Why do we love violence and drama so much? I feel like we can watch it on tv whether it's real or fake and enjoy it because it's not something that happens to us in everyday life. We don't find two people fighting or someone getting seriously injured to be something bad, infact we find it funny and entertaining, why? I think when we see it on tv even if it's reality tv we don't find it to be real, just because it's on tv and we don't think stuff like that really occurs in people's lives. This connects to the hunger games because even though its mandatory everyone still had to watch the games and found them entertaining and actually enjoyed them. It's not that they really wanted to watch people die, but kind of like they had no choice to enjoy them because it was something that kept occuring. Today we find it exciting to watch on tv because most of it we know isn't real, but we are more sympathic to serious things that happen right before our eyes.
