Blog 2: Utopia and Dystopia

Utopia; An ideal place or state.  URL: "http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/utopia?s=t"
Dystopia; a society characterized by human misery, as squalor, oppression, disease, and overcrowding.  URL: "http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/dystopia?s=t"
I believe an Utopia is a perfect society whom everyone dreams to live in at some point in life. I believe that this society is so clean no pollution, no crimes, and anything bad. It is a area where one could feel safe, walking down a street not worrying about what could happen; at any given moment. A utopia is a fictional area of land that we all know will never happen only in movies. On the other hand an Dystopia defines the area that we all live in today. The population of the world keeps increasing by the minute, which causes all the characteristics of a dystopia. A utopia is the complete opposite of a dystopia. When you think of utopia you think of a heavenly clean place, where nothing goes wrong. A dystopia just sounds like a disgusting word let a lot on the definition behind it. A dystopia is filled with global warming, all sorts of diseases, unhealthy land to live in. And sadly we live in this so called land described by the definition of a dystopia. We breathe in this air that we know is so polluted but we have no other solution. I truly believe that this land that we have used to be an utopia until all these advancements in technology and the industrial revolution was created. Some examples that come to mind when I think of a utopia is heaven, park, a private beach, and etc. Some examples that come to mind when I think of a dystopia is the land we live in, a hospital, these poor countries, and etc. Bascially I wish we lived in a utopia live would have been so less stressful.  

Blog 1: Autobiographical


Hi my name is Samira Sujkovic and I am a freshman in LaGuardia community college. I am 18; I live in Astoria with my family. I live with both my parents, and my two brother’s one is 21 the other is 6. I am currently employed at a internet café in Astoria working part time 6 hours a day. I graduated from William Cullen Bryant high school this year in June. My goal in life is to have a career in fashion design or anything dealing with that industry. Everybody has their dreams and I have mine, which is to become successful one day. Adjusting from the life of having everything done for you in high school to doing everything on your own in college is a drastic change; but it’s a apart of growing up in life. After attending LaGuardia I would like to transfer to the college F.I.T. in the city to pursue my dream. I don’t like relying on people way to much I basically do everything on my own. I enjoy having a good time and I laugh a lot when I’m around friends. You could say I’m pretty social when it comes to meeting people. One of the most important people in my life that has a huge impact on me is my best friend Meranda. I have known Meranda for a few years now, we are basically inseparable. Both Meranda and I are like the same person but in two different bodies. Before working at the internet café I worked at a Pharmacy for a year. I know way to much about medication then I should have, and about all these little remedies. I have lived in Astoria my entire life I haven’t moved from there and I don’t plan to. Well that basically sums it up all about me.
