April has recently moved from a large academically focused high school to a new school in a small town. In her old school, most of her classmates were high-achievers with high aspirations for academic careers. In her new school, academics are not a big focus and, in fact, April has among the best grades in her class and feels great about her school achievement. This situation best illustrates the effect.

In sociology and psychology, the "big-fish in a little pond effect" refers to the fact that individuals compare themselves to their own peers. Therefore, when high capable individuals are among people who are equally capable and smart they feel less capable than when these same capable individuals are placed with people who are less capable and in this second situation they have a higher self-concept. In other words, it is better to be a big fish in a little pond (you'd compare yourself with other "little fish") than to be a big fish in a big pond where all the rests of your peers are "big fish".

In this example, April moved from an academically focused high school with high-achievers classmates, to a new school who is not really focused as much in academics and she is among the best in her class and feels great about this achievement. We can see that in her previous schools she was a "big fish in a big pond" and now she is a "big fish in a little pond" and her self concept has increased because of this. Therefore, this illustrates the big fish in a little pond effect.

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.
