It’s two in the afternoon and I wish I was still asleep, you see I have a one month old puppy in my lap which is absolutely adorable- when it’s asleep. When he is awake at 3 in the morning crying for me to let him into bed he’s just a little irritating. My mood at this moment: easy irritable.This assignment is not helping. As I’m scrolling through the New York Times looking for a piece to match with chapter 17 and 18 of Candide, I’m saying to Nobu, that’s the puppies name, that the world is a perfect example of a dystopia and that the news media’s are the proof of it, so why in the hell am I looking in the New York times for? I have complete opposites Eldorado a utopia, and the rest of the world is a dystopia… what now!?!?! Eldorado a place where fine gems are spread thought the ground, were only one religion exists, were court cases were unknown, where there was a palace of science, and were all men are free: was Voltaire utopia. In compare to the rest of the world were all went bad for Candide: “I often noticed that all went badly in Westphalia” (77). A world were slavery existed, where you were sought out because you were from a different religion, where money matter , this is Voltaire dystopia which he sadly live in. Still today problems exists in our world, just when I was scrolling down the Global edition of the New York Times I see the following headlines:
“Britain’s Expense Scandal Hits Brown’s Wallet, Gas Pipeline Drives Political Wedge Between Europe, Tax Day Looms for Americans With Offshore Bank Accounts, Car Bomb Kills at Least 41 in Restive Region of Pakistan, 6 Sentenced to Death in Xinjiang Riots, Chinese Magazine in Turmoil After Resignations, Defying Baghdad Kurdistan Halts Oil Exports, Clinton Urges Hewing to Irish Peace Process.”
What have we come to? All human ever have cared to do is dominate and doing so they are destroying the world, and themselves, and don’t even know it yet. They have bit the apple and when they realize it, it's going to be too late.
