Whilst working with the idea of using stereotypically nice sounds and videos to encourage happiness i have been wondering whether the concept of happiness should be considered further.
Perhaps The Neighbourhood could almost be a rehabilitation centre for people who have had difficulty obtaining happiness in their lives so far... It could be a place away from the stress and pressures of 'real' life outside of The Neighbourhood.
The Neighbourhood would aim to encourage happiness within the citizens with various tasks and processes such as pleasant footage, audio and tablets designed to maintain constant ecstasy.
The Neighbourhood Watch System could monitor the citizens to ensure such tasks were undertaken routinely, the system would also prevent citizens from leaving the community and protect them from the 'dangers' of the outside world.
Manufacturing artificial joy in a controlled environment.
