Law & order

So much reading and studying ethics and The Lord of The Flies made me reflect on many things concerning our human nature. First of all, I have to say that I´m hooked with LOTF. Last night I was reading it and I realized that it is an excellent book; it makes you think about a lot of things. I´m really amazed how some people can write such complex and superb stories. This book is pretty "heavy" in a way, it´s like a punch in your face. It´s not so pleasant to read how these children change throughout the story to become these savages unable to reason and dominated by violence and the desire of blood. I think that the main topic of the book is about the dichotomy between law and individual freedom; to obey your basic instints or to respect the rules of your community. I think that the object of this book is to make you realize that it is impossible to think about the existence of a society without rules. I have to say that I´m very nihilistic at times, I consider myself to be an skeptic. I sometimes think that it would be better for us to do not have a government to rule our lives: now I have changed my mind. After reading this and reflecting I lot I think that it would be impossible. Maybe I tend to think in that way because I always see people complaining about the government. There are times that I think that they don´t represent us at all and they are in power just for seeking personal interests. However, a lack of laws can lead to a anachy that it´s not the solution to our problems. Not having laws and someone to control society in a way can lead to chaos and disaster. In my opinion, the only way to try to solve our problems as society is to be responsible for our acts as citizens and to obey and respect the law. What I would like to see is that people who are in the government do the thinghs they are supposed to do and be honest. We are in the 21st century and it is unbelievable that we haven´t learned how to correct our mistakes. It´s hard to believe that nowadays corruption still exists. I have something to say apart from what I have written:I want to congratulate our teachers because in a way the topics we are dealing with in class are similar between the subjects, and this gives us the possibility to discuss and to know deeply about these themes.
