I definitely believe this, as before i thought some members of my group were calm and maybe almost naive, but after hearing their Ideas about the punishments we should hold, I definitely see that normal, calm looking people can become really cruel in almost an instant.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes because people need to be kept in check

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that people are born with the ability to be brutal and cruel. Under specific circumstances people will do the worst of things to thrive and live. The way you are taught to be is the way you will act. But, nobody can change the person full of potential that you are.

# data[].attributes.body
I do agree that people have the abilty to be brutal from brith.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that everybody could be cruel. Most people probably wouldn't but if under the right circumstances they could be.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with William Golding. I feel that all people are born with the ability to be cruel through lack of attention or isolation.

# data[].attributes.body
My punishment involved covering someone with salt and let the animals lick them to death by cutting their skin, infecting them, and ultimately bleeding out. So yes, everyone can be cruel.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that could happen, because sometimes, cruelness could be the answer. Even the moral is low, it could still be an effective way.

# data[].attributes.body
I do agree because without any laws humans revert back to the brutal ways.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes because people are selfish

# data[].attributes.body
I think that anyone could be cruel but it has a lot to do with what they think is right and their belifs.

# data[].attributes.body
I do because everyone can be cruel. I think it matters if they stay that way based o how they are raised or what their opinions are growing up.

# data[].attributes.body
16 because that is when we start to become adults and if we can make decisions then we could learn from any mistakes from that time.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the age that people are old ennough to make their own decitions is 16. I think this because as a child, your brain is still developing so we might not make the best decistion for ourselves.

# data[].attributes.body
yes because you never know what you are going to become when your a child

# data[].attributes.body
yes because i think people would do bad things if it werent for jail time and police

# data[].attributes.body
Sometimes, because it really depends on the type of person, and the people they are with.

# data[].attributes.body
I think if there was no order it would get out of hand and there would be people acting like savages. I think there would only be a couple to start but to survive more would have to be like savages.

# data[].attributes.body
People would do what they want without order and control and people would begin to act brutal nd harsh.

# data[].attributes.body
13-16 it depends when you mature because if you don't mature you cant make your own decisions

# data[].attributes.body
I think anytime when they are mature enough to know what you need to survive, how to form a government, and any extra needs. So, I would say probably end of middle school to high school.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't completely agree with this. Just because you don´t have to follow rules doesn't mean you won't want to. But, I think some people will act completely erratic because they're only in line for selfish reasoning.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that at their base humans are brutal, but with control those traits fade. However with to little, or to much control chaos returns

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with this because without order and control the world would rage into anarchy causing all people to have to fend for themselves and act like savages.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree with William Golding. I feel that people in a state of nature won't be cruel to one another because our brain knows that the only way to survive is to work together. I think that people become cruel when they are left isolated.

# data[].attributes.body
At the age of 25 the human brain fully develops, whereas with younger peoples they are susceptible to corruption. They see things how they are advertised and that doesn't change until they are much older

# data[].attributes.body
At the age of 18 people are mature enough to make their own decisions and are able to accept consequences for their actions.

# data[].attributes.body
I think around 16-18 would be a good time because they are more mature and they can make the best decisions without any help.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with William Golding on the fact that we all have the abiity to be cruel. This is because no one has only made kind desictions. Everyone has to have been cruel before do it is in our nature.

# data[].attributes.body
I sort of agree, I think that as people age, they gain their morals from their gardiens.

# data[].attributes.body
yes i agree because people would do what they would want to do without this.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that about the age of 18 people can make their own decisions without supervision. People can mature quickly but still make bad choices and need somebody to be there just in case. But, most people pick up responsibility by 18 and know right from wrong.

# data[].attributes.body
I think a good age would be after high school, so around 18-19

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Golding on the fact that control is what keeps us in check. I belive this because without a government, people would be in anarchry which is a thing of chaos.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree that people all have the ability to be cruel and heartless

# data[].attributes.body
i think we obtain balance by obeying the rules but also you can use your rights

# data[].attributes.body
i think 18 because thats when you become an adult.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that people are old enough to make their own decisions at the age of 21. I think this because the prefrontal cortex becomes fully developed

# data[].attributes.body
I think we can strike a balance between rights and rules by asking certain people of which we rule over of how many right's they need in order to not feel completely powerless while still feeling as though they are protected by the government and base our decisions off of that.

# data[].attributes.body
I think most laws should be worked around peoples rights so you can follow both.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that people should have as many rights as possible without things getting out of hand and still protecting the community.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, people enjoy suffering of those they don't like deep down

# data[].attributes.body
I could not agree any more, an earlier point I stated earlier was that if there was to much control over people they revolt, but if theres not enough then nothings holding them back from chaos. Same with this, you need just a level balance for it to work

# data[].attributes.body
I think that we can strike a balance between rights and rules by having rights be what we can do and rules be what we must do.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this is decided upon the situation. If you are building a government for a country, and you have a lot of time and can put in effort, the people need rights. But if it is like a quick "government" for the sake of survival, then I believe you don't need as many rights, just a government to help survive.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that people need their happiness and deserve their rights by the government. I think the balance is letting the people do what they want but to a limit. They should not be able to do anything that will harm others and drive civilization into the ground. In my opinion, the government should just be there to supervise and not control.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it all depends on the person

# data[].attributes.body
They have to work the rules aorud some rights and some rights would have to be sacrificed.

# data[].attributes.body
i think about 15-16

# data[].attributes.body
depending on the decision being made, it can range from 15 to 18

# data[].attributes.body
The balance is that there shoudl be plenty of rights to be able to show who you are but laws that prohibit you from taking that away from others.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel that we can strike a balance with our government by telling the government what rights we want to be taken in exchange for protection.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that people are all born with the ability to be brutal and cruel.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes because as shown in the Common lit even the best people can turn bad based off the situation.

# data[].attributes.body
In my personal opinion, people are never truly old enough to make their own decisions without adults until they become one because at a young age many young people from a toddler to a 19 year old don't really have much hindsight about what consequences there could be when making choices. The reason why is because they've never had to make a choice that could impact them for the rest of their life until they make one like college, profession, property, etc and this usually doesn't happen until at least 18 years old when people either go to college or not which is a choice that they make by themselves.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with him because every can be brutal and cruel.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that all people have the abiity to be brutal and cruel because alll people have it in them

# data[].attributes.body
I think this is true however not all of us want to be. We as humans would prefer peace and cooperation rather than violence but some are the opposite.

# data[].attributes.body
Not all people will act like savages because some people will stick together and have self control.

# data[].attributes.headline
I agree because we all still have an animal in us.

# data[].attributes.subject
I agree because we all still have an animal in us.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree because people all have angry an sometimes like to bring it out.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with him because we originator from hunters.  Who need to be cruel to survive.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes because not everyone nows if they are going over the line.

# data[].attributes.body
I do because anyone can be mean. Anyone can attack someone else its just whether or not you do that.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with this because every single person when they are born may turn out to be bad.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I agree. Because it's human nature to be cruel.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, because if I was stripped of my social order than I won't know what to do.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree because if there was no law and order everybody would be stealing other peoples stuff.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with him, I just think that it all depends on how we are raised and the people that we are around.

# data[].attributes.body
i agree becase with out it i would be insane and be cruel but social makes me happy

# data[].attributes.body
Yes i agree because people are selfish and think about themselves

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with him. I think that, given certain circumstances, anyone can be brutal or cruel. For instance, if a family is being attacked by someone, I think it would be perfectly reasonable for an otherwise harmless parent to fight brutally to protect their kids

# data[].attributes.body
ya i agree

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, everyone says to get rid of the police, but no one realizes that doing that would ruin our country.

# data[].attributes.body
I think 20 years old would be old enough to make decisions on your own.

# data[].attributes.body
10-11

# data[].attributes.body
Kids around this time start to act more mature and they can start driving at this time so they can make their own decisions and learn from them.

# data[].attributes.body
13-14 because that when people begin to understand the world

# data[].attributes.body
we make it so we follow laws but are also protected kinda like a seatbelt it is the law but it protechs you

# data[].attributes.headline
I do agree because without order people will do whatever they want with order atleast most people follow and dont attack people.

# data[].attributes.subject
I do agree because without order people will do whatever they want with order atleast most people follow and dont attack people.

# data[].attributes.body
I somewhat agree. We wouldn't be "savages", though we wouldn't exactly be saints either.

# data[].attributes.body
I think 16

# data[].attributes.body
People have the capacity to be both altruistic or cruel. I think it is very circumstantial.

# data[].attributes.body
I disagree because people turn out they do for all different types of reasons.

# data[].attributes.body
I think this is true but not necessarily. I believe that it is personally our will to not become aggressive and brutal that it is our will that changes this.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree, because if we did not have any laws or social pressure, the corld would turn even more chaotic than it allready is.

# data[].attributes.body
We make it so we follow laws and if you break them you get punishesed

# data[].attributes.body
I think that 16 is the right age because they are going to be adults soon and the have a job and they can drive.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the age that you are old enough to make your own decisions is 16 because then you can drive and your parents don't need to drive you everywhere.

# data[].attributes.body
Whenever they feel is right.

# data[].attributes.body
We can by doing what is right and what we want at the same time.

# data[].attributes.body
I think they can make their own desicions when they have fully  matured and have responsibilities
.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't agree because people still develop morals and they are hard for there morals to break.

# data[].attributes.body
When we follow the laws

# data[].attributes.body
When rules made can be fair and there has to be a grey area for some laws because they need to make sure people still have some life and freedom.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree

# data[].attributes.body
I think that at 18 people should be able to make their own choices because they would be in collage and not living with their parents

# data[].attributes.body
we can have an agreement that I keep certain rights if you protect me from some things and so on.

# data[].attributes.body
I partially agree. I think that some people, if given the chance, would readily hurt others with no second thoughts. however, I think that other people would remain gentle if the rules were removed.
