More's Utopia is supposed to be a book (as he writes in the subtitle) "conerning the best state of a commonwealth." Indeed there are many aspects of Utopian society that are progressive even by our standards. Yet at the same time there are elements of his ideal society that seem anything but ideal. He exhibits biases based on his own cultural, social and historical background. Also, there are some promising and even praiseworthy values that have unintended negative consequences.
Focus on one such blindspot or unintended consequences. Where do you see it in the text and how can (if at all) a defender of the values of Utopia address those concerns? Can Utopia be fixed to avoid the blindspot or negative consequence? Or perhaps the so-called blindspot or negative consequence really is such a problem if you examine it closely.
