Hunger Games

Governmental Control and Oppression

Examples of government Control and Oppression are mentioned below:

“The reaping is a….. marked off by ages” (Collins, Pp.19).

“Then came the Dark Days….. Hunger Games” (Collins, Pp.21).

“Taking the kids from….. in District Thirteen” (Collins, Pp.22).

It is not essentially rational for using violent means or violence as the only way of control, within a condition where an undersized group of people has to have power over an outsized group of people. The undersized group of people, within such a condition might not possess the resources for sufficiently managing the outsized group of people and might use positive enticements as one way and apply force as another way. An additional method for considering this conception is that a group of people that is partially unhappy is, when compared against a totally unhappy one, much easier to control. 'The Hunger Games' is partially used by the Capitol for entertaining the society's members (in Panem) that are more blood thirsty, even though also as a caution to the different districts of lengths the capitol is eager to go to for keeping the society's members under control. It is both an adverse enticement and an affirmative one. Thus, the Hunger Games' effect is double as on the one hand it demonstrates that not just is the capitol eager for using torture and violence for keeping various districts under control, the capitol is even eager of directing this aggression towards children and young people and on the other hand, it offers entertainment for the fraction of population which enjoys violence.
