Everything they have or want they have to work twice as hard for and never have anything handed to them. https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776594596 2020-09-24 16:37:25 UTC https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776594596 The Ruling Class https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776598978 Seneca Crane

As Marx and Engel's concept, the Hunger Games share the same division of labour. For example, District 12 is responsible for coal mining.
2. Panem is the Aristocracy type of government, so the richest rule over everyone. The districts are forced to do certain deeds for the Capitol, as Marx and Engel' working class serves the needs of the ruling class.
3. The Capitol people (ruling class) exists independently from other districts.

The work done by the working class is overlooked by the upper class, who do not respect all that is being done for them.]]> 2020-09-24 16:39:15 UTC https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776603817 https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776613540 Another film that depicts class is Titanic. It shows this in the way they dress, and the quality of service they receive. The lower class is given worse rooms, on the lower levels of the ship, whereas the upper class has fancy rooms and expensive parties. It's also shown through the evacuation procedure, where the upper class was given priority. This shows how our society values our richest citizens over the lower class, even if the upper class, in this circumstance, didn't even work for their place.]]> 2020-09-24 16:41:08 UTC https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776613540 We can see difference between working class and ruling class in every aspect of this film. For example in the camera movement, if we see working class, there are a lot of shots, camera is shaking, but while watching episodes with ruling class, camera is steady, and moves slowly. This may show us how people live in those places (In Panem everything is slow and stable while in district 12 everyone is rushed and unstable) https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776621422 2020-09-24 16:42:44 UTC https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776621422 https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776626950 2020-09-24 16:43:52 UTC https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776626950 https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776628555 The Capitol is ruling the ideas of the ones they see are "lesser than" them.
The Capitol pushes their beliefs onto the Districts.
They give the ruling idea that "The Hunger Games will benefit us all" even though people are dying in it. It is only accepted because it is a ruling idea.]]> 2020-09-24 16:44:11 UTC https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776628555 https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776631832 The colour palette was very grey, brown and gloomy giving you the impression these people are a lower, working class. The setting of the buildings were all very gloomy and band. The capital is much more luxurious and they make the class difference very obvious to us. ]]> 2020-09-24 16:44:51 UTC https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776631832 https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776632137 In The Hunger Games, the ruling class' values are entertainment and they look for this when they sacrifice and use the working class as props for their yearly entertainment; the hunger games where they fight to their death.]]> 2020-09-24 16:44:53 UTC https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776632137 oddityincommodity https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776636512 An example of mass media featured in The Hunger Games is the video played at the reaping, sort of a propaganda clip. Telling citizens that they should be "honoured" to fight in the games. The districts don't seem to have any contact with each other, and therefore The Capitol controls their views on other districts.

While the working class does their job and follows the societal standards, the ruling class does the thinking for them. The ruling class makes these ideas seem universal, like it is for the greater good of society. This is them trying to separate the ruling class from the ideas they create, so everyone agrees with these ideas, even if they don't agree with the ruling class economically or politically. ]]> 2020-09-24 16:48:01 UTC https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776646920 https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776647320 The wardrobe choices in the Hunger Games create a very distinct difference between the classes. Right of the bat, we can see that the impoverished lower class people of district 12 wear very old and plain clothing. They rarely have color or unique designs and it can be assumed that that's all they can afford. This is the exact opposite for the higher class people. The higher class people can be seen wearing very colorful and flamboyant clothing. They also invest in their hairstyles and makeup which is a luxury the people of district 12 cant afford.]]> 2020-09-24 16:48:06 UTC https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776647320 https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776649079 2020-09-24 16:48:27 UTC https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776649079 https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776649361 Titanic connects to Karl Marx's theory of the ruling class as it depicts the two classes, the 99% and the 1%. The majority of the passengers on the ship are in second and third class which is the working class, and there are less people in first class. In the movie, Rose explains how most of the passengers in first class were born into their wealth, and they all knew each other, since there isn't really many of them.]]> 2020-09-24 16:48:30 UTC https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776649361 https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776655244 The story begins in a dystopian land divided into 12 districts and 1 capitol. We follow Katniss Everdeen, a girl from district 12 who takes her sister's place for annual televised death match. Peeta, a boy that helped Katniss in the past is also chosen. Together make their way onto the train that will take them to the capitol to prepare for the death match. One of Marx and Engel's points was that the ruling class has means of material production as well as mental production. Those ideas of those who lack mental production are subject to the ruling classes rule. The ruling class also rule as thinkers, producers of ideas, and regulate the production and distribution of the ideas.]]> 2020-09-24 16:49:42 UTC https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776655244 https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776659024 The soundtrack played when focused on the working class is very solemn and simple. It usually just has a voice singing with a few background noises. When focused on characters from the capitol, the music is busy and contains multiple sounds adding together.]]> 2020-09-24 16:50:29 UTC https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776659024 In the film the Capitol controls the narrative. They present the Hunger Games as a positive and celebratory experience and the uprising as a horrible tragic war. This is much like how Marx and Engel explained that the ruling class controls the public narrative to keep themselves in power. https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776662667 2020-09-24 16:51:11 UTC https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776662667 Justification for Corruption n01446347 https://padlet.com/evakolcze3/sreq6vx4omcsin1q/wish/776666611 The ruling class within the film developed the Hunger Games as a way to justify the unbalance districts and their mass wealth.
