I prefer Utopian and dystopia in lieu of Heaven and Hell. This is just a personal preference since I am an outspoken atheist and feel no need to spread religious references. Feel free to keep using the words Heaven and Hell.
ReplyDeleteAmerica has made great gains, but is nowhere near an utopian society. Just for starters the USA is 31st in education.

This is still way better than the Dominican republic and Algeria which I would call a dystopia. Singapore receiving the highest scores would be an utopia, at least in terms of test scores.
