Introduction I will be examining the movie The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, through a sociocultural lens seeing that the social relationships among the characters can connect to particular concepts discussed this term. Throughout my analysis I will discuss social relations, social inequality, privilege/oppression, and social structures in relation to the film. Considering this perspective enables me to question the idea of ‘universal’ or ‘natural’ childhood and instead explore how young people exist within social hierarchies, and how adults within the film view young people inadequately. Rather than assume the powerlessness of youth, I will explore how young people resist social perceptions and expectations through resilience and resistance.
