Lotto
One could generate a connection between Lottery and Fed Up. Bored is about the sugar market, and the the lobby that goes on ensure that the interests of the sugar growers are looked after. We know that sugar growers obtain trade protections, which have increased the price of sugars. When a few companies replace high fructose corn syrup, those companies likewise engage in comprehensive lobbying. Fast and refined food companies are in this system as well. The interesting thing is that when it comes to food, people choose the actual eat. They just do not have to consume sugar-laden unhealthy foods; this is an American inclination. It is actually it tends of a wide range of wealthy countries, but Bored is partially about how that government bodies ignore and suppress attempts to regulate needless sugars and other junk foods inside our diet.
In which the Lottery comparison can be used is usually that the townspeople inside the story will be Americans. They are engaging in a destructive tendencies, and they have no idea of why. They can be making a sacrifice of out of their members, yet there is not necessarily any point to it. The sacrifice is done because that is certainly tradition.

So part of the lessons can be seen like a call to stand up against the norms of society when they are wrong; or at the very least to simply accept your destiny gracefully when it comes to you. Although mostly, that after something is incorrect you may want to stand and surge against this in order to stop yourself via becoming a victim in the future. Not really standing up to get society in general means that anyone with standing up by yourself. Moreover, no one will help you launched your turn. So the lesson of the lotto when used on the modern politics system is that we have to do more to fully stand up for themselves. We can make the individual decision not to consume junk food – just as those in the Lotto town can just move to a different community – but we should not merely limit each of our response to person choice. We need to instead view ourselves while active members in society, and function to build the society that we want.
