Societies do not last forever. There are flaws in any system, and as shown by past societies, none last forever. Conflicts arise through many things. Judgment, greed, and unhappiness can be the end to any society if not handled correctly. Under certain values and beliefs that transcendentalists hold, a society could flourish in modern day society. In Transcentopia, all citizens sport certain values that could help a transcendentalist society flourish today. Values in Transcentopia consist of being yourself, humans are innately good, and to follow your heart. Although some people think that a transcendentalist society would never work in today’s society, the transcendentalist beliefs, being yourself, humans are innately good, and following your heart, are why a transcendentalist society could be possible today.
Values in Transcentopia consist of being yourself, humans are innately good, and to follow your heart. Because humans are full of natural sin, and because of actions of real societies in the past, Transcentopia is considerably unrealistic. Humans have, and always will be greedy. No matter what opportunities are thrust at them, they will always want more. Similar to communist Russia and their actions from the past, all citizens are offered the same thing. Nevertheless, citizens in Russia were not happy, and when they knew that their work was taking them nowhere, they began to slack off, and this ruined the system. Under freedom offered by this transcendentalist society, citizens will always be allowed their own opinions and beliefs. Under this freedom there will always be one, if not more, who judge others because they are in some way different. A transcendentalist society is unrealistic because there is no way to avoid conflict. Although societies in the past prove never to be a utopian community, under certain transcendentalist beliefs, Transcentopia could thrive as a society.
In Transcentopia, there are many values and beliefs that all citizens follow. One of which is the belief that being yourself is the most important thing you can do. When this sort of belief is focused upon in society, the result is citizens also accepting others for who they truly are. In this society, no person would ever fear of being judged for their beliefs or values, and as a result would refrain from judging others. Acceptance would be a major difference in Transcentopia than of modern societies today. Conflicts over homosexuality, religion, and ethnicity would become nonexistent under these transcendentalist beliefs. Major conflicts that are apparent in real societies today like war and racism would never happen in a city like Transcentopia. Major conflicts are usually a result of arguments over differences, like racism and differences in religion. From actions portrayed by societies today, it is obvious that major conflicts are caused by differences in religion. The war in the Middle East show societies bitterness towards any culture that is different. In a city like Transcentopia, under transcendentalist beliefs, major conflicts like war would never occur. In Transcentopia, without major conflicts, the society would just continue to flourish and sport its values.
Other transcendentalist values held under Transcentopia, is the belief that humans are innately good. In Transcentopia one of the main buildings on Main Street is the National Bank. At the NBT, bankers specialize in keeping the economy at its best. The Bank is meant to keep their society out of poverty. All citizens are supported under this bank, and no person is ever poor or offered less than any other person. With the belief that humans are innately good, all citizens abide by the amount that they are given, and never get greedy. With support from this system, no person is ever unhappy under this system, and no one ever wants to ruin the system. Similar to communist Russia and their actions from the past, all citizens are offered the same thing. Nevertheless, citizens in Russia were not happy, and when they knew that their work was taking them nowhere, they began to slack off, and this ruined the system. All values held under this transcendentalist society support the happiness of its people. When all citizens are happy, they are driven to maintain the values and continue the system.
Following your heart, and trusting your instinct is another value held under this transcendentalist society. With help from the academy, all citizens are encouraged to be imaginative and individual. They are taught to follow their dreams, and as they grow up, they do. All citizens grow up to be exactly what they want to be and follow their hearts desire. All citizens are extremely happy when they are where they want to be, and as a result, society works efficiently. When a person loves their job, they do it well, consequently, society stays organized. Transcentopia, with no poverty, no judgment, and efficient citizens, would flourish under its transcendentalist beliefs. With all citizens being truly happy, no conflicts would ever arise, and no citizen would ever have to stress or worry. When all citizens are happy under the society that is supported by transcendentalist beliefs, they will do one thing against them, and that is conform to the system to help maintain their happiness.
Transcentopia would thrive with the transcendentalist beliefs that it is supported by. Being yourself, would eliminate judgment and major conflicts and would create acceptance. The value that humans are innately good, would keep all citizens out of poverty. Following your heart, would support the system and encourage happiness. All values under Transcentopia support the welfare and happiness of its citizens. When all citizens are happy, they will continue to support and maintain the system, helping the city thrive. Although some people think that a transcendentalist society would never work in today’s society, the transcendentalist beliefs, being yourself, humans are innately good, and following your heart, are why a transcendentalist society could be possible today.
