The document discusses social class divides portrayed in Marxism, The Hunger Games, and Titanic. Marxism focuses on inequality between social classes that can only be resolved through violence. The Hunger Games and Metropolis both depict a wealthy Capitol class living luxuriously while lower classes live in poverty and starvation. Titanic shows separate areas of the ship for different classes, with third class passengers restricted and treated unfairly compared to first class. Gender and social class dictated hierarchy of survival on the sinking Titanic.

1. Marxism
Marxismis the political and economic theories of Karl Marx and Friend rich Engels,and then later developed
by their followers to form the basic of communism.
Marxismfocuses on the differences between the rich,workingclass,middleclassand the poor and states that
the only way that they can become equal is through violence. It mainly focuses in the workers struggle.
The Hunger games
In the filmof "Hunger games" we are presented with the various districts.Wesee that the districts arelivingin
poor and run down conditions thatare left to starveas all the food is given to the Capitol and were treated as
if they were slaves.we immediately see a social dividebetween wealthy and the poor as the poor arenot
eating good food as Katniss (the main character in the film) points out whereas, the upper class areeating
better food. In an ideal matrix world everyone would be equal and work equally earningwhatthey need and
profits areshared by everyone. We arealso introduced at the firstpartof the filmwhere the women was
throwing bread to the pigs rather than givingitto the needy boy. This proves that the upper classdidn’tcare
about the poor as itshows that they were capitalistand take food for granted. This shows the audiencehow
vulnerablethe poor were amongst society.
Relatingback to post- modernism, intertextuality references has been made as in the film Metropolis we see
that is has been set in a modern city likewisewith the Hunger games. In the Metropolis we see lower class
strugglingand slavingaway for the upper class and beingtreated horribly dueto their class.similarly in the
hunger games we mainly see a lower class society mostly livingin poverty and can easily starveto death due to
lack of nutrients. This shows the similarities in classes and howit can impactlives due to being rich or poor.
Titanic

2. In the movie "Titanic"we see a social dividebetween the upper, middleclass and lower class.In the movie we
see that the upper class can travel around theship given the nest facilities and bestplaces to stay, the middle
class havefewer privileges than the upper class asthey ableto enjoy some of the facilities given However, the
lower classpassengers were forced to stay at the bottom of the ship and were not allowed no contact with any
other classes.Weimmediately see a classdivideas the lower classis beingtreated unfairly and shows the
audiencethat alienation was taken placecompared to the upper class.In the movie Rose has the most class
within the movie we know this becausein the scene we see jack introducingRoseto his lower class bottom
ship as itshows that they are all down to earth, not caringaboutwhat anyone thinks of them as they are
dancingfreely and enjoyingtheir time whereas, Rose's classwesee jack beingintroduced to her ship as they
all behavein a politeManor and careof their surroundings,we see the placeof a high standard classand all
dressed well and eating well. We also seeJack eating a piece of bread whereas everyone of a higher class
around him are drinkingwineand eating well. This shows that different classes actin differentway as the
lower classdoesn’ttake anythingfor granted not the same as the upper class.
In the Film"Titanic"we see a big divideon the gender and classes of peopleas society had often put the higher
class women in the top of everything givingthem the most respect and putting them firstbefore anything. In
1912,the social classwas treated fairly leavingthe lower classlast.This is proven in the scene where the
titanic ship was aboutto sink,the higher classwomen where the ones who were saved firstand survived the
titanic accidentleavingthe lower classlastand by the time they were going to get rescued the ship would
already havesunk. This shows that if you was of the lower classcategory you would ways be lastin everything
causingthem the death duringthe titanic.
