There is a central government that is in control of all these people who are separated into different groups. This same government can do whatever it wants and the people have no say in what the government can and cannot do. In Divergent, the government tries to use mind control to get its army to kill innocent people. It was up to people like Tris to stop the government from carrying out the meticulous plan. Furthermore, the omnipotent powers of the two films have also been shown to be similar. The authorities shown in both films completely control everything concerning their people. They make unethical and inhumane plans that endanger the citizens of their land. The Capitol from "The Hunger Games" uses its people to fight to the death for fun, and the Divergent government uses mind control to convince their army to do whatever they are told. These government authorities, in both films, treat their people like puppets forced into submission
