The Hunger Games is a movie based on the book written by Suzanne Collins about the futuristic society of Panem. It is a country based off of what is today North America and is a totalitarian government controlled by what is known as the Capitol. Panem is divided up into twelve different districts and each of those districts is responsible for providing a different resource to the Capitol. These resources are what keep the government in power and give them dominance over the districts, which is also one of the main aspects of conflict theory. The Hunger Games displays how power and oppression can influence social behavior. The Capitol is able to do this with help of their large military known as the peacekeepers, which demonstrates the coercion of the Capitol to keep peace and order in Panem, much like how Conflict theorists believe our society is run. District Twelve, where the main protagonist of the series Katniss Everdeen lives, is responsible for mining. The closer districts to the capitol are responsible for various things such a luxury items and military. In the early years of Panem there was a rebellion against the capitol, which was ultimately lost and resulted in the destruction of the thirteenth district. Because of the treason of the districts, the Capitol created what is known as The Hunger Games. Each year, one boy and one girl are picked at random from each of the districts and fight to the death in a tournament. In the end, only one “tribute” survives and is
The Hunger Games is a brawl between twelve separate districts. These districts are governed by one main capitol, which has much wealth unlike the poor districts, where Katniss struggled to feed her family. They are also responsible for making The Hunger Games. The capitol randomly selects two people from each district, one boy and one girl, to compete in the games. All of the people chosen must be taken to an arena where they are forced to fight to the death.
The first book in the Hunger Games trilogy has sold over 28 million copies in the U.S alone and an astonishing 65 million copies total across all three novels. The Hunger Games is a clear example of how a corrupted government can negatively impact the world. This fictitious novel is set in Panem, a country that is separated into thirteen poor districts and the very wealthy Capitol. Every year, the Capitol forces every district to send two kids ages 12-18 to fight in what is called the Hunger Games; a brutal fight to the death. This is what the Capitol does to show the districts that they are the follows to the almighty leader as well as provide entertainment.
Human interaction, culture and the ways of living within a society can be altered in order for the rehabilitation of humanity to proceed. The Hunger Games is based on what was once North America now called Panem, a nation separated into twelve districts, each functioning individually but all connected and dictated by President Snow. The division between districts within the capitals jurisdiction causes chaos which is created by the hierarchy of power, creating an unstable city and leaving the rich to profit off the poor through oppression. Human behavior and humanity are displayed throughout The Hunger Games but it is predominantly shown between the function and the structure of the actual games, the districts, their cultures, the main character, how she is a feminist in a post-apocalyptic world. The Hunger Games is a complex study of Anthropology.
The Capitol uses manipulation to control the masses of Panem and retain their ironfist rule by taking advantage of the peoples fear. The form that fear takes that is instilled into the hearts of the people of Panem comes with the Hunger Games and the history of Panem. The Hunger Games is an event in which 2 tributes, male and female from every district are sent to an area to fight to the death, with a single victor emerging from the 24 total tributes. The Capitol manipulates the people of Panem with the Hunger Games because of how it displays its overwhelming power over the districts. The idea of the Hunger Games itself is horrific in the sense that each district is forced to send two children into a death match.
The Hunger Games is the story of a leader, President Snow, who rules from the Capitol where he oppresses the 12 districts that make up Panem. Democracy & freedom are replaced by a modern dictatorship based on surveillance, police oppression and a division of social classes. The rich and elite owning class thrives on the backs of the citizens of the Districts, who in contrast are close to starvation. This is evident in one scene where Katniss Everdeen states that it would take her days to prepare one meal that those living in the Capitol would eat. To preserve their social order, the Capitol relies on a massive police force called The Peacekeepers, who are always ready to repress any kind of uprising. They
One Person can change everything Some readers may argue that one person cannot make a difference because they are just another person. As shown in the movie The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and Harrison Bergeron there was information on a specific person and how they can make a big difference. So can one person really make a difference?
Economics is the study of scarcity within a systems of rules. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins’ can be translated into such, with hunger being scarcity and games being a system of rules. In the Hunger Games, we are introduced to a country called Panem. The country of Panem is divided into twelve different districts and the Capitol, where the government resides. Each district has their own different specializations and they have distinctive economies. The government regulates the trade and each district rely on trade from each other district and the Capitol for the goods they don 't produce. All of the districts and the Capitol is interdependent.

One of the main element in staying alive in the nation of Panem is power. The totalitarian government of Panem is whom holds all the power over the districts to keep them at the top and alive. Because the Capitol holds most of the country of Panem’s wealth, the government there is able to control the people in all of the districts across Panem. The citizens have no say over their lives or what the government will impose on them. The Hunger Games is the display of the government’s power over the citizens of Panem in order for them to revive.
