Spying and espionage could be looked at in greater depth in my project. In the film Fahrenheit 451 citizens are encouraged to inform the fireman government about anyone they think is holding and reading any books and literature. A photo or name is anonymously posted into a small postbox looking thing next to the fire-station. The subject of spying and espionage was also raised in this week's peer learning session, looking into spying in the American Cold War.
This concept could perhaps be adapted for The Neighbourhood. Espionage is encouraged for inform the authorities of citizens who are not as 'happy' as they should be or citizens who have been seen not participating in compulsory tasks. This would give The Neighbourhood an even more of a dystopian quality, the fact that you cannot trust anyone and that all the citizens obey and follow the authorities intensions.
