Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

The Utopian views of technology, according to Street 1992, describe society to be in good condition in terms of politics, laws, customs, ways of life. Hence, the system is designed to improve the community for the better.

In contrast, Dystopian is described as a society that is heavily controlled by some greedy, larger than life, apocalypse group of people or government, where the rights and freedoms of people are trampled upon, thereby leading to all sorts of negativity such as suffering, poverty, intimidation, violence, disease, and break down.

The view that is more applicable to my society is the Utopia due to the following reason:

1. The people in my society accept the laid down rules and ideals. We also favor individuality and innovation.

2. My society is quite dynamic and improves over time to establish an ideal utopian world.

3. My society ensures some leaders carry the other individuals in the society along in whatever they do.
