Civilizations


2)      The savage will take over the civil part of us, because the nature of the human is to survive. If there is a threat or an opportunity to survive you will take it. Savagery is based on instincts and if you let your instincts take over, the savagery will overpower the civil nature and you would do things that you otherwise would not do. The savagery is in all of us and as soon as there are no laws are rules the savage will come out, instincts will kick in and you will do absolutely anything to stay alive and survive. The beast and savage is in all of us and we will not know what the feeling of going into survival mode would be until we are put in a situation when it would be necessary. It is impossible to know how the body and mind would react no matter who it is, and being on the island in Lord of the Flies you would have to factor in the thirst and hunger that these growing children were experiencing.

3)      I think that society controls people but in return people also control society, because without people there would be no society and it would be complete anarchy. Without the society to the people it would be reckless and no one would be able to control themselves or other people. There would be no morals or no way to know what is right or wrong. So for humans to survive we need society, it keeps everybody sane and in line. And without society it would be one big world of Lord of the Flies and eventually we would kill off our own race because we have such a jealous nature and always trying to be better than the next person.

  1. So what do you think about society vs. society. Are some societies better destined to survive than other societies. I do agree that once you cross the line and become savage,it will be to late to change, even if you recognize it.
