For example, if somebody wakes in the morning feeling angry they will make brass decisions based on that emotion for the rest of the day. The idea of a functioning government would be impossible because the political views of the officials in office would differ daily.

Human nature is an essential question that has been pondered on for millennia. The interest in wanting to know if we are genuinely good or evil can plague the mind to such an extent that the topic can transcend into the fictional world. As a result of this question, writers have produced media that hint at their beliefs of an answer, one being Lord of the Flies.
