1. Reality TV: we seem to
find it entertaining to watch others struggle and have bad times. E.G. Cops, Survivor,
Hoarders, Intervention. People watched the Hunger Games as if it were a TV
program.
2. Violence: We have
come to accept violence on TV and in movies as adding more excitement. No one thinks of
the possible consequences or the fact that someone was maimed or died. Remember, each
of these characters had to
die!
3.Competition: Winning at
all costs: People forgot their moral compass as to what is right and wrong and just
wanted to win. Someone else's death brought joy to another
group.
4. Appearance and lies:
What Katniss and Peeta looked like and even their love affair was all staged for the
audience. None of it was real, but it was to the people
watching
5. Manipulation: the
hosts were able to portray the tributes any way they wished to make them more or less
appealing. From the interviews at the beginning of the games to the games
themselves.
