At the moment. the United States shows little resemblance with Thomas Moore's Utopia. According to Moore "Kindness and good nature unite men more effectively and with greater strength" (Moore). The United States is nowhere near united at this particular time, especially with the recent change in power. Moore also states "personal prejudice and financial greed are the great evils that threaten courts of law" (Moore). These two characteristics are two of the most common traits in the American system. In fact, I believe that it actually drives almost every action and decision, especially regarding government. Moore mentions that "the folly of men has enhanced the value of gold and silver because of their scarcity" (Moore). Money, in value of silver and gold, is the backbone of the American economy which relates to America's power. With these examples, America is not an utopia.
