I'm sure it helps the reader identify with your characters and their times. This was a great topic for posting and I've really enjoyed reading everyone's take on this topic which really affects us all.

Often, in romance anyway, it's more about their own personal issues, which may have nothing to do with social ones at all.<br /><br />Of course, science fiction, and even fantasy, are different beasts. Often, social issues do drive the story line in them.<br /><br />Excellent post!<br /><br />MarciMarci Baunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01850775917897362922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6233003946884986046.post-68027506989235671982015-09-20T16:41:51.038-04:002015-09-20T16:41:51.038-04:00Rhobin,

If they weren't, the stories wouldn't need to change, the characters wouldn't do anything dynamic, and it wouldn't be that exciting, would it? :)Rachael Kosinskihttp://rachaelkosinski.weebly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6233003946884986046.post-78348257745593166082015-09-19T19:17:07.087-04:002015-09-19T19:17:07.087-04:00I watched a program where they showed engineers wo...I watched a program where they showed engineers working on ideas to float New Orleans.

The idea of writing a story set in the future when some of today's issues have already come to fruition gives us a way to skip the constant bickering and come face to face with the results of inaction. The example of Global Warming - whether it is part of an ever revolving evolution of the earth or spurred on by man's hand - we might have a book set in NY State in a time when the city that once occupied Manhattan no longer exists, or the islands of the South Pacific are so far underwater the refugees have already settled elsewhere bringing their culture with them. Thanks for this post and the topic.Skyewriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08938351117986167519noreply@blogger.com
