Question

Utopian experiments failed because their participants believed the problems of society came from external factors, such as poor housing and lack of education, and minimized internal factors, such as man’s sinful nature.

True
False

Answer 1

True.

Utopian communities often assumed social ills came from bad institutions or conditions and that reorganizing society could solve them, underestimating ingrained human selfishness, rivalry, and other internal traits—factors that contributed to many experiments' collapse.
