Lit. (Bullying to Man's inhumanity to Man)
Even though society thinks bullying is wrong, it will never be able to stop it. The reason for this is because most of society is fearful of the bully, which means no one may have the guts to stand up to the bully. In Lord of the Flies, Jack would be considered the bully and the rest of the boys would be considered society. Jack strikes fear into the others, which is why most of them choose to follow him instead of Ralph. Once the bully strikes fear, most people become hypnotized to not do anything or follow him or her because they may feel that they are protected if they follow the bully. The reason they may feel protected is because then they won't have to worry about being terrorized everyday. Jack offers protection from the beastie in Lord of the Flies, which is why most of the boys choose to follow him. In addition to this, they may feel protected from Jack himself because they won't have to worry about him bullying them. Also, bullies can influence others into being on their side. Like in Lord of the Flies, Jack influences the other boys and even Ralph at some point to bully Piggy. This is why bullying will always be a part of society.
