A civilization is any complex society composed of people, social order, and communication; can be symbolic, verbal, or writing. Each civilization has their own unique perspective, and people in the civilization usually share the same common goal. People in one civilization behave different from people in another civilization, so there is not a” normal” way to behave. Civilizations’ custom vary through their situation, environment, and resources. If there was a “normal” society it would probably consist of adults working, and paying bills while the children go to school and play outside during their free time. However, if stranded on a desert island with group of one’s generation group civilization would change dramatically.
Civilization is the culture, society, and way of life of a particular area. People love to think that they are civilized , however, if the environment would change, as a result, behaviors will also change. Lord of the Flies is a perfect example of that ow easy humans, of any age, can go back to their uncivil and savage ways.

Jack, the red twelve year old antagonist, represents dictatorial rule and savagery. Jack also represents the stereotype of red heads, which are no soul, and have bad temper. Jack envy's Ralph selection to be leader and eventually forms his own group, the hunters, which he leads. Jack believes he should be leader of the group because he is leader of the choir in the beginning of the story. The hunters are a group of ruthless savages which hunt for food. Roger , member of the choir, manifest himself as the sadist, someone who gets pleasure from seeing others in pain, of society. Roger realizes Simon, the ‘buffer, between Ralph and Jack, symbolizes pure goodness and serves as a Christ-figure. Sam and Eric, the identical twins, they represent the losing of someone’s self in the beginning of the book they have different mentalities but as the book progresses they become one, as far as the other kids start calling them “SamnEric.” As the book progresses the boys lose all characteristic as a civilization and go back by their human nature Atomic warfare has been used very little compared to other ways of warfare, but that does not mean the effects are less …show more content…
