my research project yay!!!!!!!!!

Hunger games research project!!!!!!

My topic is oppressive governments, I choose this topic because in the book The Hunger Games they have a government called the capitol and it is a oppressive government to them. There are 12 districts surrounding the capitol I can only tell about one though. There were 13 until the districts revolted against the capitol and the 13^th district was destroyed. So now every year they have the hunger games which is when they take a boy and girl tribute from each district and put them all in a arena together and they fight to the death until one tribute is left then they are crowned the winner and go home a hero and live in luxury until their death of natural causes.

OPPRESSIVE GOVERNMENTS!

In order to show how the capitol was oppressive I researched various oppressive governments and how they can affect the people who live there. My results were that living under an oppressive government is very hard to express yourself and you cant make your own choices.

The small ways people protest oppressive governments!

While searching my topic I found a lot of things I didn't know before like in Thailand they did a campaign called panties for peace. What they did was mail out panties and occasionally male underwear to embassys around Thailand to promote awareness about military violations especially against women including rape and sexual violence. The inspiration was that ruling generals were superstitious and thought that touching woman's undergarments would reduce their powers! I thought that was a great idea!!!!(small ways) I also found out that some people believe that our government is oppressive and that we need to revolt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(rebecca)

The truth are they good or bad?

Honestly it depends on your opinion about it, so basically its whatever you believe!(ME!!!!!)
