Fictional Writing in the Context of Politics and Society


The contemporary political literature generally traces down the issues like democratic reforms and the problems that concern the rural poor of developing countries. The best way to explore politics is to jot down your experiences as a researcher and journalist which most of them do today. The vast literature questions the prevailing notions in the political world and society as well as demarcates the desperate hopelessness and choice.

About Issues Bothering Rural Masses

The writings also talk of the power play that goes behind policy shortfalls at the Centre while neglecting the rural masses as a substantial part of the population. The current texts draw upon issues of the rural poor leading to farmer suicides - a burning topic throughout the developing nations. Mainly, the literature talks of ways through which agriculture can make an impact to bring farmers out of their miseries. Go to the South-Central part and you have to deal with the tyranny of moneylenders and repercussions of crop failures.

Dynastic Politics

Furthermore, the sensitive political fiction genre deals with dynastic politics as well as the pressure that drives young politicians to achieve success in the power circles. There is a lot to it when stories unravel the happenings that occur behind closed doors of the Parliament. The news becomes sensational if it is resulted from a sting operation or conversations secretly recorded in tapes. The topics range from the role played by corporate houses in the appointment of union ministers to the way such politicians survive their actions during communal riots.

Piling Debts and Sufferings of a Farmer

The fictional writing on politics and society touches upon aspects like the rural life dependent upon agriculture in the changing global world. In developing world, the sufferings of an individual farmer can be of great interest to the readers as it is a constant battle against odds every day. The discussions ripe in the political societies these days are that of farmer suicides triggered by successive crop failures and the piling burden of debt. Moreover, it is about what happens to family members who await compensation in the aftermath.

Corruption in Government Institutions

On the other side are people who stand up to bringing justice to the deceased. The two different worlds collide including those who fight against such inheritance of despair and those who wish to keep their inheritance of power. The idea behind such authors picking up pen is to raise voices against corruption rooted in all areas covering government and politics. The descriptions raise questions over the legitimacy of institutions of democracy and governance.

A Comparison of Canadian and American Political Systems

People outside of the "Americas" can often get confused understanding and comparing the differences between the US and Canadian models, forms and structures of government. In the United States there are 50 states with a federal government. The subunit, that is each state, has its own governor and state legislature. The federal government of course of the USA, has at its head the President (currently President Obama) along with 2 houses of legislature. These are the US House of Representatives (with local elected members referred to as "Congressmen" or perhaps "Congress Women" and the US Senate with "Senators" elected from each and every state. There are many more Congress people per state than elected Senators over all.

Africa Youth Are Disillusioned With Politics

Far more than half the continent of Africa consists of young people under the age of thirty. They are seen everywhere: in the fields working, sitting on school benches, and on the urban streets and football pitches, but very few are actively involved in mainstream politics in Africa. Oh yes, Africa's youths have been used in politics. The youth wingers recruited by political candidates and administrations are often the muscle behind intimidation during political campaigns. They incite skirmishes with the opposition or handout t-shirts, cash, and other incentives to prospective voters. But, when the election dust settles they are left out of the political process. One could never talk about politics in Africa without talking about the manner in which African youths are kidnapped (don't confuse this with recruitment) by revolutionaries and rebels. They are carried away to become child soldiers that have carried out the most horrendous acts that adult rebels shy away fro...
