Utopia

             What Is The Difference Between Utopia Book 1 And Book 2? What Does Utopia Book 1 and Book2 reflects?
             "1515, the Utopian literature began with the first edition of the book entitled Utopia by Sir Thomas More" (504). There are two versions of the Utopia, and the context is somewhat different. Comparing book 1 and book 2 of Utopia, differences do exist.

In other words, crime statistic reflects the social condition of the society. If not because of the inequality, then what would it be?
             Moreover, while theft occurs in all countries/communities/societies, a weak legal system allows for a much higher level of criminal action in some country than in others. Countries where law is not exist and enforce, the probability ...
