In Brazil and Mexico, A. people have few economic freedoms
B. people accused of a crime have no protections
C. few people have the right to vote
D. crime and corruption are serious problems in government

There were reports that state police committed unlawful killings. In some cases police employed indiscriminate force. The Brazilian Public Security Forum reported police killed 6,160 civilians in 2018, compared with 5,225 in 2017. The extent of the problem was difficult to determine, however, because comprehensive, reliable statistics on unlawful police killings were not available.

On September 27, eight-year-old Agatha Vitoria Sales Felix was returning home to the Complexo do Alemao neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro in a van with her mother when a bullet hit the girl and killed her. Rio military police officers reported drug traffickers opened fire on officers who retaliated with gunfire, but residents denied there was a mass confrontation in the favela (informal housing development) at the time of the shooting. According to these witnesses, the girl’s death was caused when a police officer fired at a motorcyclist who had not complied with an order to stop. The Federal Prosecutor’s Office requested that the Federal Public Ministry of Rio de Janeiro instead of the police force investigate the case. According to one media report, police failed to conduct a proper investigation. The lawyer representing the family and the owner of the van said the driver cleaned his van, the scene of the crime, before police could search it for evidence. On September 25, the ministry announced it was investigating the case.

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.

i believe its either the first or third option but i'm leaning more towards the third option:

the first excerpt makes a logical appeal, while the second excerpt makes an emotional appeal.
