Pretty much.
Also worth noting that the hunger games happened because there was an overarching overcontrolling central government. The districts rebelled and were defeated, and were then forced to live by EXTREMELY excessive regulations that pretty much kept them all in place and made it so they couldn't feed themselves even with plenty of ability to do so if not for the government preventing them from doing so.
The hunger games were the sign of the central governments dominance and control, and how the plebes in the outer districts should stay in there place and remember not to fight for their rights.
Essentially the hunger games happened specifically because of a lack of respect for a rights based ethical system.
I find it crazy how so many people ignore the simpliest credo. "The right to extend one's fist ends at another man's face."
