This chapter explores the narrative of the Hunger Games and how it portrays certain districts as villains, leading to an 'us versus them' mentality and a loss of empathy. The speakers discuss the concept of social psychology and the importance of being mindful and aware of our generalizations and thoughts.
The only thing more powerful than fear is hope! In this episode we discuss the world of Panem and describe how the fascist regime of President Snow and the capitol have created 74 years of generational trauma on the citizens of the districts. We break down the maladaptive responses of Katniss, Peeta, and Haymitch as well as the adjustments to subjugation made by the other citizens of Panem that results in the child soldiers of Districts 1-3. Tune in to find out more and May the Odds Be Ever In Your Favor!
