Very valid points, everyone. I believe that the media will play a huge roll in whatever our country is coming to, whether it will be like Panem or a factual communist country. We have been and are being more and more desensitized by the media. How many times do you see crimes committed in one day (whether fact or fiction) on tv? How many times each 24 hrs do you see torture &/or murder happening? That stuff used to scare the living day lights out of adults in the 50's; but, these days adults aren't as afraid like before & what's even more scary is that children view these things freely, as if they are adults, & we wonder why they are the way they are?? How many robberies, beatings, rapes & murders does one child witness before the age of 16, which is around the psychological time when they've arrived at trying to figure out what their role is life is; starting the process of self-identity. So, speaking for my own self, it doesn't frighten me to witness these things on tv anymore. What frightens me is that witnessing those things does Not frighten me. That all being said, I absolutely do believe "Panem; Hunger Games" is not far away. (Via martial law, computer technology, Drones all mixed with the human willingness to kill w/out a 2nd thought= Control of the people).
