a very advanced civilization. They had an organized religion,they studied the stars, and they were artists. The Mayas believed in gods of the sun, rain, and other qualities found in nature. Their understanding of the stars helped them to develop several calendars. One Mayan calendar had 365 days like our calendar. The Mayas also made advances in math. They developed a way of counting which included the concept of "0." Their system of writing used individual pictures. Each picture stood for one word. were divided into social classes. Each Mayan social class was treated with a different amount of respect. The higher the social class, the
more respect the class was given. At the top were the powerful priests. At the bottom were the farmers and slaves. Slaves were considered the property of their owners. Most slaves were people who had been accused of crimes.

"social stratification refers to the way people are ranked and ordered in society. in western societies, stratification is primarily seen and understood as a result of socioeconomic status, which produces a hierarchy in which access to resources, and possession of them, increases from the lower to the upper strata"

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.
