Thomas More was a Christian humanist with a conscience who criticized the evils of greedy private enterprise. His unwilling cooperation and faith as a Roman Catholic had him executed in 1535 for treason. Thomas More's Utopia; put Thomas More on the map as a humanities and made his make believe land well recognized over Plato Republic therefore it should be preserved.

It was 1516 when Thomas More completed his statecraft and society which he named Utopia. More’s fictional land is a socialistic state in which personal property is shared; war and personal prides are disdain. Everyone has a right to an education and freedom of religion.  While More believes that commonwealth, motivation, compassion, and scorn for material wealth ensures social harmony. However; More’s Utopians are not Christian, yet inspired by Christian principals of ethics and assistance. They have little use for metals, jewels, and the taste that drives men to war.

Every city was divided into four sections with a market place built in the middle for all families to bring in different goods to sell.<a href="http://jeanatacc.com/2011/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/imagesCA8XC8I1.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-3301" alt="imagesCA8XC8I1" src="http://jeanatacc.com/2011/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/imagesCA8XC8I1.jpg" width="204" height="230" /></a> The streets are designed for vehicles and to protect from the wind. Buildings are facing each other are running up and down the street. Front of the houses are separated by twenty foot roadway with a large garden behind them as long as a street.  No shortages in this community while a few things have value when compared to the English, for all their values are in short supply. Gold and silver are used in chamber pots and slave restraints, since everyone has a job in producing the basic needs to survive; therefore the workdays are only six hours long.

The family life was organized around the needs of the situation. A child who prefers to a woodworker or a ironworker would be sent to a woodworker or iron worker family. However; the families men are the most powerful members. It is said when a women gets married she will move in with mans household. Yet the male of each generation has to stay at home and follow the orders of the oldest male. Utopian women live inferior to the males of utopia, they must admit their sins to their husbands even before attending a church.

The community serves as means of public consistency and control. People are not allowed to leave the town and workplace without approval or they will be reprimanded. In order to eat you must work even if you go to another town or island. "Wherever you are, you always have to work. There's never any excuse for idleness. There are also no wine-taverns, no ale-houses, no brothels, no opportunities for seduction, no secret meeting-places. Everyone has his eye on you, so you're practically forced to get on with your job, and make some proper use of your spare time"  The constants surveillance, utopian ethics and religion emphasize that a good life spent, when not working , utopians read, play games, have conversations, and attend public lectures.
