What do you think is the most important element of a perfect society? How can people work towards achieving an ideal society? Outline 10’ - 6:31 pm are means to an end Example-led approach Since the dawn of civilization, mankind has fantasized about creating a utopia. However, what constitutes this type of society has still been a question of debate. In this essay, I will first point out the foremost factor contributing to a perfect society, before proposing some measures to make it a reality. From my perspective, at the heart of human endeavor lies the quest for a fulfilling life, free from pain and suffering. This pursuit of happiness is evident in our daily lives. Adults often devote considerable time to their careers, aspiring for advancement and financial stability, which most of them associate with happiness. By the same token, children are encouraged to excel academically, under the belief that academic success paves the way for a comfortable future. If we shift our focus further, efforts to combat racism and promote gender equality also aim to cultivate a happier, more equitable society where no individual feels marginalized/ sidelined/ left out. These examples underscore happiness as the cornerstone of any utopian vision.
