In a world where people are taught right from wrong and correct morals it would only make sense to think everyone is born innately good. However, if all discipline was taken out and nobody was taught the right thing, would humans be innately evil? In the Lord of the Flies by William Golding a group of boys get stranded on an island and have to survive. After finding out that there are no adults on the island, they vote Ralph as the leader of the group. Ralph and another boy Jack do not see eye to eye and after some time, Jack separates into another group and they all turn into savages after losing a sense of civilization and morals.
Evilness is destined to happen if the good is not strong enough. The novel, “The Lord of the Flies”, by William Golding reveals that there is a little bit of evilness in everyone. The story is about a group of British boys who gets their plane shot down in an unknown war, and become stranded on an island. With no adult supervision, the boys must figure their own way to manage on the island and fight between civilization or savagery. When the sight of hope, order and humanity is lost, evilness will prevail and cannot be prevented.
Evil is an inherent trait that humans have. In William Golding’s book, The Lord of the Flies, a group of boys are stranded on an island and have to figure out how to get rescued. At first, the boys have a lot of fun because there are no adults, but as they’re on the island longer and longer, they start to turn on each other. The author of the book, chose to make the characters young British boys for multiple reasons. First, they are British because the world sees British people as very civilized and not very likely to act like savages.
Evil begins the moment when a young human is tested on whether their behaviors are right or wrong. In the story the boys are ecstatic with no adults on the island. They are free from civilization and adult rules. When Jack goes hunting for the second time with his hunters, he returns only to find Ralph upset because they let the fire go out. Jack attempts to tell Ralph about the hunting experience.
It took mankind thousands of years to emerge from a state of darkness that, under certain circumstances, can be restored in the blink of an eye. A group of British schoolboys get stranded on an uncharted island in Lord of the Flies by William Golding. Ralph, the rightful chief, butts heads with Jack, a hot-tempered redhead, about the main objective of the group-rescue or meat. Jack immediately urges the group to hunt for food, volunteering himself and the choir to fulfill the task. Many older boys, referred to as bigguns, follow suit with Jack and create their own group of savages.
Human genetic engineering is a concept thought up by innovative scientists with the hopes to better the world by manipulating human genes. Somatic cell gene therapy involves the cloning of genes and reintroducing them into cells, other than egg and sperm cells. The manipulation of genomes that take place in sperm and egg cells is known as germline gene therapy and would alter the traits that a child is born with. This type of change would be inheritable and can be passed from generation to generation. However, the biggest concern with genetic engineering is its safety.
In the Book, Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, a group of young boys are left stranded on a island with no adult supervision, and boys are left to create their own society. Golding tries to illustrate his negative view of humanity, stating that human behavior is inherently evil, this opinion is fallacious. While Golding argues that humanity is inherently evil, this is invalid because humanity is good at heart and it is the situations that makes humanity turn evil. Humanity will impulsively cooperate and help others in order to survive. On November 20, 2012, an article was released about a scientific study that was conducted by researchers at Harvard University and Yale, on the topic of human behavior when put into quick situations.
Lord of the Flies follows the story of british boys stranded on an island trying to make a civilization and how it comes to fall at the hands of the boys. The novel focuses in on the ideas of innocence, fear, power and primitivity. Irony in the novel shows the reader that one’s primal nature and inner evil can affect society on a large scale. Goldings use of symbolism in relation to themes in the novel shows how people can have rules in civilization but the people rule civilization.
