Heather’s comments from the On Tyrants & Tributes : Real World Lessons From The Hunger Games group.

For those people in the districts that were not alive 74-76 years ago, isn't the propaganda critical to ensuring that they don't act on any of their outrage or individualism? They didn't experience it directly, so the propaganda of Panem acts as the means of oppression for many years.

District 13 then twisted the actions of the Peeta and Katniss via their Propo's in order to bend the will of the people to their needs. The rebellion needed the people to help rise up. This is why it was so critical for the rebellion to be able to take over State media and disseminate their information.

Whoever controls the information controls the people. I think this is why it can be considered the Ultimate war. thoughts?

I have a bs in economics and an MBA in operations management science. 2 years ago I left my job at nike to become a homeschooling mommy. Now i homeschool my 9,7, and 2 year old children as well as my 3 year old niece. My 9 and 7 are going through the course with me and we gave already had some interesting discussions. We all love hunger games, so this is a great opportunity to make literature aid our learning.
