AB  - Theworld as a whole is already full of corruptions, especially when looking at thehuman rights and equality. From birth till death, people teach generations whatis right and what is wrong, but never ask what’s really right or wrong, withoutdepending on standardizations. What is meant here is, that when a child isborn, his family teaches the child rights and wrongs and let him live with theprinciples he learns for the rest of his life. Then, the society even decides whathis or her religion is going to be. These standardizations or stereotypesappear as ‘archetypes’ from the time of Plato to this century. While thesearchetypes can change from time to time, they also become the representativesof human beings that shows the characterizations of every single people withtheir types. This is exactly what Lord of the Flies tries to show; relationshipsof the children who seem innocent, but act according to what they’ve learnedfrom their societies. A group of children land on an island by force because ofa plane crash and they find a conch. They use it to build a parliament and theytry to maintain equality while giving all of them the right to talk, choose andlive freely which is exactly the same that they’ve learned from their parentsand the world they live in. The problem is, after sometime they forget about thisequality and start to fight for power.
