Us Against Them In wars, in cruelty, and even in sports there is a force that allows humans to fight, to abuse, and to compete. We separate ourselves from our opponents; we dehumanize them in order to justify our actions against them. The examples of this are many, they are driven by fear, and they only hurt those involved. In Matt Ridley’s book The Rational Optimist, he shows that humans prosper when they do not separate themselves from each other. In John Steinbeck’s book, The Grapes of Wrath, he shows the cruelties people are capable of when they do separate themselves from others and District 9, a film directed by Neill Blomkamp, makes clear what can happen when people dehumanize another species.
The question everyone is asking is what Brutus does make him noble or an honorable stature. Brutus kills Julius because I believe he is persuaded by Cassius for Rome’s own good. In the play I believe Brutus’s character was very strong and his integrity. The fact that he basically could control the conspirators and over power Cassius definitely showed it. Brutus just wants to do the right thing for Rome, but I do believe when Cassius thinks killing Julius is the best thing for Rome Brutus was easily manipulated and deep down inside Brutus knows that.
This is a common theme in the texts Exam Day and V for Vendetta, both showing various elements of power play at what could be called “stages” of power play. In V for vendetta the government holds an extremely rigid control over the people of England, and this was achieved and is maintained through fear. The main character V acts upon this to dismantle the power of the government. His form of power is a lot less direct. He holds power as a man of great intelligence and a devious nature, but his plans to destroy the government’s power are not to do it himself, but to empower the people of England to do it for themselves.

The three things Big Brother’s government and our own government use are controlling people physically by watching them, controlling their emotions by redefining relationships and controlling them psychology by making them fearful. Firstly, Orwell warns us that a 1984 government and future governments with too much power, including our own, can control people physically. Big Brother rules over Oceania because of the advancement in science and technology. In Big Brother’s world telescreens are used to watch and control all physical actions of an individual. Telescreens control and regulate people’s work time, sleep time and even their exercise time; people unwilling follow this as a fact of life.
The Hunger Games as an Allegory Through young-adult literary works, authors can use them to portray how society is controlled by the choices of adult leaders and young adults also have a choice in the way they will lead in the future. Suzanne Collins uses The Hunger Games as an allegory of violence in society by using her characters to fight in an arena where the capitol finds amusement in the characters fight for life. The Capitol holds a power over its society by using fear and weapons which is what today’s society uses to hold control over a nation. The growing gap between the rich and the poor creates an endless no solution to an even distribution of wealth. The Hunger Games serves as an allegory for modern entertainment, economics, and government to criticize on society’s entertainment in violence and how it can provoke violence in society, government’s control by creating fear and weapons, and a criticism on the gap between the rich and the poor which creates a hostile relationship between first and third world countries and these ideas demonstrate that society is corrupt and young people are the only ones that can change it.
