Contradictory Phenomena in Utopia Abstract Utopia is the place which people regard as the perfect place with the perfect social institution. And in most people’s eyes, Utopians can enjoy the equal social status of men and women, or of the privileged people and the ordinary people, and also they may lead the most comfortable life in the world. However, the truth tells us that there are some contradictory phenomena in Utopia. This thesis will mainly focus on two parts in terms of the contradiction including the conflict embodied in the social status and the social institution. By the deliberate thinking, it can be found that even nowadays the similar Utopian-style conflicts still exist. In some areas of the real world, women cannot get the same rights as men and the privileged people seem to enjoy more convenience. What’s more, under some social institutions which need to be improved, the countries’ development of the productivity is limited and people are suffering from the lack of freedom. They are the social issues worth of our thinking and our efforts to figure out feasible solutions.71153

乌托邦中矛盾的现象

摘  要人们将乌托邦视作最完美的国度，认为那里有着最完美的社会体制。在人们的眼中，乌托邦人民拥有平等的社会地位，男女地位平等，高官贵族与平民百姓的地位也是平等的，并且那里的人们过着世界上最悠闲舒适的生活。然而，事实上乌托邦这个国家中存在着很多矛盾的方面。本篇论文将主要围绕矛盾来探讨两个方面的问题，一是体现在社会地位上的矛盾，另一个是体现在社会制度上的矛盾。经过深入的思考后，不难发现，这些所谓的乌托邦式的矛盾在我们现实生活也同样存在。在世界上的一些地区中，女人得不到与男人同样权利，高官贵族享受着社会上更多的福利等等……不仅如此，在某些亟待改变的社会制度下，一些国家的社会生产力的发展受到影响，人们的自由也受到一定程度的限制。这些社会问题都值得我们思考，也需要我们不断努力来寻找一些切实可行的解决方法。
