Failed Utopia What is the true meaning of “perfection”? Kermit the Frog makes a strong argument that a perfect society is impossible to create through the song “Rainbow Connection” and Rod McNair makes a compelling argument that utopia is impossible to achieve through the story “What Has Utopia Failed?” In the song “Rainbow Connection” by Kermit the Frog, he makes a strong argument that a perfect society is impossible to create. To start with, these lines demonstrate how Kermit the Frog made a strong argument that a perfect world is impossible. “Rainbows are visions, But only illusions” (line 3 and 4). Both of the lines show a strong argument to why a perfect world is impossible. A perfect world is only a vision someone has in their mind but, a perfect world is like a magic trick, it is all an illusion. Next, these two lines also show how the author depicted that utopia is impossible to achieve. “And someone believed it, And look what it's done so far” (line 16 and 17). These lines show a strong argument because many have believed in a perfect society and tried to accomplish their vision of a perfect world but all have failed and what those people did was create so much chaos in the world. The composer is trying to tell everyone is that creating a perfect society will only make the world worse. In the story “What Has Utopia Failed?” by Rod McNair, he makes a compelling argument that utopia is impossible to achieve. This quote shows the strengths of the argument that perfection is impossible. “But did you realize, utopia literally means "no place"? The Greek ou means "no" and topos means "place” (paragraph 5). This quote shows that utopia is not a real place. Utopia is just an imagined state of mind. The Geeks even proved that utopia is no place. Next, these two lines also show how the author made a strong argument to why a perfect world is impossible. “Neither did the 20th century bring Utopia. Thirteen million died while fighting. And World War II was even more devastating” (paragraph 9). This shows that Rod McNair made a compelling argument to why perfection is impossible because when we tried to create a utopia, all that did was create wars and death. In a utopia, there are no wars or no arguments and that is impossible to have no conflict in the world. Both the song “Rainbow Connection” by Kermit the Frog and the text “What Has Utopia Failed?” by Rod McNair both make a strong and compelling argument that a perfect society is impossible. A perfect world is impossible to achieve, it is like breathing in space without a spacesuit.
