¬¬Thesis Statement

We see the signs of societal fears all around us, surveillance cameras; airport checks; barred store windows. Everyday we hear and see reports of the newest dangers that stir our sense of imminent doom. We believe that we are becoming increasingly exposed to all types of dangers and that these dangers are becoming more frequent and severe. In truth, we are the healthiest, wealthiest, and longest-lived people in history. Within a futuristic scenario, I wish to investigate the fundamental ideas and issues behind the powerful emotion of fear.

¬¬Plot

The year is 2048; the world has become a planet of poverty and violence. Constant riots caused by social and economic problems have caused a divide between humanity. Constant wars and disease has drained the people’s hope of a normal life. World leaders and governments have tried to take back control of their cities, but in doing so they have achieved an oppressive society within their realms. The government within its own walls have kept hold of people who they see as having something to give to the Sanctuary and removed undesirables from their society. People are put through a Citizen Screening Process to see if they have the appropriate requirements.
