In his article "Liberals and conservatives are embracing the film for very different reasons," Paul Bond (2012) claims that the movie Hunger Games has some political overtones that interest liberals and conservatives. Bond suggests that liberals, including environmentalists, claim that destructive human activity created change in climate which eliminated North America and led to Panem. He advocated, in the case of showing us Suzanne Collins message from an interview, she states "I hope they question how elements of the book might be relevant to their own lives. About global warming, about our mistreatment of the environment..." However for conservatives, Bond insists that the most obvious message is tyranny can be the effect of government overreach.
The Hunger Games and Divergent demonstrate an exaggerated view of the extremes, society has come to, to minimise the drastic effects and repercussions that the present has caused this future dystopian society.

For many years films have always been structured around the representation of gender roles. Up until recently, very few films have challenged the traditional stereotypes. However, with the increasing support of feminism and a heightened consciousness of the way the different genders are being labelled and stereotyped, many movies and novels now challenge traditional gender roles . ‘The Hunger Games’, a film adaptation of the novel by Suzanne Collins, is one of these movies. Released in 2012 and directed by Gary Ross, the film is the first of four movies based on the bestselling trilogy written from 2008-2010.
“The Hunger Games” echoes “Nineteen Eighty-Four” in the sense that these novels convey a sense of what a perception of the future could be like, predicting a governing body that controls all aspects of the lives of those who live under it. A difference is that the “Party” in “Nineteen Eighty-Four” has absolute control: speech,
in a place called Panem. Panem lies on what used to be North America. Panem is split up into 12 districts
With dystopia being a present theme in both George Orwell’s, 1984 and Suzanne Collins, The Hunger Games, both titles share similarities and contrasts to one another. Even though these books were written decades apart, they share similarities in the government control and the presence of poverty in the settings. But, both books contradict one another as futuristic settings are viewed differently depending on when the books are written, as well as the remembrance of past struggles in the societies. The seeds of a dystopian theme are found in 1984 and The Hunger Games, presenting similarities and differences from in both books, even though the books were written decades a part.
Have you ever been in pain, whether physically or emotionally? Well a lot of time this can be seen in The Hunger Games. The Hunger Games is about 24 people being put in an arena every year and it gets broadcasted to the whole nation of Panem. The theme of this book is suffering as entertainment.
Telling a story that is set in the future gives authors the chance to depict present day issues in a different light. They usually choose to exaggerate them so readers can see how their society might look in the future, especially if they ignore issues that can grow and become problems. In the case of The Hunger Games (HG), the author, Suzanne Collins, explores issues like the huge inequality of wealth and how the power of television can influence our lives. She does this by portraying the HG as an extreme reality game show where teenagers fight to the death. By highlighting some important connections between our worlds, the author shows us that we may be headed to a place very similar to HG universe. These connections are about how tensions are created by the inequality between rich and poor on television, how an external force like the audience drives ratings higher, and how producers do not care about the message they are sending, as long as the audience watches the show.
The government in the book Hunger Games teaches and shows a new kind of way
What are the hunger games? What do they represent? Scrape away the layers of deception and at their core the games are a brutal sacrifice of children for entertainment; a stark reminder of absolute power over the people of the districts and a grisly form of entertainment for the wealthy. However, throughout the movie they are depicted as a jovial affair; with talk shows, announcers, glorious feasts, and parades. The disparity between the actual reality of the games and how the wealthy citizens view it is repugnant. While
The Hunger Games, the movie, was adapted from the popular young adult novel by Suzanne Collins. The Hunger Games is sometimes described as another cliche love story for which the young adult genre is infamous. Despite appearances, The Hunger Games illustrates a complex and creative dystopian world with a much deeper underlying message, including topics such as, politics, history, and celebrity worship. The setting appears to be a futuristic version of America. This future America is very classist, and the tyrannical government is sure to keep the classes divided by heavily oppressing the working class. The working class is divided into twelve districts, which used to be thirteen districts until the thirteenth district was annihilated as a result of its uprising. In response to the thirteenth district’s resistance, the President created a game called “The Hunger Games” in an effort to instill obedience in the remaining twelve districts. Through the course of the movie, we learn that “The Hunger Games” are not only a mechanism to force obedience on the working class, but also to serve as entertainment for the elite society who live in the Capitol. The Games require 24 randomly selected children from the working class districts to fight to the death in an elaborately staged battle, all of which is filmed and broadcasted to the entire nation, working class and elite alike. Thesis: The Hunger Games, the movie, has a hauntingly feasible storyline and clear references to real
Most people have heard of the Hunger Games, but don’t know the true meaning. People say it’s a book (or movie) about innocent people getting slaughtered. It may look like that but there is so much more depth. When authors write books, they add their perspective and beliefs. It could be about government, religion and many more controversial topics. In the Hunger Games, the author Suzanne Collins shows what she thinks about government. She does this by relating the Hunger Games to the gladiators and Ancient Roman times. Even the names of characters relate. Hunger Games may not be a sweet and innocent book, but there is a good lesson behind all the violence.
Art is something I couldn’t live without. I was never involved in anything. I never played sports and I was never active in clubs, so when I came to the realization of being interested in art, it was so exciting. I knew I would never be good at anything like sports, opposite my brothers. Both of my brothers had played football and basketball from their days in elementary school to high school. It just wasn’t the “thing” for me. Recently, I went to Art Club just to check it out and see what it was like. Consequently, I fell in love. Now, I can’t imagine my life without art. Since joining this club, I have become more creative, made more friends, and spread my horizons. Art has showed me what type of person I am and has made me grow as an artist and person.
Coaching is a process, not a one-shot deal. Coaching sessions with employees usually take place over several weeks. The initial session is to identify the problem behaviour, elicit input from the employee, and provide specific coaching suggestions. Then, over the course of the next few weeks, you observe performance, providing immediate feedback (both positive and negative) as appropriate. Within two to three weeks, sit down with the employee again and let him or her know your perception of how things are going and ask the employee to tell you how he or she feels things are going. Ask the employee whether there is something you can do to assure his or her success. If necessary, redirect the employee toward appropriate behaviours and repeat the cycle until the behaviour meets your expectations. We find it helpful to provide the employee with a written coaching plan. This is not for the purpose of documentation, but rather to enable the employee to refer back to the specific steps that must be taken in order to be effective on the job. Coaching plans are written in a positive, upbeat manner. Start out by thanking the employee for his or her cooperation and indicating your confidence in his or her ability to successfully achieve the behavioural changes required. Next, make suggestions that include identification of the problem behaviour and appropriate alternative behaviours.
The film The Hunger Games, released in 2012 and based off the first book of a literary trilogy, has become a source of entertainment and intrigue among many Americans. Featuring a futuristic and dystopian United States, it has captured the imagination for some and kindled a intense obsession for others. While on the surface this movie might seem to simply be a story with a riveting plot line about young love, vicious combat, and survival, it is much more than that. As most films do, if one takes a closer look, The Hunger Games gives rise to multiple sociological patterns and themes. If one observes with an informed and critical eye, sociological issues that are embedded in the film are revealed. From this, one can draw cultural and
