Explanation:

Warner Schaie is a developmental German psychologist who has focused on the cognitive stages of people along their lifespan.

According to him, people go through different stages of cognitive development (since childhood and until they are old) along their life span.

The Achievement stage is the second stage of his theory and it takes place in young adulthood, according to Schaie during this stage the individual's primary cognitive tasks are to achieve personal goals in the long term future (starting a family, being successful in their careers, make contributions to society) by applying the intellectual skills that they learned when they were younger (adolescents).

panem is a communist totalitarian dictatorship where all the resources and how they are allocated belongs to the capitol. the districts exist only to provide goods and services for the capital and most of the citizens live in poverty. it is a police state where the "peacekeepers" use force and threats to keep the people under control. dissent is outlawed and those who disobey the law are executed, flogged, or turned into avoxes. the games are another means in which the ruling elite in the capitol exert their power over the districts. when reading the books i drew parallels between panem and the soviet union and north korea. in no way is panem capitalist. the people in the capitol are wealthy but the majority of them are involved in the government somehow. it was the same way in the former soviet union where bigwigs in the communist party and high ranking government officials were given access to goods, services, medical treatments not available to the general public. if you think panem has a capitalist economy you need to brush up on your economics.
