MY DREAM UTOPIAN COMMUNITY

Conflicts and war became a global agenda affecting almost every part of the world, many people died, many injured and millions displaced. Families, relatives and close friends are separated by manmade conflicts. Let me take an example of the African nations destroyed by civil and political wars. It also resulted millions of people being affected by famine and drought. Children remained orphans under the care of no body weather individual philanthropist, humanitarian aid organization or even government local social movement support. Many children witnessed the killings of their innocent parents.
After watching the video love made me inventor, many children never had the opportunity of being loved and cared for. It is heart touching for the many children being neglected during the most mysterious moments of the lives. I am imaging the state of no parental care, love and support. It is absolutely difficult to live without parents in such critical situations in countries.   Community is a basic pillar of shaping individual and family behavior.  Individual’s behavior is determined by how the norms of the community shape their membership.
In a community set up children is a basic role of primary care givers, children need special care in the process of raising from infancy to youth and from youth to adulthood. Children should be morally and emotionally taken care of especially in their adolescence stage where they can be influenced by peer pressure. In this stage if life, guidance, counselling and emotional support is paramount in shaping children’s life. When discussing about courtship is diverse from one community to another. In the adolescence age, boys and girls naturally experience emotional need for love and intimacy. Making relationship and love affairs with the opposite sex is something we all experience, this might lead to parental or even family and community rejection but for utopian community to exist, the needs of the teenagers has to be respected and emotionally guided where they seem to be messing up with community norms and principals. Monogamy and polygamy marriages are being practiced according to the culture, in my utopian community set up, monogamy and polygamy marriages has to be individual decision. For a better community where there is no oppression and denial of once needs, such marriages have to be practiced under some conditions such as family sustainability and equal opportunities to be provided with wives and I laws. The power control of the family should be divided as per the duties and roles to be played in the family. The mother should be responsible of the family property and the children as well as all the belongings whereby the husband should provide the living and the daily bread of the family, he has to cater for the moral and material support to the family, the decisions of family should be discussed and consulted by the wife, husband and the children. In my society, there are social structures which will be governed by the council of elders and their role will be to make sure the betterment of the society. They will make sure the community system is in placed such education, health care facilities and solving conflicts in the community.
Conflicts should be solved in a way it will not offend others or violate the rights of others, wedding ceremonies, religious performances, rituals, burials and other community festivals should administered by a council of elders, a society which fights against discrimination, tribalism, nepotism and all forms of anti-social behaviors can be role model to other societies and a living example for a perfect human society.
