highly valued thing in Western society, which is the society the boys belong to the island. If the values they previously possessed, including order, are truly a part of them, they would still possess them on the island, even without their society enforcing them. At first, the boys do attempt to set up a governing system, and decide to elect a chief. Though Jack insists he becomes chief, they ultimately choose Ralph because he was the one who called the boys by blowing the conch: “The being that

rejection from society, economically in this case. Likewise, in Armitage’s ‘The Clown Punk’, the persona's rebellious nature during the Punk era has resulted in the Clown Punk being rejected from society. The poet wants the reader to ‘remember’ the Clown Punk, who has a ‘dyed brain’.

The persona’s ‘dyed

Religions have been a significant factor in maintaining societies since the first human society formed. For instance, when Hinduism first emerged, it prevented peasants from rebelling by giving them hope that a person could rise to a higher-caste in his or her rebirth if the person works hard in his or her lifetime. Religions have been a solution to many social problems. In Cry, the Beloved Country, Paton suggests that faith can serve as a coping mechanism by showing how Christianity helps Kumalo

classical sociologists, Emile Durkheim stands out as the most relevant to modern sociology. I believe that his first-hand exposure to societies shift into an industrial nature, although temporally brief, allowed him to a more comprehensive view of how sociology would impact the future. In addition, Durkheim through his writing sought to encompass the large picture of society through the concept of structural functionalism. By analyzing social morality Durkheim attempted to bring a greater understanding

Technology is a powerful tool we can use to improve the way of life, but if used in the wrong way it can become a terrible thing. One example of this is the rigid control of reproduction through technological and medical intervention, including the removal of ovaries, the Bokanovsky Process, and the conditioning of children.

In other words, it is the so-called "tacit knowledge". However, if the epistemological basis of technology is narrow, it is expanded, refined and

My generation operates and communicates through technology as if it helps us breathe because most of us rely on it the same way.
