Answer:When we say the word 'dystopia', most people immediately think of the Hunger Games, or one of the other ever-so-popular novels we see around us in the world today. The two consistent things we see are these: those who live well, and those who they step on.
Recently, I attended a writing convention, and the keynote speaker was an author named Dan Wells. Maybe you've heared of him, maybe you haven't, but he said one thing that put many things in perspective. "This world is a dystopia, we're just District One." He proceeded to tell us just how bad our world was, just how many people suffer day to day. According to him, one child dies every minute due to hunger. It might be true, might not be. One thing we all know is that everything we have is thanks to someone else who may never earn enough money to earn what they make. So yes, our world is a dystopia.
However.
It doesn't end there, and will never end there. In the short story, "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas" by Ursula K. Le Guin, it speaks of a wonderful paradise where everything is perfect to everybody. If your definition of perfect was a world of drugs, that's what it would be. Your definition of perfect was that world. Most of the short story consisted mainly of the author talking about how wonderful it was. Nevertheless, later on in the story, it explained that at a certain age, people were taken down to a small, dark basement. They would be shown a child who, for the sake of everybody else, lived a miserable life. They were tortured in every way: starved, abused physically, mentally, emotionally, and sexually. Then the person would be given a choice. Either live in Omelas without heed of the child, or leave right then and there. Hence the name, "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas". Despite this, Dan Wells, the very person who told us about the many people in the world who are suffering, said that there was probably another choice.
To fight the system.
He then turned to our generation, nicknamed the "Millenials". He told us that in the past, the novels labeled as dystopian told about a problem that could not be solved. In these books, the good would fail. Then, he turned to our books. In every single one of our dystopian novels today, the good guys win. They prevail over evil. Every. Single. Time. Sure, it might take a while. Sure, it was hard. But the main characters fought, and they won. That is our generation. All over the world, care programs are taking place, fundraisers for the less fortunate are held. People do extraordinary things for the sake of others. The Millenials are often displayed as the worst generation, feeling as if they are owed everything. But he told us different. He told us that we are the generation that strives for change. He told us that our predecessors saw a problem and went.
