Thank you We sneak in Dystopian literature More is utopia

00:09

Last month what kind of government does more's utopia have

00:16

even though this was published in fifteen sixteen Ah lot

00:20

of what appears in it is kind of recognisable Today

00:24

the government in utopia is more or less a representative

00:28

government People elect a single representative who you know considers

00:33

the best interests of a set number of people and

00:37

like in america right now those people can be gotten

00:41

rid of if they're not being fair So it's a

00:44

pretty even governmental system women don't take part in it

00:50

Only men do that's very standard for this time but

00:54

other than that it's really reasonable what's life like for

00:59

men in this utopia in terms of work it's super

01:04

appealing people are supposed to work but not too much

01:07

so the work day is six hours and that gives

01:10

them enough time to work which usually means some kind

01:14

of manual labor for the good of their town And

01:17

then they use the rest their time learning and studying

01:22

and being creative but awesome but also having as much

01:25

leisure time as they need So it's a very nice

01:29

life What's life like for women in this utopia women

01:35

again because they are not in the minds of these

01:39

men able to do as much They work less They're

01:43

still in charge of raising families and that sort of

01:45

thing So they participate very actively just less because you

01:51

know women are less in this mind in this mindset

02:00

What kind of government does more's utopia have What's life

02:04

life for men in this utopia what's life like for 00:02:06.923 --> [endTime] women in this utopia
