Throughout the textbook there are references of how various movies or literature use fiction to examine the political problems in a society or its government. I want to embrace the notion that our textbook takes using fiction and make it your signature assignment. Choose one of the three movies listed below and write a reaction paper as assigned to each movie.

The Hunger Games
Discuss the atomization of a society and how a government may use that atomization to control a population. What are some possible ramifications of that atomization? Use the movie “The Hunger Games” to explore atomization of a society. Further, explore how this atomization links to legitimacy and the use of force by the government shown in the movie.

Mr. Smith Goes to Washington
Consider idealism and realism in terms of what we want from our political institutions and what we actually get. Also focus on the importance of rules and how they help institutions to function. Lastly, how can human nature negatively impact the work of a governing institution?

To Kill a Mockingbird
Structural violence occurs whenever a social structure, such as a norm, rule, process, or law harms a category of individuals. However, because of the diversity in the abilities and traits of human beings, any and all structures will cause structural violence by advantaging some and disadvantaging others. Consider the legal institutions in To Kill a Mockingbird to discuss the balance between the society’s need for social and political institutions and the costs they place upon individuals.
