I believe this is why I scored a 15 in the Think Win-Win category. In…

A dystopian society is based in the future and they tend to put an emphasis on an aspect of a present society that could lead to disastrous consequences. Some examples are political systems, technology, a gap between the rich and the poor, and the moral development of the citizens. Both Fahrenheit 451 and the Hunger games show aspects of propaganda and how that impacts the lives and thought process of the citizens.
