Banished

Is it ok for society to exclude people from communities? Well, in The Scarlet Letter Hester is looked down upon by the Boston Community for her adulterous actions. She is frowned upon because she broke the laws that society created. In reality who is to say what is right or wrong, in a perfect world people would be doing the same actions, but there would not be laws holding you back. Therefore people would not be excluded from their communities, from stupid laws. I am going to base my essay of the quote when Dimmesdale is speaking about pearl and how she can do what ever she wants, "save the freedom of a broken law." This means that she is free to do whatever she wants because she has already broken the law. I am going to connect the events in The Scarlet Letter to the community of Telluride. For example if you duck a rope in the ski area you are banished for two years. In a utopia community, people would be responsible for there own actions, and pay the consequence for their own actions. Another example would be for possession of drugs, if they get caught they get thrown in jail, when really people should make their own decisions instead of society making them up. Overall people should be smart for their own actions, and society should not be telling people what they can and cannot do.
