Divergent            Government Control

  • the government tries to control the people's minds by inserting a "tracking device" which is really an injection that puts them in a trance and makes the people do exactly what the government wants
  • This injection does not work on people that are divergent
  • this is how Triss and Four shut down the system before any more people were killed
  • this type of government literally controls how you dress, where you live, what kind of people you are around, and even take you away from your family
