A fear or disgust of the world outside the state

• The life where nothing was ever unexpected. Or
  inconvenient. Or unusual. The life without color,
  pain, or past, (Lowry 165).
• For this community they have never known real
  pain, or real suffering or real emotion and to
  even think of actually experiencing it is scary
  to them. None of them understand how people in
  Elsewhere can feel these things and understand
  them and because they dont understand it they
  fear the people from and Elsewhere itself.

Constant surveillance by state police agencies

• Everyone had known, he remembered with
  humiliation.the day last month that he had taken
  an apple home, (Lowry 23).
• In this community there is a speaker system
  everywhere that tells the community everything at
  any point. When someone does something wrong no
  matter how trivial it may seem an announcement is
  made singling out the person without ever
  actually saying the persons name. The fact they
  would know what anyone and everyone does at any
  point and time proves they have a elite
  surveillance system.

The banishment of the natural world from daily
life

• He had never seen an aircraft so close, for it
  was against the rules for Pilots to fly over the
  community, (Lowry 1).
• In our society is completely normal to see air
  crafts flying over the cities to see cars driving
  along the roads or trains along the tracks. But
  here not only are most things like that
  completely gone any existing ones are forbidden
  inside the community.

The Matrix
7
A fear or disgust of the world outside the state

• It is the world that has been pulled over your
  eyes to blind you from the truth, (Morpheus).
• Here humans dont even know of the outside world
  and the machines have no use for it but when a
  human learns of the real world they are afraid
  and disgusted by what the human race has fallen
  to.

8
Constant Surveillance by state police agencies

• Inside the Matrix they are everyone and no one,
  (Morpheus).
• As said inside the Matrix there is a program
  called the agent which has the form of a human
  but can duplicate itself any number of times.
  They can take over anyone still connected to
  the Matrix and therefore always knows whats
  going on with everyone and any given time.

9
The banishment of the natural world from daily
life

• The Matrix is a computer generated dream world
  built to keep us under control in order to change
  a human being into this, (Morpheus).
• For people in the Matrix there is no natural
  world all they know is the computer life they
  live and the natural world left behind is left
  and forgotten falling into ruin and desolate
  destruction.

10
The Hunger Games
11
A fear or disgust of the world outside the state

• This is how we remember our past, this is how we
  safeguard our future, (Hunger Games).
• For this society they know nothing outside of
  their system they have seen the outside the
  forests and the freedom but the fear of dying out
  there from hunger or animals scares them into
  staying in the society.

12
Constant surveillance by state police agencies

• Theyd catch us, cut out or tongues or worse, we
  wouldnt get five miles, (Catniss).
• Here the main character clearly states that the
  society cannot get away with anything whether it
  be escaping or stealing food because they know
  the Capitol is always watching and always knows.

13
The banishment of the natural world from daily
life

• In penance for their uprising each district
  shall offer up a male and female between the ages
  of 12 and 18 for a public Reaping, (Hunger
  Games).
• In the natural order of things people would die
  from natural causes with the occasional murder or
  accident but in this society in order to maintain
  order they take out that natural selection and
  kill off people in a game.

14
All Summer in a Day
15
A fear or disgust of the world outside the state

• And they, they had been on Venus all their
  lives, and they had been only two years old when
  last the sun came out and had long since
  forgotten the color and heat of it and the way it
  really was. But Margot remembered, (All Summer
  in a Day).
• The children of this society on Venus are
  disgusted and hate people originally from Earth
  where the sun is always shining but not for any
  good reason except that they are jealous of what
  people from earth were able to enjoy that they
  cannot.

16
Constant surveillance by state police agencies

• But this is the day, the scientists predict,
  they say, they know, the sun (All Summer in a
  Day).
• The surveillance in this story is different from
  the rest because its a constant monitoring of
  the rain to predict when the sun will come out
  but it is no less of an elite surveillance system.

17
The banishment of the natural world from daily
life

• They hated her pale snow face, her waiting
  silence, her thinness, and her possible future,
  (All Summer in a Day).
• Margot is from the natural world from Earth and
  because of that shes different, odd, set apart
  from the rest. She acts different and is in a
  sense banished from the rest of the children.

18
Let Oakland be a City of Civilty
19
Fear or disgust of the world outside the state

• Let those who are packing AK47s and Uzis move
  to another town, (Oakland).
• It is clearly seen that the city of Oakland has a
  fear of the outside world because of the violence
  happening all the time with weapons and more.

20
Constant surveillance by police agencies

• Let our hearts beat strong, let Oakland be a
  city of civility, let the good times roll,
  (Oakland).
• Its not very obvious that there is surveillance
  but in order for the perfect society they want
  theyd need to watch anything and everything at
  every point in the day.

21
The banishment of the natural world from daily
life

• Let suburbanites treat Oakland with respect
  instead of a place they invade in the morning and
  leave with the money at night, (Oakland).
• The people see the society as so perfect that
  nothing from the natural world bad or good could
  ever invade it that upon finding the city such
  would turn away because its so perfect
