sep 14, 2008 - Suzanne Collins' The Hunger
Games is published
With the growing popularity of reality television,
Collins noticed U.S. citizens becoming
increasingly voyeuristic. Nevertheless, this
attitude permeated all aspects of life, causing
desensitization to real tragedy, such as war.
With The Hunger Games, Collins challenged the
ethics of reality television as well as society's
morals. The Hunger Games forced society to
confront their normalization of suffering as a
sort of call to action for change.
