Utopia
Utopia is
ideal an community or society possessing
a perfect socio-politico-legal
system. It is usually an isolated ideal system in equilibrium is perfect. A static equilibrium is where the
system is devoid of crises or problemses. This idea of equilibrium is very
fragle and usually crumbels when faced with a unijue and novel crisis or
problem. This idea of equilibrum also renders progress impossible as the
socio-politico-legale system is perfect as it is and does not require or
faclitate change and the processes of bettrment and proress are rendered
obsolete.
A more stable and practical approach of creating
a utopia is where the equilibrium is dynamic. This entales that there is
costant crisis but the sotiety is equiped to come up with solutions for each of
them. Hence the society progresses and mutates to accommodate the crises faced
along the way. Not only would such an idee of equilibrium help find solutions
for problems faced, but it can also pre-empt problems that might arose in the
future and equip itself in such a way as to overcome them.
An isolated system is considered for similar
cutting reasons of cutting down external factors that may cause disruption
interruption. The utopia which is being created here will hence be an isolated
system possessing a dynamic equilibrium state.
The social system is loose-based on the situate of our sub-continent as
it provides enough socio-cultural and economic diversity. It is planned to
design questionnare for youths to fill regarding intentions for state run
utopia society.
The
basic problem faced by all utopian structures is that when a person or a group
of people are vested power, their inherent nature is to acquire more and
preserve it just amongst themselves cliquism or neoptism. Hence the aim
exercise is to nullify that happening and to ensure that no one is vested with
contrastingly more power than others ie rich poor, famous unknowns, big small.
This can be ensured by employing a two-step voting system, firstly to elect
candidates into the legislature and secondly to ensure they do not acquire
unhealthy amounts of power by giving the general population the right to vote
for the policies suggested by the legislature. Legislatures becomes the
executives only for implenetation fo policies which people can referendum
online on petitions sites. Legislature can propose and advertise but voting is
by the peoples online. Everything go for referendum before parliament debates.
Parliament has to pass majority supported bills as they are rubber stamps.
Every
individual in the nation will be issued a unique identification number. Each
individual has the option to choose their mode of voting. Since their identity
number is unique, voting can be done only once and on a database through
electronic mediums like the computer or the cellular phone. This greatly
reduces the time taken for the entire voting process as simultaneity of voting
is highly increased. The database where the voting is conducted will also show
the immediate results as and when an individual has voted. Thisderiving
licence, passport etc. one ducment instead of man y number is also tax account
number, and people can change city, job, telephone etc oonly on strength of id
no.
Illiteracy
is a big hurdle in the practicality of this system. So the illiterate populaces
will have polling booths which are equipped with devices with the said database
as an interface. Spekaing mechines and keyboards will guide them through voting
processed. speaking the vernacular of
the area or the preferred vernacular of the voter. This way, the errors faced
due to illiteracy can be reduced. This can be further reduced through an
efficient educational system which is as follows. Follows.
The
educateds need nots be in the school or colleges but can get from home. Thus
even the housewives or disableds shall not miss out on the educations, they
shall be able to also learn anything they require through cooking sites, wikis,
all these things.
Land ownership
All
land will be owned by the state on a horizontal basis. Agricultural land will
also be owned by the state and will be divided into quadrants on a practical by
basis and farmers will be employed on a salaried bases to work on these agricultural
lands. There will be a basic and very reasonable minimum required standard of
performance depending on the land and climate, failing which will cost one
his/her job as farmer people. As mentioned before, the ownership of a farmland
will not be solely on a hereditary basis and a minimum level of education
(basic school leaving examination) is required for an individual to be eligible
for this. Online accreditation for the farmers inlcude soil knowledges, stock
leeping, .retail tehoryes and also agribusinesses.
Coming
to possession of inhabitable land, an individual can only own a maximum of one
horizontal tract of land per state which is taxable by the state. He can
however upgrade to a bigger tract of land provided he gives up his erstwhile
place of residence for sale. Subletting
will be banned. A housing development corporation will be present and effective
to provide residence to people who cannot afford the minimum cost of buying
inhabitable land. Farmers will live and farm. Since there is online facilities
for most other works, they can be the stay at the rurals places they are
working there.
Individuals
wishing to engage in private enterprise could buy habitable space near the
place where he could acquire resources for the enterprise. Since there are no
hereditary land rights, incidents like Singur or Nandigram would not arise.
People would find it easier to travel for work or pleasure as residence in any
place would be contingent and temporary. Ancestral housing will be tenanted but
not owned.
Education
shall be delivered on a demand basis. Private individuals havign skilland
knowladge shall be required to give vlountary teachign time onlinee. Syllabi
shall not be prescriptive but rather suggestional. Kids will create their own
pace of the learnings. Exams will not have time limits only or fixed dates.
Anyone can click and take. Accreditation shall be overseen by the state and as
this is delivered online the cost of individual teaching will drop drastically.
Tecahers will have choice of teaching and kids can take any class advertised
online that they chooose. ,universitys will be aboloushed.
Conclusions.
I have found that the questions the youngs wiches to ask as all about the
education and the politics. They are not conerned so much for the interpersoanl
and the childcare. This reflects their demographies/
Judiciary
The
judiciary system will be independent, beyond and supreme to the legislature as
it is usually. The ideal situation of consitution shall be required to exist on
the ground. Implementation is key. Due
to the variable measuring possibility of human error being reduced drastically,
the judiciary will not face a crisis or be effective enough to pose a crisis on
the nation on any scale, hence the chance of coups or state terrors are
lowredd. Power is split between judiciary system and enforcement. Due to the absence
and/or ineffectiveness of political parties due to the two tier voting system,
the judiciary has more reason to be neutral and impartial of thinking. Amendment will require further process of
law. Private legal aid will be abolished and all lawyers will be maintained
from tax money. A special fund will be created for legal aid for citizens who
are involved in cases. No one will be able to ‘buy’ the best legal brains. The
judiciary will also ensure that the legislature cannot interfere with a policy
or an act after it has been voted on and passed. It will guard the peoples
rigth to vote on table d bills.
Security
On
a personal level, a social security system will be in effect to provide a
minimum amount of money to people without an employment but only in the case of
this unemployment being a result of physical shortcomings. A social security
system will also be in effect for victims of natural disasters and criminal
activities, especially women. A portion of the taxable money from an individual
will mandatorily go to a medical insurance fund.
Healthcare
will also be absolutely a state agenda and not privatized. Hospitals shall not
charge money but will be given corpus fund at start of fin year. Since the
education is also a state run agenda, the state will have intellectual
copyright over patents and all profits benefits the state. However an
individual who innovates in medicine and science may earn monetary incentive
similar to royalty from the sale of his innovations with rarer and bigger innovations
having a higher percentage of royalty (for example, cancer medication which is
massive in importance but meager in sales). This way medicine will not have
patents and the cost of healthcare on an individual basis is highly reduced.
Individual merits shall be encoruaged alos with pretige awards and listins thus
clebrity will reward the innovators
The
inland security system or the police system will also be beyond the legislature
but directly under the judiciary. An individual will have the right to appeal
to the police and the judiciary via personal mediums such as the telephone or
the computer. The police are answerable to the judiciary by default regarding
any case that has been appealed to the court. Due procress tha shall be
monitorable by victims family and friend but private to others. Questions can
be asked in parliament about individual cases.
Defense
The
defense policy in case of external attack can just be a standard first strike
policy. Military spending is the inalienable of the staet. Border patrol must
be vigiliatn and as the utpopia will be atrractice to outsiodeers. Outside
redugeess such as have come from Partition times will now be economic migrants
the healthcare and education will be temtping and attracive.
While
a favorable solution could not be found for this problem, simultaneously this
utopia being an isolated system, the chances of an emergency or wartime
situation with an alien threat can be bypassed altogether. If borders are
impermeable outside threat whether of refuigee or of military can be stopped
there. As for ICBM attacks, for thie wee need good and alert air force.
Stnadign ground trooops can be disbanded or turned into remote survellianee ce.
Foering policy will be downscaled as our needs of outside things will decrease.
As is already happneing, we will become net manufactorers exporting to the west
and so will not need to engage in foreign.
Threat
response
In
emergency situations where on the spot decisions are to be made, the vote for
changing policies will be inefficient due to the time taken. On the other hand,
if defense policies are solely discussed to the discretion of the legislature
and the judiciary, chances are that this power will be usurped and manipulated
to bring in fascism. Hence tehre must be hairtrigger responding cell inside
PMO.
Conclusion
The
above mentioned utopian system has been structured in a “periphery to core”
method. This is because of the essentiality of crisis on a familial level in
order for a family to feel necessary to be part of a bigger community. Several
small crises that may arise from the above system have indeed been noticed but
not considered as stray crises on a small level works very ineffectively and
insignificantly. In case of the crises growing in magnitude, the system facilitates
individuals to address these problems with effective and fast solutions.
Communication is key: if enough people have the same problem, they will solve
it.
