Peacekeepers In The Hunger Games

Imagine America reborn into a divided nation split into twelve districts. The novel The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins explains the story of a girl named Katniss who has to compete in the Hunger Games that the Capitol of the country hosts once a year. One male and one female from districts two through twelve are randomly selected to compete. The strategies that the Capitol use to keep the citizens from connecting with one another are the peacekeepers and the type of government they rule by. Each district has it’s own purpose. From district twelve, who mine coal, all the way to district one who create luxury items for the Capitol. They are all divided by large electrical fences and lots of land in between each of them. This strategy is used by the Capitol
They are the ones who watch what everyone is doing at any given time. Because of the peacekeepers, citizens are not allowed out of their districts whatsoever. Citizens are also not allowed to disobey any laws given by the Capitol. If they do however disobey the laws, they will either be put to do death right then and there, or they will have extreme consequences. The reason why the Capitol makes their laws so outrageous is to keep everything in order and make sure that everyone is doing their jobs. If someone isn’t doing their job, they will be punished. The Capitol needs all of the goods each district provides or else they will not be as wealthy. The peacekeepers also monitor all of the borders and land around each district to ensure that no one has escaped. So basically all of the districts are all cut off from one another and the only time citizens can leave it is if they are selected to participate in the Hunger Games. Overall, the peacekeepers can literally kill and/or harm whatever citizens they want at any given time. This may not be the best way to keep their nation in line, but it is definitely one of the most important strategies the Capitol
