In the U.S. is true even still today, some people choose not to better themselves, because they know eventually someone will come along and help them. Through More's eyes the, "lack of individual private property has the potential to eliminate respect for authority."

The United States is currently in line with More's ideas and opinions in Utopia. More does not agree with Hythloday because he believes, "a country with communal property will have no prosperity." essentially meaning that the people would in a way become stagnant, being content with their situations. This has caused people to, "have no incentive to work, since they will be fed by the labor of others."

I agree with your statement that people in the US do not choose to better themselves, because indeed the government and also others as you stated will come along and provide for them. Hopefully, that will change because it is unfair to those who actually work hard. The US and Utopia do have the same idea when it comes to this.
