Concept Essay

     Just imagine a society where each of the blue-collared working class members has the privilege to lie around their homes, watching Jerry Springer and indulging in the fine delicacy of junk food all day.

Looming behind the immigration checkpoints were the dark clouds of smog where the plants and factories had been erected to manufacture exported goods to various other countries.  Many of the immigrants filled in the necessary jobs needed for production.  Even some of the young men were used in the plants.  This caused many deaths and accidents throughout the cities.
As time progressed, science began to play a major role in technological development.  Inventors, scientists, engineers, and arc...
