intro to essay

Can anything in the world be known as perfect, such as jobs, relationships, traveling, or the world itself? If so, how can we define this certain something as perfect? Perfection can be seen as being flawless; there are no defects or problems. It can be seen as an adjective, describing people, places and things as nice, beautiful, charming, loving, satisfying and pleasing. Although when we think of “perfect”, is it reality or imaginary? For example, in our society’s case, perfection is imaginary due to war, poverty, hunger, torture and crime. Seeing our community as a perfect environment is certainly setting high standards that would take time and consideration from people to achieve.
Another form of being “perfect” is Utopia; which is a name for an ideal society. Utopia is seen as unrealistic; displaying a faultless image of the world around us. The reason for Utopia being unrealistic is because it sets high standards of the world that people will never see. For instance, Utopia would present an image of the world showing cultures interacting friendly with other cultures. It would show these cultures enjoying each other’s company and beliefs and not judging one another by color or race. In this case, the term perfect is important because the welcoming of different cultures can eventually lead into world peace. If there were to be any issues between the groups, the solutions to the problems would not include violence or war. For a society to be ideal may be asking for too much but it is a thought that makes us wonder if a perfect society would ever happen.
