Can You be Civil?

In Lord of the Flies, there are several kids stuck on an island, after their plane crashes. At first they are civil and everything is ok. But, Jack, the oldest and manlier, decides he doesn’t like the way Ralph is running the island. So he and some others take off to form another group. This is like society because some people do not like the way our government runs the country, so they try and set up their own group. As the book goes on, there is little to no structure going on.  Soon the boys turn on each other and the savages in you come out.  What would have happened if there would have been girls on the island when the plane crashed? I think if there would have been girls on the island when the plane crashed, they would have kept everyone in line and civil.  Girls have different wiring in their brains than guys. Guys think about the small things first not the big picture. Girls come up with a plan before they start a project. That Is why, if this would have been girls on the island, the book would have been completely opposite. The girls would have made sure everyone is in order and nothing gets out of line.  Girls try to stay as civil as possible and not start anything. I think that girls are more likely to stay civil than guys. Girls we can talk things out that aren’t going to plan, as guys they just resort to war and violence to solve their problems.  That is why our world is made up with girls and guys, because if it wasn’t for the girls keeping the boys in line, we would have mass chaos, just like the book. So in our life we need to stay civil not matter what.

  1. So maybe you are right, we need civilized women in society to balance out the savagery that may occur if a society was dominated by males like history has taught us. Interesting concept/theory and possibly that is why humans are always becoming more and more civilized. I would like to know if a male dominated society in the modern world would remain civilized in the future.
