Walter says that pride is "old time stuff". what would walter consider modern day thinking?

When Walter says that pride is old-fashioned, he thinks that doing only those things on joe can be proud and no other is an old-fashioned way of thinking. A modern way of thinking implies, according to Walter, that pride has nothing to do with achieving goals. You can work and use whatever you have to accomplish what you want. There is no sense of pride or harm to it. Pride is an outdated category to be rejected.

how many characteristics are used to describe living things?

explanation:

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.
