Abstract

Welfare is a life that is expected by all humans. To achieve it, there are several factors that influence to achieve prosperity. Economy is one of the main factors affecting welfare. The economic life that has been fulfilled is one way to achieve prosperity. However, sometimes welfare is not achieved when economic life is not fulfilled. This makes humans divided into two parts. The bourgeoisie, those who have been able to fulfill the economic needs and the proletariat whose economic needs have not been fulfilled. Or both can be said as the owners of capital and the working class. This makes the two parties interdependent on one another. But in this case, the working class feels more dependent on the ruling class. This is because their lives depend on the wages given by the ruling class. This has led to the detrimental actions to the working class, including oppression. The oppression of the working class by the ruling class. This case encourages the working class to fight for the rights and justice they should receive. Also the struggle to achieve the expected the life welfare. The research results show that in the Elysium film by Neill Blokamps and the novel The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, both are represent the problems arising from the social inequality.
