2058 - Explained

Below is a piece of creative writing that I did for my Political Communication Assignment.

The assignment brief was based on how society and individuals relate to each other and in turn relate to Political communication. The essay was supposed to hint to what the future could be for political communication and I thought the best way for me was to write a a piece of creative writing that conceptualises the theory behind it.

In preparation for this I read a lot of Japanese theory of society and individualism. I based a lot of the theory on Takeo Doi's Book The Anatomy of Self and I also read most of Norbert Elias's book, Society of Individuals. To help with the creative writing side, I managed to read Aldus Huxley's Brave New World and George Orwell - 1984.

These are all really awesome books that helped me write this piece. And if you are wondering, I got the grade back was graded a 2:1 which isn't bad for something that was supposed to be an academic essay.



This Piece of creative writing is written as a memoir post, written in 2058 about 2054 by me, an 80 something politician from The Old Times (today). The basics of the story follows the demise of British society leading to the fall of the British Government because of one woman's (Nancy Cameron) fight to avenge her Father's inability to get into office due to on-line anti campaigning and spiteful politics. Britain as we know it is in a mess - Scotland has split from what is now the New UK, and the NUK is at war with Norway over remaining oil reserves. It is the fault of Nancy, the PM, and the society of individuals want change - leading to the up-rise of the Disgruntled Rebels! A letter from this group is intercepted by the Government and is sent to me.
