.B. encoding

Explanation:

If one wants to send or convey a message to the audience, they must first encode it which means translate it to symbols that will represent ideas or concepts that they want to convey. The most common used symbol is langauge.

This means translating a message into coded message that can be understood by the listener when the decode it. A sender uses a particular medium of their choice to actual send these symbols representing their message , a medium can be an email, a text message , a phone call or face to face meeting. The sender has to ensure that there are no distractions or influences (noise) that may impact the decoding of the message

Decoding will occur when the listener tries to interpret and understand the message.

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.
