Post 24: A Little Less than More (Quick'un)
How's it going internet? Welcome to the Late Night English Blog! I'm your host and guy who's a little too into My Hero Academia Andy Ferguson and tonight we'll have a quick discussion on whether the United States of America measures up to Thomas More's "Utopia." As usual, we'll be doing this three point style:
1.) Religion- the island paradise of Utopia has some pretty specific policies regarding religion: everyone's entitled to their own so long as they don't bother others. In America, this is at least 75% true seeing as how our constitution protects the free practice of religion. However, there are no laws or punishments against zealotry that diminishes other religions. I mean there are workplace and housing discrimination laws, but nothing on the level of Utopia's "exile or enslavement" policy.
2.) Money- Utopians have developed an economy that is virtually independent on currency. America, not so much.
3.) Foreign Relations- another half-and-halfer; it is not uncommon for the nation of Utopia to lend beareaucrats to other nations to help them govern. America doesn't do this exactly but we do have embassies and the like in most countries. So kinda.
That's it for tonight. Thanks for reading.
