The society has relentless regulations, and incompetent government officials. People do what the government says and the government has a "perfect" world.  No one that is apart of this "perfect world notices. You usually have someone in a bureaucratic society realize, or understand that the world they are living in is not perfect at all. So once one person realizes it other people start to and the government starts to lose control of the people. 
Some examples of a government controlled society are Blade Runner 2049, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, Divergent, and Ender's Game. All of these societies are "brainwashed" to do what the government wants them to think and do.]]> 2017-12-05 15:48:26 UTC https://padlet.com/karston/4c3d3y861bhc/wish/213350313 jwarner18 https://padlet.com/karston/4c3d3y861bhc/wish/213353230  One or more large corporations control society through products, advertising, and/or the media. In a corporate dystopia some of these big corporations can control the public by commercials and special products.  Examples include Wall-E and Robocop. Like in Wall-E, the corporation Buy-N-Large controls the inhabitants of the Axiom by using the advertisement technique ethos. They convince the inhabitants of Earth that they need to evacuate onto starliners in space. I think this is ethos because it uses authority to convince them to evacuate. This makes sense because the definition of dystopia is an imagined place where everything is bad. In this case Earth is covered in trash. And whilst the Axiom seems like a utopia the AUTO (autopilot of the ship) has different plans for that. Some big corporations in our life today are Walmart, Toyota, Apple, and CVS. To compare this to the real world imagine if Apple let out and ad for the newest iPhone: the iPhone 11. Everyone wants, everyone needs the iPhone 11. you come to school and everyone has the iPhone 11. Even though we are in an anarchy ruled country called the Republic of the United States Apple is behind the ]]> 2017-12-05 15:52:57 UTC https://padlet.com/karston/4c3d3y861bhc/wish/213353230 mohler https://padlet.com/karston/4c3d3y861bhc/wish/213353547 Society is controlled by philosophical or religious ideology. The government (usually a dictator or tyrant) enforces and controls religious and all aspects of thinking. If you show that you think differently, you will be punished, probably killed. The government discriminates and punishes you for thinking one way, or not thinking another way. To survive, your thoughts have to line up with what the government wants. If you speak out against the government's way of thinking, you will be punished. An example is Nazi Germany. The Nazis had this idea of a perfect race, the Aryans. You couldn't be Jewish, a Gypsy, a homosexual, or anything other than Hitler's poster child. You couldn't think differently or speak out, or you would be sent away to concentration camps or shot.]]> 2017-12-05 15:53:29 UTC https://padlet.com/karston/4c3d3y861bhc/wish/213353547 mohler https://padlet.com/karston/4c3d3y861bhc/wish/213353588 Technological control: society is controlled by technology, through computers, robots, or scientific means.  In lots of dystopias, (Especially technological ones, duh) they have very advanced technology. Technologies make people's lives easier, but in a dystopia it is used for control, surveillance, and oppression. The use of camera surveillance in The Hunger Games is a good example of this. In the trilogy, technology is moved to track people's every move. In class, we learned about surveillance in our society. This is one way technology is in our society, that could be seen as almost dystopian. A lot of technologies in these types of dystopias either exist now, or have a good chance of existing in the future. Another good example of technology in dystopia is The Giver; there are cameras everywhere, and it does have lots of parts of a dystopia (or even a utopia) to it, but the technological control of surveillance is an important piece in the story. ]]> 2017-12-05 15:53:32 UTC https://padlet.com/karston/4c3d3y861bhc/wish/213353588 karston https://padlet.com/karston/4c3d3y861bhc/wish/214529169 An imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded one.
