The Giver

This article Meaning of Utopia by Yves Charles Zarka describes what a Utopia is to him and talks about Sir Thomas More's book "Utopia" which he describes as an attempt to conform society into a type of "Utopia". I have yet to read "Utopia", but I think if you have this article would mean a lot more. He also mentions Plato's Republic which I also want to read now. However, Zarka does not agree with the possibilities of any of these utopias.

Is a teacher supposed to tell you or simply provide the resources?



I just thought that this video was interesting.
