This project hopes to display an 'exhibit' of sorts detailing the societies of Boston of 1887, Bellamy's future Boston (year 2000), and America today.
The exhibit will focus on portraying the essential aspects of these societies, the aspects which help to define that society and how it operates.
A special consideration is given to observing the Individual in these societies and how the individual is either promoted or repressed by the values of their society.
The subject of capitalism is focused on as well, particularly it's negative aspects and how they apply to the individual
It may be helpful to consider it as walking through an exhibit, letting the annotations set the context and provide the basis for the connections, while at the same time trying to make connections of your own.
