How Does The Malls Use Propaganda In The Hunger Games

Another propaganda you can use is stacking the deck. Stacking the deck is showing only the good

Moreover, Document C relays that, “The Counterrevolutionaries included some members of the aristocracy, priests, peasants, and townspeople.” (Document C) The leaders of the Reign of Terror had a goal to punish the emigres and label all dissenters as enemies of their peaceful rule. The diversity of the countermovement shows that not just the emigres are rebelling against their abolition of superiority, and that all groups are oppressed unjustly.Withal, Document D concludes that, “At this time, counterrevolutionary activity had been increasing for more than a year. This official is reporting that soldiers already sent by the government have failed to stop the “rabble” and he is writing for more help. To make matters even more unsettling, Prussians were invading at the same time from the north.” The large number of dissenters shows that Revolutionary rule is widely abusive, and is therefore unjust. (Document D) Similarly, Document F also reports that, “Historians estimate that 16,000 people were guillotined during the Reign of Terror.” (Document F) The penalty of death is usually reserved for the most serious crimes. It cannot be that 16,000 people of the Counterrevolution are deserving of immoral public humiliation on top of death, making the methodology of the Reign of terror false. The oppression of the just Counterrevolution shows

The Capitol has an even more devious structure to keep its citizens in line, though, the Hunger Games. Every year, each district must supply, through a lottery process, two tributes both aged 12 to 18, one male, one female, who is forced to fight to the death in a large outdoor arena until one remains. The expectation is that the Hunger Games be treated as a spectacle, a great place for entertainment that all citizens are obliged to follow as an audience. The Games explains how the Panem citizens are at the mercy of the Capitol since it keeps them depressed by making them complicit in the atrocities as an audience.The reaping system is unfair because the poor get the worst of it.Your name goes into the pool of seven then you fight to the death

And may the odds be ever in your favor!” As Trinket, Everdeen and Mellark boards the train that will take them to the Capitol, they have the company of Haymitch Abernathy who will be the tributes mentor throughout the games. As Haymitch will have the power over Everdeen and Mellark, the control lacks because Haymitch is always drunk. He promises, “He would sober up long enough for Katniss and Peeta to play the Games and help them” this helps him gain control over the two tributes. When arriving at the capitol, there are two stylist Portia (Peeta’s stylist) and Cinna (Katniss’ stylist) that will make the tributes looks unforgettable.

In the novel The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins, there is a new post-apocolyptic country created called Panem which used to be North America, that is divided into 13 districts. The main character of the novel is a girl named Katniss Everdeen from District 12 who is put to the challenge of competing against 23 other girls and boys to the death in the annual Hunger Games. The Capitol, is who rules the 13 districts. They create unfair and strict policies, which once cause the districts to rise up and rebel.

As human, we feel the need to build an ethical framework based on our needs for authority rather than tradition. The Capitol in the Hunger Games exploits human needs to keep authority in place. After rising seas and poverty consumed much of the land, the Capitol, which was least affective had the superiority over the other district. The capitol residents lived in luxury while the surrounding districts are poor and subdued. The citizens of the Capitol brutally abuse the twelve districts of Panem one of the country that was left dried out by the sea, all in flavor of giving themselves a high standard of living while intentionally keeping the twelve district in a state of abject poverty. One way the Capitol tried to strengthen their authority is by inventing the annual hunger games were in each district of Panem two children are "reaped” to fight until their death for the amusement of Capitol citizens. The citizens in Panem, because they are poor and the Capitol citizens has the authority over them they have no choice but to unwilling part take in this game. The movie and the book show how much the Capitol limits their ability to empathize with the less fortunate city. Since recently there was a research that shows the upper-class

This is ‘the Capitol’s advantage to have us divided among ourselves’ and to prevent a rebellion from arising. The games is the Capitol lucky charm to prevent the people in the districts from joining forces and rebelling, the Games is a weapon to keep the people of the districts divided and fighting among

Through the elections process, it is necessary to express your beliefs to the people. As a politician, it is necessary to explain you philosophies whether it be through a television ad, political conference, or other methods so that the voters will receive the side of the running political icon. As the society becomes informed of how the contestant wants to better the country, and by doing so they are catching the attention of millions of electorates. It is accomplished by preaching about the positive actions they will take to improve our nation to the best of their aptitude. As the debate and competition goes on for the position of state, candidates will try with all of their power to receive as many votes as probable by debating for the people. In order to do so, ads will manipulate the minds of constituency members by either talking highly about themselves or poorly about another contender. For instance, in the years 2007 and 2008, Barak Obama’s slogan was “Change,” which peeked interested in many people as for they wanted to see America transform and obtain a different kind of president that America has never had previously. His manipulative mantra lead him to win the presidential election, not only once but twice. However, the Party and O’Brien do not influence the minds of others with just words. Different scare tactics are preformed to enforce people to conform to the ways of the new government. To illustrate, the scenario where Smith will not answer a question, 2+2=?, the way he is supposed to; he answers the question with four. As he answered incorrectly, they place his head into a box full of rats, and let the varmints run on his face. This is a much different way of influencing inhabitants to adapt to the new government. All in all, there are different ways to encourage a group of members to adjust the face of the government in more punishable ways than

As a result to the failed revolution, the Capitol created “The Hunger Games”, an annual competition with teenagers fighting to the death.

The Hunger Games is set in the future of North America called Panem, that consists of the wealthy Capitol and 12 districts in varying states of poverty. The trilogy’s protagonist Katniss Everdeen, lives in District 12, where people regularly die of starvation. As punishment for a past rebellion against the Capitol, one boy and one girl from each district, are selected to compete in an annual death match called the Hunger Games. The Games are a televised event in which the participants are forced to fight to the death in a public arena. The purposes of the Hunger Games are to provide entertainment for the Capitol and to remind the districts of the Capitol's power and lack of forgiveness for the failed rebellion of the current competitors' ancestors. In this book trilogy the capitol and districts use futuristic technology and science to fight. Also, the capitol uses technology with media to confuse and influence people in the country.

‘The Hunger Games’ is about an unknown futuristic apocalyptic event leading to the formation of the nation Panem. The Capitol, a highly advanced metropolis controlled this post apocalyptic nation which is split into 13 districts and if the district opposes the Capitol, they are obliterated. As a form of control, each district must sacrifice a female and male teenage tribute to battle to death in a manmade arena. The battle is a televised fight that the citizens of the Capitol watch as their entertainment. On the 74th

In the Hunger Games, Panem, the name of the society as a whole, is controlled by an all powerful government that resides in the Capitol. Each year, the government reminds the citizens of Panem of it’s power by “reaping” one boy and one girl, between the ages of twelve and eighteen, in order to participate in the Hunger Games, where they will kill each other until there is a single “victor” remaining. Flaunting power to insignificant citizens can relate to a society ruled by a dictator today, however, Panem’s government proves their power in such a brutal way, forcing kids to murder other kids for sport, that it is unrealistic. Both societies have major government power problems that lead to major conflicts in the

In The Hunger Games, the continent of Panem was an attempted utopia, in its inception rules were placed for the intention of creating a utopia, however the country formed into the opposite of what it was intended to be, with a severe inequality amongst the nation. After the events of the Dark Days, a rebellion of 13 districts against the Capitol which was ultimately quelled, and the Treaty of Treason was established a set of rules to "ensure peace" amongst the districts , the most consequential rule being the annual Hunger Games, a fierce reminder to never have repercussions of the Dark Days. However, it is evident that the Capitol's attempt for Panem to be a utopia with peace and stability failed; there is a prominent inequality in lifestyles as the Capitol live a liberated and affluent lifestyle while the majority of

The totalitarian government of Panem is noticeably corrupted because of the drastic differences in the treatment of its citizens. The capitol certainly doesn’t oppress its wealthy citizens. The wealthy are well fed, protected, isolated from the other endeavouring districts, and have plenty of anything they might desire. An example would be on page 79 of the novel, “What must it be like, I wonder, to be living in a world where food appears at the press of a button?”, this certainly displays the Capitol's wealth and power over the districts, they hardly give anything to the useless districts (in their eyes). Moreover, the people in the capitol and district one are hardly working to gain the food, they receive most of their food from district eleven, one of the most hated. Evidentially This shows how corrupted and advantageous the capitol is. Another example of this would be when Katniss and Cinna had lunch. With simply a press of a button, Cinna releases a variety range of foods. Starting from chicken, vegetables, and fruits. Katniss “(tries) to imagine assembling this meal back home, chickens (were) too expensive” the poverty of the districts clearly is shown, the totalitarian government of Panem hardly

In a not-too-distant, some 74 years, into the future the United States of America has collapsed, weakened by drought, fire, famine, and war, to be replaced by Panem, a country divided into the Capitol and 13 districts. Each year, two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games; these children are referred to as tributes (Collins, 2008). The Games are meant to be viewed as entertainment, but every citizen knows their purpose, as brutal intimidation of the subjugated districts. The televised games are broadcasted throughout Panem as the 24 participants are forced to eradicate their competitors, literally, with all citizens required to watch. The main character
