You believe in the creation of a utopian society where work is divided based on individuals' passions and inclinations, leading to harmonious and efficient communities.
Fourierism is a political ideology named after its founder, French philosopher Charles Fourier. Born in the late 18th century, Fourier was a utopian socialist who proposed a unique form of societal organization that he believed would address the social inequalities and economic inefficiencies of his time. His ideas were most influential during the first half of the 19th century, particularly in the United States and Europe.
Fourier's ideology was centered around the concept of a "phalanx," a self-sustaining community of about 1,600 people living and working together on…

If your school subjects were all based on your interests, how might your enthusiasm for learning change?
If all of my classes were changed to match my interests then my enthusiasm for learning would increase because I would the classes more interesting.
@9L3BGS82mos2MO
If I got to learn things that benefited my future career, I think I would find myself far more interested.
@9L36M6S2mos2MO
I would actively seek out further education and learning opportunities, as I would feel that my education was being done for me and not for an institution that doesn't care if I pass, fail, live, or die.
@Meepmeep777 2mos2MO
Learning requires conflict, struggling, training our mind and body to unfamiliar knowledge and situations to enrich ones knowledge, even in fields one prefers to work in, challenges arise, and from dealing, and from those challenges one has the possibility to grow.
@9L36Y9C2mos2MO
I would be much more open to working on assignments at home and put more effort into them.

Fourier's premise was that people could live harmoniously in a state of nature, free of government intervention.

What would motivate you to work hard in a job where salary isn't the biggest reward?
@9L4PJ2M2mos2MO
Incentives or seeing my work change peoples lives.
@9L4PK9X2mos2MO
A good life would motivate me as well as good knowledge
@ISIDEWITH2mos2MO
How do you think everyday life would be different if everyone truly enjoyed their 'work'?
We would see an impressive increase in work activity.
@9KZLGV92mos2MO
everyone would always be happy instead of annoyed and aggravated all the time
@9KZL6CFLibertarian2mos2MO
If everyone fully realized their potential that would be great but you have to imagine a world where everyone’s true potential is being a farmer, and now their isn’t enough welders or doctors around. Supply and demand waits for nothing but I like the idea of everyone having that “dream job”.
@9KZLL9K2mos2MO
Mental health issues would dramatically decrease due to more job satisfaction. Individuals would also feel strong motivation to thrive in the workplace and improve company morale.

Would a society be more productive if everyone did only what they loved?
@9H4B3MJWorking Family 6mos6MO
Yes- if and only if they are able to full fill that role.
@9H49XN86mos6MO
No, as some jobs that nobody enjoys need to be done (litter picking for example)
@9H4HN856mos6MO
No, that's just doing your hobby. There are tasks that must be done to keep society running. Are most corporate jobs necessary? No, but there are still needed jobs in the economy.
@9H4HSX96mos6MO
I think every type of employment should be helped by the government to make it as close to a livable wage as possible.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
If everyone pursued jobs aligned with their passions, how do you think that would impact society's productivity?
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
How does the idea of balanced wealth distribution challenge or support your personal values?
@9HXY9CMIndependent4mos4MO
people should be rewarded for how hard they work and how they use their talents.
@9HXY3ZS4mos4MO
It aligns with my personal values BUT these communities would have to be opt-in. These communities seem highly unrealistic in America unless something big like a revolution causes the fall of our current government and economic system. Or this can work on a small scale in small communities as an opt-in situation. I also worry uptopia-type projects can end up becoming cults if the leadership gets corrupt.
@9HXY2PXRepublican4mos4MO
No, everyone is given an equal chance to have a successful life in the united states and they have to work for it. It shouldn't be given.
@ISIDEWITH4mos4MO
If success wasn't tied to money, what would your dream career look like and why?
@9HWJ72K4mos4MO
I would be an anthropologist and filmmaker and travel around the world documenting various cultures and creating documentaries based on the human condition
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
How would you feel about sharing wealth equally, regardless of the job's perceived value in society?
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Imagine a school system where you only learn subjects you're excited about; what would your curriculum look like?
@9HNZWF85mos5MO
We should teach all around subjects for the first couple years of school and get your basic education freshman and sophomore year of high school, then the second two years of high school should be your regular education but surrounded more on what you want to do post-graduation.
@9HNZP9K5mos5MO
I don't know how well that would work, but in theory it sounds wonderful.
@ISIDEWITH5mos5MO
Is there a hobby you love that you could imagine transforming into a way of contributing to society?
@9HJZQ2R5mos5MO
I have a hobby of making art so i could possibly make are that people can relate to in a way or maybe even change their view on something.
@9HJZL295mos5MO
I love industrial design and architecture, and generally, the adaptive perspective that creativity and critical analysis creates should be treated as a gift for everyone, as it has helped me to change and interpret outside ideas.
@ISIDEWITH6mos6MO
How might the concept of 'attractive labor' change our current educational and career counseling systems?
