In Suzanne Collins' novel, The Hunger Games, the central conflict revolves around the theme of "man vs. society." 
 
While the story's protagonist, Katniss Everdeen, must fight to survive the Hunger Games, the bigger issue lies within the way society operates.
 
President Snow, the leader of Panem, is both politically corrupt and morally bankrupt. He joyously enforces the tradition of the Hunger Games and mandates that all citizens of Panem, regardless of their district, watch the gruesome events unfold on live TV.
 
In addition to enforcing the Hunger Games each year, President Snow also uses his political power in order to spread propaganda to the masses which results in long-lasting rivalries between various districts. By creating rifts between the people of each district, President Snow is able to effectively keep them from banding together to combat the real problem - him. 
 
This societal conflict is resolved (in this book, anyway) shortly after Katniss and Peeta realize they are the only tributes left in the Games. There can only be one victor, though, so one of the two has to die. Unwilling to hurt one another, Katniss and Peeta reach stalemate.
 
Katniss and Peeta have poisonous berries on hand. They agree to commit suicide together. As they lift the berries to their lips, the announcer frantically commands them to stop. He then declares the two of them victors, ultimately saving both of their lives.
 
Although this sets off a grisly chain of events that lead to Katniss and Peeta fearing for their lives, their act of unintentional rebellion proves to all of Panem that the Capitol will never actually "own" them.
 
The conflict continues on in Suzanne Collins' sequel, Catching Fire.
