycling/trash collecting system– local police forces– a mailing system– sewage systems– roads– education – medical care.

Religious Development

Religion

• In our utopia, there won’t be any established religion

• Building off of the situation in which people of our society are ethical, and don’t need religion to be ethically motivated

• Ethical: motivation is based on ideas of right and wrong

Reasons

• Wars/violent disagreements are shown to often occur due to religion (when there are multiple religions)

• The problem with one religion is that it will slowly develop into multiple religions

• Certain areas of science would develop more fully (in the case of the lack of some possible religious beliefs)

(other than no need for motivation to be ethical)

Evidence From History• Examples from history that show the war, disagreement,

and lives cost due to religion and religious disagreements include:

The Crusades, the Thirty Years War, and the Reconquista The crusades show this in that they were a series of wars

between Christians and Muslims over the Holy Land If these people had not been religious, they wouldn’t have

waged war against each other Holy Land wouldn’t have existed without religion, and

therefore having no religion would eliminate a reason for war

Disadvantages• Religion brings people together• Religion can help people get major

accomplishments done• Religion can encourage people to behave more

ethically• In our utopian society, people are ethical and

don’t require religion • This may be accomplished by teaching ethics in

schools
