Listen "Hungering for Morality: When Right and Wrong Are Just a Matter of PR"
Episode Synopsis
This source critiques the interpretation of The Hunger Games as a narrative of moral decline. Instead, it argues the series portrays the manipulation of morality by the Capitol, transforming ethical instincts into tools of control and entertainment. The author suggests morality is not disappearing but being redefined through propaganda and fear, creating a distorted societal norm. Katniss Everdeen is presented not as a restorer of morality but as a rebel disrupting this constructed ethical narrative. Ultimately, the piece concludes that the horror of Panem lies not in the absence of morality but in its perversion and weaponisation.https://philosophics.blog/2025/04/21/hungering-for-morality-when-right-and-wrong-are-just-a-matter-of-pr/
