The Faction System In Divergent By Veronica Roth
In the novel Divergent by Veronica Roth society is structured into factions. The faction system does not give individuals the freedom of having their own ideas outside of the factions. Some of the individuals have no idea which faction they wish to be a part of and having to decide what the rest of their life will consist of at the age of sixteen is appalling. Once finished choosing their faction they must pass initiation and seeing family members from other factions is limited due to their maxim, “faction before blood.” (Pg. 76)

    Analytical Analysis Of The Federalist Paper 'No. 10'

    In the first Federalist paper, No. 10 written by James Madison, is an informative piece of writing warning us against the dangers of having such a strong, powerful government and what ways that we can break away from the “Violent Factions”. (Paragraph 1, Line 3.) As Madison goes on, he goes into great detail on the two ways of defeating the creation of factions. One would be to get rid of liberty and freedom all together, which is impossible to complete. The second way to get ride of the factions would be “by giving to every citizen the same opinions, the same passions, and the same interests.” (Paragraph 4, line 2.) Both of those methods are equally unwise as it is impossible to complete. As it is hardwired into…

    How Did James Madison Cause Factions In A Political Party?

    According to Madison, factions were caused by a few things. The first was the unequal distribution of property/wealth. Something else that caused factions was the fact that small groups were only for local issues/passions. Too many factions in a political party were dangerous, as each group believed a variety of different things. With many factions holding various opinions, this meant that no political party would have definite control of the government. This meant that the larger the faction, the more it could use its larger values and beliefs on others; merely because there are more people in a larger faction. Madison was against a majority rule. This is why Madison came to the conclusion that…

    Tris In Veronica Roth's Divergent

    In Veronica Roth’s Divergent, Tris has to make the most important decision of her life by choosing a new faction. Tris was born into a selfless faction, but she has a difficult time playing by their rules. On the other hand, she fits right into her new faction, and she enjoys the freedom that her old faction was not able to provide. Therefore, even though Tris hesitates about being in Dauntless, her lack of Abnegation qualities proves otherwise. This can be seen by looking at her lack of selflessness and her abundance of bravery.…

    James Madison's Argument In Favor Of The Constitution

    James Madison begins his famous Federalist 10 paper by stating that a strong argument in favor of the Constitution is the fact that it creates a government in control of the chaos, violence, and destruction caused by the factions in society. James Madison defines a faction as group of people who collectively work together to protect and promote their own economic interests and political opinions. In my opinion, these factions are inevitable, and this because of human nature and attraction theory. When people hold certain ideologies, possess specific amounts of wealth, and possess different amounts of property, they will most likely associate themselves with people who are most similar to them. Factions in society are completely opposite and…

    fed and anti fed

    According to Madison factions create “instability, injustice, confusion and violence.” By factions federalist No. 10 clearly states “a number of citizens, whether they amount to a majority or a minority of the whole. The two main groups that Madison refers to are the minority and majority groups. The first consisting of “considerate and virtuous citizens.” In other words the wealthy and well educated privileged persons. The latter being “an interested and overbearing majority ”consisting mostly of day-to-day laborers poor in education and rich in numbers. Factions are formed because people are either united or separated by common interest regarding their own and the rights of other citizens. Factions are formed over issues like private faith, personal liberty… Madison admits that the first object of government is to protect the diversity in the faculties of men, which enable him to acquire property. This is the main issue responsible of forming factions, the acquisition of property. However men have “unequal faculties of acquiring property.” Madison further explains the existence of factions: “as long as man finds a connection between his reason and self love his opinions and his actions will have an equal influence on each other.” This is why both minority and majority factions are dangerous. Both groups separately pursue and act in favor of their own interest thus creating “unsteadiness and injustice” with in the public administrations.…

    Culrutal Variables in Communication

    Individualism (IDV) vs. collectivism: "The degree to which individuals are integrated into groups". In individualistic societies, the stress is put on personal achievements and individual rights. People are expected to stand up for themselves and their immediate family, and to choose their own affiliations. In contrast, in collectivist societies, individuals act predominantly as members of a lifelong and cohesive group or organization (note: "The word collectivism in this sense has no political meaning: it refers to the group, not to the state"). People have large extended families, which are used as a protection in exchange for unquestioning loyalty.…
