our own.”

-Tobias Eaton-

Societal Control

Tris drinking a serum that will determine which faction she

should choose Four being injected by the “truth serum” which

causes extreme pain when the

injected person is dishonest or trying

to withhold the truth.

The Dauntless faction under control of Erudite leader Jeannine Matthews after being injected with a serum

they were told was a tracking device.

“The system removes the

threat of anyone

exercising their

independent will.”

-Jeannine Matthews-

set path.• Set apart from the standard

“Every faction conditions its members to think and act a certain

way. And most people do it. For most people, it's not hard to learn,

to find a pattern of thought that works and stay that way. But our minds move in a dozen different

directions. We can't be confined to one way of thinking, and that

terrifies our leaders. It means we can't be controlled. And it means

that no matter what they do, we will always cause trouble for them.”

- Natalie Prior-Mother of Tris Prior

Corporate Control

When you control opinion, as corporate America controls opinion in the United States by owning the media, you

can make the masses believe almost anything you want,

and guide them as you please.

-Gore Vidal-American Writer

“We are all that's left of humanity. The vast wall that

encloses this city may protect us from our toxic

surroundings, but it is up to us to confront any element

that can poison us from within.”

-Jeannine Matthews-

Jeannine Matthews, the leader of the Erudite faction controls the thoughts and actions of the society in the movie Divergent much like the media controls our own. If one does not look for other truths, then they do not know

that other truth’s exist. Those in control work to divide societies in order to maintain

their power and influence.

What Can We Do?

We are not the same. But

we are, somehow,

one.”

-Tris Prior-

Turn OFF the news

And RESEARCH

Stand up for what you believe

Make friends, not enemies

“We believe in braveryWe believe in taking action

We believe in freedom from fear And in acquiring the skills to force

the bad out of our worldSo that the good can prosper and

thrive.”

-Dauntless Manifesto-
