This theory is based in a world without money, without unemployment and without debt. The country will be called Utopia. Although the following is closer to a dystopia world, in this world no one has ever known any better. This means that the world is all they know. There are no other countries that they know of.
Utopia is very controlled country. There is no war, no hunger, no debt, no money and no unemployment. The government control employment, leisure, child birth, food, transport, religion and relationships. All people of Utopia are allocated supplies and a place to live. When a male in Utopia reaches 21 he is made available for women. When a woman in Utopia reaches 18 she is made available for men. The relationships are fixed no interracial or same sex relationships are allowed. When a male and a female feel they are compatible the female is to move in with the male and her property if her parents are not living there is made available for new people. The male and the female are then allowed to one successful child birth. By this the male is taken to a clinic where he is to donate semen and the woman is then impregnated with that semen. Only one child pre couple is allowed in built up parts of Utopia. In other parts of Utopia depending on certain factors such as IQ, the couple’s trade and the population where they are living, additional children may be allowed. If a woman falls pregnant without permission her child is aborted and DNA taken to determine the father, who is then charged with illegal intercourse.
Crime is very controlled if someone is charged with something they are moved to a prison county and taken away from their family. In the prison county there are no relationships and people are made to work harder than before. If people refuse or do not comply they are charged with failure to support the community and sent to death. The laws are very strict and freedom is limited in Utopia.
When someone is born they are schooled and educated in the ways of live in Utopia. They are controlled and not allowed to be free. When they reach 16 the males get 4 years forced work in the police forces. There is no army as there is only one country and there has never been a war. Women when they reach 16 will learn a trade suited best to them. Women are banned from working in the forces or gaining access to high jobs. A woman is likely to become a nurse or work producing clothing or child care. Some women who were unable to find a partner might be classed as worthless and forced to work as a servant. Women when pregnant were not allowed to work and when the child was born could only work during schooling times. Men after they left the police would be given the option to continue and stay in the police or begin to work as something else. In the police they would be educated in other trades to help them when they leave. The government would put people in jobs that they was best at.
But what about Christmas in Utopia how would Christmas be? Well there is no Christmas in Utopia. Quite simply in the world created there is no Jesus and as a result no Christmas day to celebrate his birthday. That does not mean there are not holidays just not the holidays that are present in our world.
So what would Christmas be like in this Utopia of world? Well let me explain how holidays work in Utopia. Considering the fact that a holiday would be like a massive day off for so many people, the world of Utopia does not have holidays as such. Birthdays are celebrated as a holiday for the birthday person. On a persons birthday in Utopia they are given the day off of work. This is the only time of the year they are given a day off without having to choose.
The birthday holiday is as close to Christmas as there is in Utopia. They do not celebrate New Years as to them there is no start or end of the year, other than their birthday. So the birthday holiday is both New Year and their birthday in one. The start of the year is the same as their date of birth. There is still days and months just nothing to say December is the last month. There is one problem which makes it unlike Christmas or New Years in that friends and family’s birthdates are likely to be different, and as such no holidays. Because pregnancy is regulated most people try to make sure their babies are born close to their parent’s birthdays. A normal birthday holiday is spent with family who ask for a day off. The day starts with another family member cooking for the birthday person. There is no alcohol as all substances that can cause impairment to a person’s ability to work are outlawed. So they eat a meal and enjoy the company around them. People wish them a happy new year as for the birthday person it is a new year. On their birthday they are given access to extra food and drinks to be able to entertain.
This was originally going to be part of a set of stories but in the end merged into one. I was tempted to call it “A Christmas in Dystopia” although I feel that this world would work. It would work because everyone would be under the control of the government. The government would have full power and the human or who ever race it has would work like machines. This means from a government point of view this is a utopian world. The problem is the people of this world would not really enjoy life much. I mean a world where everything required is given to you is not really the perfect world. People enjoy choice people enjoy the ability to say yes and say no. For a government to be able to tell what people can and cannot do is for the person to lose self choice. Personal choice to drink or buy more food, pick your job go on holiday. All these allow a person to experience the best of life. If the lives of everything is restricted to allow everyone equal life, there is no individuality. People should be allowed to choose their own path in life not follow a set example. Christmas is an example of a set event. People year after year enjoy Christmas not because they know the story but because everyone else does. This is proof enough that with choice people does not necessarily mean they will chose to cause problems. The choices in which someone causes problems or does not help society should not be forced but educated otherwise. Merry Christmas and the lesson hear if not very clear is to not preach your ways to others unless their ways are causing pain to others including you!
