A_Non_A_Moose: Since I am looking forward to the next two in this trilogy,....and it wouldn't have been much of a movie if they HAD fit one of the factions,....uh,...I choose "no faction" (PS to the producers,...I am available as an extra!)
No-faction = Factionless So you will be made cookies Moose.
hoolet: I think I'll join the CanDo faction...........I'm quite good at doing things!!!! Oh no.............it was candor...........To be quite honest...I'm good at that too
CanDo faction that is a necessary faction Hoolet!.
You have to choose one though and the choice is final.
jono7: hiya lifeisadream
7. creative/artistic, skirting the edges of several 'types' without commitment to any
We have to make it 8 because 7 is the Fiestafaction (Molly’s).
And yes, how can humanity thrive without Art that later becomes its history.
lifeisadream: The question comes from a Sci fiction movie called Divergent that takes place in the futuristic Chicago society and divide the society into 5 factions.
1. The Erudite faction is for the smartest and most logical-thinking people.
2. The Amity faction is meant for the kind and peaceful.
3. The Candor faction values honesty.
4. The most fearless go to the Dauntless faction. They are brave and the protectors of the nation.
5. The Factionless, groups the homeless, the ones that do not fit in any of the above (according to the movie)
There is a central “government” that controls the population and they do give the people some substances to handle them more easily but some have a stronger will/mind and keep their conscience and oppose the domination. Also something interesting in the film is the way to face fear.
Q. Would you identify yourself mostly with any of the factions?
Are there any other factions that should be included? (besides a mix of the factions, Earthian/Human…we all are.....)
Thanks in advance!
How could anyone be truly smart, logical, peaceful, honest, or fearless if substances are being administered to subdue the self?
Those with the strongest will would surely not identify with any faction, but may infiltrate one due to their skills.
I think I'd probably prefer to be underground and factionless, unless I thought I could achieve something by infiltrating a faction.

I am not sure if the substances to control the people were administered to all the factions but the Fearless were, which were the ones to keep the country on control.
The movie presents lose of individual choices that it is happening in real life.
Where are we going? What are we looking for in an ideal world to live?
We all need the basic needs to be covered but we can get lost in the way we live and get carried away by others’ goals and “believe” they are ours.
I went and got the movie out, I thought the concept was good, not entirely new though. The society is pretty well geared up to exploit people's natural abilities.

One of my earliest impressions of the adult world, I had as a child, was that NO one ever spoke the Truth about virtually everything. I do believe in ‘The truth shall set you free’, so I chose #3, opting for candour, of which there is hardly any in the world, especially in the ‘political’, as it desperately needs it, especially by those in power. The truth is usually hard to digest, but it should and must be told; if people don’t like it…hey, it’s a live and let die world.

This link is of an article about wild dogs that put their “society well being" before their own personal animal needs.
Rather interesting.

Sorry, I forgot to place the link
"..Researchers have known for some time that wild dogs are exceptionally social and civic-minded. Among most group-living carnivores, big adults feed first, gulping down the choicest organs and leaving junior diners to scrounge through gristly leftovers. Among wild dogs, said Patrick R. Thomas, the curator of mammals at the Bronx Zoo, “it’s the exact opposite.”
“The adults let the puppies feed first,” he said. “It’s very peaceful to watch.”
For puppies too young to leave the den, or for injured pack members unable to hunt, hale-bodied adults go further, provisioning the needy by regurgitating a portion of a recent meal.
Researchers have also known that wild dogs are so-called cooperative breeders.
In any given pack of closely related animals, a single male and female will do the bulk of the reproducing, while the other half-dozen or so adults serve as guardians, babysitters, even wet nurses for the alpha pair’s pups. Family is family, after all."

I'd certainly end up in the factionless faction if they could catch me.
But I'd avoid the whole mess if I could escape to the wilderness somehow.
I don't like factions or profiles or global government or ridiculous social experiments.
