Brave New World Project Creating a Utopian Society

Overview of Project As an extension of the novel Brave New World, you will be creating a "utopian" society with a partner. The society presented in our story is a fictional account of a futuristic totalitarian community that has arisen many years after the devastation of the "9 years War" that has almost wiped out the Earth and all humanity. YOUR society does not have to start this way. This is your opportunity to be creative!

Steps for this Activity You will first review the links provided to review the definition of utopia and utopian societies. Next, partners will brainstorm ideas for each required section of the presentation. A handwritten or typed preview of the project must be approved by me before you begin to create your PowerPoint presentation. Sign-up for your presentation day. Create your presentation (minimum of ten slides). Review and edit presentation as necessary.

Content of Slides Introductory slide(s) that includes a definition of the word utopia, the name of the society created, how this society came to be (war, natural disaster, etc.) and a flag representing your society. In addition, each group will have to include a slide that describes how their utopia handles each of the following areas (you only need to choose eight): Religion Educational system Economy Rituals/Traditions Law and Order Transportation Entertainment Form of government Societal Structure Family Structure * Each slide must have a corresponding picture that represents the section discussed.

Hopeville USA A Utopian Society Example

Utopia – A perfect world Background * Hopeville USA was created in 2075 AMN (After Mother Nature) after 40 years of devastation due to a series of natural disasters that began with a 9.5 earthquake located in central California. Subsequent earthquakes were triggered as well as numerous tsunami’s. Half of the world’s population died in the initial disasters, and a quarter more perished over the following few years due to disease and famine.

System of Government The basis for the Utopian government in Hopeville is Communism. Everyone is equal and works for the common good of the whole. The community is of vital importance. There is no individualism because it creates conflict and dissent among the people.
