Institution

Institutions are establishments or organizations that contain individuals as a mechanism to wield control and a secure environment. However, the insane asylum can restrict to an extent of an individuals experience and liberty of the world, resulting in conflict against the institution. Though many individuals apply themselves towards the institution with the spirit of compliance, other individuals may be restricted therefore behaving in a conflicting fashion towards the institution.This is show through Harper Lees To Kill a Mockingbird by concentrating the audiences attention to the social inequality in Maycomb representing the communities institution. Similarly within Suzanne Collins novel The aridness Games, the institutional government is illustrated and is explored through the situations face by the individuals contained in it. Furthermore, institutional confinements elaborate the hierarchical structure enhancing or limiting an individual within the system.As correspond in H arper Lees To Kill a Mockingbird, a nature of compliance and defiance is evident within the town of Maycomb. Evaluating on this, the protagonist genus Atticus depicts elements of defiance by resisting to the social means that are accustomed to in the community. Accounting for the institutions behaviour of containment, wad at the top of the institution have the ability of corruption. This is best demonstrated in the court scene where the racist views of the white residents of Maycomb are juxtaposed with Atticus Finchs desire to represent a black client.The injustice that is present in Maycomb, is best addressed as Atticus argufys the jury to do their duty, in the touch on of God, as they decide whether Tom Robinson is guilty, despite the fact that there is no probable cause for supposedly raping Mayella Ewell, a white woman. This empathetic challenge by Atticus acts as the voice of reason against the racist, regressive elements of southern culture in the 1930s. The institution, th e town of Maycomb has been operating in a corrupt modality by segregated black and white communities within Maycomb.This segregation is again demonstrated in the court some exchanges, as the black citizen must keep going in the stalls, whilst white folk cans sit on the same level as the judge and other court officials. In addition, Suzanne Collins The thirst Games illustrates the nature of a governmental institution and how individuals are able to adapt or resist to the establishment. Within the novel, the protagonist Katniss Everdeen is elected to compete in the annual Hunger Games a brutal competition containing individuals to signify the former defiance from the past districts.Through the protagonists portrayal of defiance, it is evident that ones institutional thought process undergoes transformation, furthermore granting ability of opinion and greatly influencing an individuals extent of restriction within the institution. This is supported through the statement of a partic ipant of the games, if I am going to die, I still want to be me. Suzanne Collin uses this to express the emotions of a character experiencing the effects the institution, depicting the individuals as a tool or equipment used for manipulation and subsequently dehumanizing the individual.Conversely, within To Kill a Mockingbird the corrupted institution relies more on the community to progressively change peoples perspective rather than utilising threats. This is shown through the underlying nature of the public on how to behave within the town of Maycomb. Throughout the scene of the confrontation of Atticus Finch outside the towns jail, the communitys men arise to form a mob creating a single identity. However, when the protagonist Atticus directs him on an individual basis towards a man, the man is shown to be contextually righteous and was only conforming to the societys standards.This proposes the argument whether an institution is built on corruption demonstrated in The Hunger G ames or is built on manipulation demonstrated in To Kill a Mockingbird. Evaluating on the manner of both characteristics of all(prenominal) institution it is evident that they share common aspects. Throughout both texts it is apparent that institutional thinking and institutional behaviours derive from the different social rankings that individuals subconsciously acquire.
