Individuality is the greatest threat to a utopian society, if one person doesn’t like the way the leader is running the show, then why should you continue to follow their lead? This is the problem I tackled in my final project, as I produced a seminar that was telling students from a fictional institution how to run their utopian societies in a way where they could eliminate or control individuality.

The fourth tip talks about watching over your citizens, using cameras that would be placed in advantages positions. It’s sort of an extension of the third tip, but the police force cannot watch every citizen 24/7. I suggest that robots should be watching the cameras to catch citizens in the act of individuality or at least see any early signs of antisocial or individual
