tential. Thus, Plato's Republic introduces a brilliant idea: each citizen would receive the best education suited for him or her. For the reason that each individual will enjoy their specialized education, they would gain mental discipline and stability through opportunities presented to them, and better knowledge of who they are as an individual. As Plato demonstrates through the Republic, "When each of these classes performs its own role appropriately and does not try to take over the function of any other class... the entire city as a whole will operate smoothly, exhibiting the harmony that is genuine justice. (Republic 433e)."
             The goal of a utopia lies primarily within the education system. Without proper education, a person may live his/her life unable to use the talents and qualities each attains. Plato notes, "...each of us is naturally not quite like anyone else, but rather differs in his nature; different men are apt for the accomplishment of different jobs (Republic, 370b)" . According to Plato's Republic, each citizen gains an education that is best suited for them, and therefore each person will be able to excel in their aspired academic goals. Therefore, they would no longer be obligated to accomplish any education they did not feel fit. Whereas in a democratic governed society, the citizens would be required to excel in a required academic program that is not necessarily suited to them, and they may not excel as far as they could have, hence they studied something that was suitable to their own personal qualities.
             The education system not only provides a more comfortable learning environment, but also will help the children of society to reach their utmost potential therefore making the possibility for more opportunities open. Each opportunity that an individual undergoes improves his or her own natural self. This understanding leads to an idealistic and happy lifestyle.
