Introduction
Notably, there is a lot of games whose developments consist of very crucial information which can be used to help the society and especially I empowering women. A good example is taking into account the role of Katniss Everdeen as a female warrior in the Hunger Games. It shows how the series, after being watched by many people, has changed how most of them view different issues and therefore give them a better understanding of different cases. The game is set out in a manner to show the strengths of women and therefore understand what they are capable of doing, thus empowering them in the process. And it can substantially meet this, which is quite significant in many ways.
However, there is always a problem with how the role of women is portrayed in hunger games. In this case, Katniss Everdeen is seen as compassionate, sturdy, and compassionate rather than as a sex symbol, which is the most common issue. It is quite rare to consider super female heroines in the games, but her role is well developed, and she proves capable of acting it out. She is viewed as quite smart and aggressive and does not need a male hero beside her in the fight. She creates a feeling that women can also be the same as men or even better. She even develops a sense that there can be great female warriors. However, at times she is forced to kill, yet she is not a killer but just a hunter. Therefore, it is quite evident that this is not the role she would have wished or played if the challenge had not to be presented to her. Her primary purpose would have been hunting, where she would just be providing for her family. In her biography, it is seen that she is an orphan; therefore, she has a role in taking care of her siblings. Thus even in the role, she plays her primary determination is to get back to providing for the family.
Regarding all the people who have watched the series, it is quite clear that her role clearly would change the opinion of most people. And this is quite evident in the way she portrays that women are capable of doing things that most men thought they could not, therefore, influencing gender roles. Most people are not well informed on what women can do as they have the same capabilities as those of men or are even better. Thus, her role as a female warrior would change the opinion of most people across the globe. The society needs to be educated so that some of their traditional beliefs can be eliminated, such as the gender roles in women. And, this case would be the same in all parts of the world as all the society needs are in information. Most people in society are affected by ignorance, and therefore if they gain knowledge, their opinion on issues will change. There is also quite a universal and global force that ensures the world changes. And, this is what Katniss Everdeen portrays hence ensuring that all people get to understand more about the roles that women can play.
However, the hunger games series is ultimately a great illustration of sequential images that are in visual sociology. And this is quite evident in how it uses different themes to illustrate specific issues in society, such as gender roles. The role of theory is well manifested as it shows that even though pictures do not translate to a lot of things, the whole plot signifies more (Becker, 2016). It ensures there is no constant repetition, and the audience can transparently get the information without any problems. It also embraces the culture of how things are done and helps find a better way of reasoning and thus understanding things better. For instance, the individuals in the community can recognize and appreciate the strength of women through viewing the series. There is also another theme in understanding the cultural forces. And this entails how women are deemed and viewed as lesser in the community (Kummer, 1993). However, this series tends to create a different opinion to people and therefore enhancing their understanding of various issues in society. The people can understand and appreciate what women have to offer hence respecting them. A lot of women are despised, and this doesn't seem right as they are also equal to men.
Conclusion
All in all, it is essential to note that the role of women in society is not appreciated. However, with globalization plays a huge role, this has changed over time. The play itself has brought a better understanding of this issue. The purpose of the female warrior has shown that women can fight like men and attain greatness. It has also demonstrated the women can protect men in different circumstances. It is quite clear that women have a significant role to play in society and therefore, should not be viewed as sex objects. Finally, if this is maintained, then there will be a perfect and satisfied society.
