Political System in "Utopia" and "Blade Runner"
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper discussing these different, yet similar, political systems. Sir Thomas More roundly criticized all those who chose to remain idle rather than produce some item or service of value, and no class was more guilty than was the idle rich. They depended on their peasants to work their lands; their peasants depended on them to provide protection against invasion by outside forces. More described a picture of a society dependent on peasants' production according to their talents, rather than on their loyalty to the manor master. Blade Runner holds a picture of a group ready to demonstrate to its controllers its dependence on their production, which is also based on their capabilities. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
