We are all dividers

In the chaotic and fragmented situation of the world, the city of Chicago has established faction branches, and the factions perform their respective duties to jointly maintain peace and stability. "A long period of time will divide, and a long period of time will bring together". The selfless faction makes selfless dedication and serves the society. It is the ruling faction. The erudite faction advocates knowledge and logic, and is ambitious to revolutionize and become a new ruling faction. The protector is equivalent to military force, the friendly faction is quiet and inaction, the hermit, the honest faction, the honest act as the maintainer of the honest order, and there are many practitioners in the judiciary.

In addition to the five factions, there are people without factions, most of them are exiled, they are not integrated by each faction, and they become wanderers.

In addition, there are those who disagree. Those who disagree are the characteristics of several major factions at the same time. It is difficult to determine which faction is more inclined. Maybe it is an honest, brave, kind, selfless, and learned person. These are actually good qualities, and it is not a bad thing for a person to have them at the same time.

But in the city of Chicago, disagreements are not allowed, and broad thinking is dangerous and difficult to control.

The Divergent tries to fit into a faction, and features that are not of that faction in him need to be hidden. Once you can't fit into any one faction, society can't control you, and then you'll be found out and you're not accepted by society as a whole.

To maintain social peace by eradicating human nature and stifling nature is basically equivalent to removing the frontal lobe of the brain, so that everyone can follow the steps set by the machine.

"Fear doesn't scare you, it wakes you up", there are infinite possibilities in the divisive person, which is the unpredictable and charming place of human nature. Social peace and stability should not be built on the basis of stifling nature. Factions are too ruthless above family. This system should be changed instead of eradicating the existence of those who disagree.

"Fearless never give up and fight for every life"

There will always be new rules, so that those who disagree will no longer lose themselves and know where they belong.
