LOTF Sociology Questions

1.       I believe society can mentally tear down a man and kill him emotionally rather than just physically. For men they can tend to have a big ego and it is very important to them. You can mentally break someone to the point that they wish they were dead, or physically torture them. If you crush someone’s self-esteem it will greatly affect them. In Lord of the Flies when they take Piggy’s glasses, it kills him and he feels absolutely useless. We as human beings know how to hurt people and what can break a man. It is a sad thing to say but society is cruel and messed up.
2.       I think that our savage self will start to overcome our civilized self. It can consume us from the inside out until there is nothing left of our civilized self. It is almost easier to be a little savage and harsh to people. Sometimes people can really get on your nerves and you can’t take it anymore so you just explode and tell them how it really is. Being savage is somewhat of a release, letting out all that anger you have built up inside can help you to feel better. Sometimes people are just savage to get attention and laughs.

3.       A civilization is created by a group of people coming together. I believe people are controlled by society because we want to be accepted. People don’t want to be frowned upon and seen as different so they go with what society thinks is right. Everyone goes with the grain and not many dare to go against it. We have conformed to society and doing what it sees as normal. People are scared of being judged and looked at differently and they just blend in so they aren’t noticed. Our society is corrupt and I think people need to stop allowing it to run their lives.
