Before & After

Before

Society shapes us from a very early age so that we put significant value on "looking good" from the way we groom our bodies, shape our bodies by working out and lifting weights, the makeup we paint on our faces, the changes we make to our bodies with cosmetic surgery, the clothes we wear, and the jewelry and accessories we adorn ourselves with. We are partly responding to the natural and genetic desire to show ourselves off to attract a mate in order to procreate, but society has made us in to shallow and selfish beings who put significant value on the way people look and the things that they have instead of the true value of people which is measured by their compassion and the qualities that they show by the caring of others instead of themselves.

After

In Nutopia the Essential Education system teaches people from a very early age that all people are born with a set of characteristics which they cannot change, so the true measure of a person is how they treat others not how they look. Everyone in Nutopia has access to the same clothes and accessories so there is no competition to look the best with the newest and most fashionable clothes and jewelry. There are no cosmetics for people to artificially change their appearance by painting toxic chemicals on their bodies which require more toxic chemicals to remove. There are no gyms or workout clubs dedicated to providing equipment for the sole purpose of encouraging people to artificially change their bodies just to "look good", instead exercise comes from leisure pursuits such as walking and running in nature, and entertainment such as sports, dancing, and cycling.
