...Lord of the Flies by William Golding is famous among the readers for its theme centered on civilization and savagery. One of the most important concepts that relate to the theme is the “essential illness of the mankind.” The essential illness is not an actual physical illness, but is a part of the mind of a human. In the novel, the essential illness is described as the natural evilness, which comes from human nature. Also, the illness is possessed by all humans, no matter their backgrounds. Most importantly, it is described to contribute to the fall of civilization without the supervision of super ego. First, according to the novel, mankind's essential illness is the evil which is part of human nature. This argument is indirectly introduced...

...Lord of the Flies is a novel which demonstrates mankind’s essential illness, evil, by examining how a group of young boys react when they are removed from civilization. As the story unfolds, author William Golding also examines the justice happening between two contrasting characters. In Lord of the Flies Golding’s characters Ralph and Piggy are unlikely friends because of their difference in physical and social abilities, yet similar in their common belief regarding the importance fire and rules; and also the way they see justice. Ralph and Piggy are very different in both their social and physical appearances. Piggy is the opposite of Ralph, he is constantly being brought down by the other boys, he is teased because of his body and ‘ass-mar’. Whereas Piggy is teased and bullied, Ralph gains respect and the title of chief from the boys. Ralph is a big`un, attractive, powerful, and is the one who found the conch. He is respected right from the start of the book, Piggy is called fat, ignored, and disrespected numerous times. As time progresses in the novel, it is clear that Piggy is the most intelligent and Ralph is the only one who listens to what he has to say. Ralph advocates for Piggy when Jack torments and teases him. He decides to retrieve Piggy's glasses when they are stolen by...

...Lord of the Flies Symbol and Theme "What I mean is... Maybe it's only us."... Simon became inarticulate in his efforts to express mankind's essential illness” (Page 89). In this quote from the Lord of the Flies the beast is used as a symbol to represent the inner savagery that exists within us. Symbol is something that stands for or suggests something else by reason of relationship, association, convention, or accidental resemblance. William Golding uses symbols to support the theme of Lord of the Flies which is civilization vs. savagery. This theme is present in many parts of the book but it is specifically developed using the following three symbols: the beast, the conch shell and, Simon. During the scene were Simon encounters the Lord of the Flies the Lord of the Flies speaks to him and says “There isn't anyone to help you. Only me. And I'm the Beast... Fancy thinking the Beast was something you could hunt and kill... You knew, didn't you? I'm part of you? Close, close, close! I'm the reason why it's no go? Why things are the way they are?” (Page 142). This quote completely reveals that the beast is symbolized as the innermost evil within all of us. This has a major role in the civilization vs. savagery theme because the beast represents the savagery. The beast is used yet again as a symbol for inner evil when Jack mounts the pig head on a stick. “The head is for the beast. It’s a gift” (Page 137). This shows how the boys begin to almost worship the beast as a god. It displays...

...Nurture is people taught by the way they are teached. Mostly coming from their environment and things they observe. Also because of different situations they are in or put in. People’s behavior is shaped by interactions with the environment. In Lord Of Flies the boys realize they need to come together to survive on the island and also to find a way to be rescued. Ralph becomes the leader and decides he’ll be the one to keep the boys on the right track about being rescued. He just wants the boys to take the situation they are in serious. Ralph shows nurture because he still realizes just because they are no adults they must be rules and must be followed. He’s looking at it as what is they was adults around, him and the other boys would have to listen and he...

...111. PI.Is.III111.rsflllll M. Phenomenon Keirsey and Bates's Please Understand Me, first published in 1978, sold nearly 2 million copies in its first 20 years, becoming a perennial best seller ~ll ov~r ~he world. Advertised only by word of mouth, the book became a favo~te tralmng and counseling guide in many institutions-government, church, buslnes.s-and colleges across the nation adopted it as an auxiliary text in a dozen dIfferent departments. Why? Perhaps it was the user-friendly way that Please Understand Me helped people find their personality style. Perhaps it was the simple accuracy of Keirsey's portraits of temperament and character types. Or perhaps it was the book's essential messag~: that members of families and institutions are OK, even though they are fundamentally different from each other, and that they would all do well to appreciate their differences and give up trying to change others into copies of themselves. Now: P"IS' IllIIrstalllll H For the past twenty years Professor Keirsey has continued to investigate personality differences-to refine his theory of the four temperaments and to define the facets of character that distinguish one from another. His findings form the basis of Please Understand Me II, an updated and greatly expanded edition of the book, far more comprehensive and coherent than the original, and yet with much of the same easy accessibility. One major addition is Keirsey's view of how the temperaments differ in the intelligent roles they...

Historically, philosophy was the first form of theoretical knowledge. As a rational theoretical tool of comprehending the world, philosophy arose in ancient Greece in stiff battle with mythology and religious consciousness. It came out to lay the foundation for the evolvement of scientific consciousness and the emergence and development of the sciences - Mathematics, Astronomy, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, etc. In an environment rife with various and varying superstitions and myths, the study of the History of Science and Philosophy of Science becomes crucial, lest science itself falls within the ambit of mythology and superstition and becomes another form of myth even in the hands of the tutored. The study of the History of Science...
