Functionalism In The Hunger Games
Analyzing the Hunger Games movie from the functionalist approach, I understand the movie on an deeper level than before.

    Sociology of "Hunger Games"

    The nation of Panem has risen out of the ravaged ruins of what was once known as North America. 74 years ago, the poverty-stricken districts of Panem rebelled against the wealthy, controlling the Capitol. After its crushing victory, the Capitol devised the Hunger Games as an annual reminder to the twelve districts of its authority, and as continuing punishment for the rebellion. Every year, each district must hold a raffle (known as the "reaping") to choose one boy and one girl (ranging from age 12–18) to participate in the Hunger Games, a competition in which each of the twenty-four contestants (known as "tributes") fight to the death in a televised arena until only one is left alive.…

    Hunger Games Narrative

    Since this is a unit that is focused around The Hunger Games, the reading portion of the lessons is rather obvious, as students need to read and comprehend the book to be successful. They are also asked to read various articles and interpret texts in order to respond thoughtfully and appropriately to discussion and writing topics. Since the reading aspect of language was covered, I tried to focus on the importance of incorporating the remaining three language skills – writing, speaking and listening – while creating this unit. I did this by paying special attention to ensuring that discussion and dialogue were abundant to allow students the opportunity to not only share their own ideas but also…

    Communicating is very important in my setting and is a major aspect of my work. When working with children clear communication is needed this could be verbally or using sign language, flash cards or through play. Communication helps to build positive relationships with the children and their family's. Communicating with parents/carers is vital, parents/carers know the children better than anyone and can give us valuable information regarding the child's like and dislikes, dietary requirements, special needs and cultural beliefs this will help us meet the child's needs. Parents/carers also like to know information regarding their child so sharing information regarding the child's developments or any problems that they may be having helps to build good relationships. In my setting a lot of the children have additional needs and before the children start we communicate with the parents verbal and via paper to find out as much information as possible to help the children settle in to the setting and make sure all the needs can be met. We may also need to liaise with other professionals to make sure they are fully supported in the setting. Communication with other staff members is needed to share information and help to plan to help their development and to Clear and affective communication is needed when working in a team it help to let others know what u are doing and what is expected from them, if there is a lack of communication it can build barriers, tasks may not be done effectively and children's needs may not be meet. Communication is a two way process so u must listen to others use appropriate body language, use eye contact and realize u may need to use different form of communication to meet individual needs.
