world 21 / divergent world description. Divergent world is based on the book DIVERGENT by Veronica Roth. The concept of this world is based on the dividing of people into factions based on their personal beliefs and determined by an aptitude sat at the age of sixteen. ‘Decades ago our ancestors realised that it is not political ideology, religious belief, race or nationalism that is to blame for a warring world. Rather, they determined that it was the fault of human personality - of humankind's inclination toward evil, in whatever form that is. They divided into factions that sought to eradicate those qualities they believed responsible for the world's disarray.’ There are five factions:
Amity blamed aggression, Erudite blamed ignorance, Candor blamed duplicity, Abnegation blamed selfishness, and Dauntless blamed cowardice. In the late 19th Century, the Ministry for Magic identified a magical threat, a terrorist bent on turning the public against muggleborns. After several attempts at war, they decided it was time to align with the Muggle Ministry and do away with separation and elitism, and to combine forces to tackle their common enemies. As much as they believed that everyone would have to work together, they also believed in divide and conquer. It was best to identify everyone's strengths and to go from there. Magical and Muggle unity began at the turn of the century. Schools opened with the five faction rule. At sixteen, the age of maturity, all children would be subject to an aptitude test with simulations, and based on their choices they would be sorted into their factions. If they were raised by parents of one faction, it did not mean that they were automatically of that faction. They had a choice - the faction the test chose for them, or the faction they grew up in. Children are sorted into Hogwarts houses at age eleven, and resorted into their factions at sixteen. Reading the gdoc on this world is a must!
