Intro and Background

The Hunger Games presents a society that is corrupt, the Capitol feeds off of the twelve districts and forces the districts to fight. Annually the districts are forced to present one boy and one girl to fight in an arena; only one child comes out alive and is deemed “the victor.”

• The Hunger Games showcases issues such as violence and gender in society today in a constructive manner and highlights the downfalls of cultures.
• Cultures revolve around gender and power, so challenging the systems in place can cause great uncertainty.
• Using The Hunger Games as an example can help buffer the changes and help people become more comfortable with the alterations.
