What is the conflict in the Hunger Games.

The Hunger Games is a 2008 novel by American writer Suzanne Collins (born 1962). It is the story of adolescents living in a dystopian, future North America that exists as a single super-state called Panem.
The central conflict in the story is that of the individual versus society. Katniss, a girl from the impoverished coal-mining region of District 12, is compelled to fight in Panem's annual, gladiatorial event known as the Hunger Games. The conflict between her individuality and society's greater needs for political cohesion is revisited throughout the story. This begins when she first finds herself forced to participate in the games which are, themselves, designed to ensure the stability of Panem's social order. For instance, at the conclusion of the book, Katniss' individual romantic desire for Peeta is trampled by the greater need of Panem to see her slay him. For Katniss, her individuality can be preserved only by ending her life.
