csaxton1 — 2016-10-27 14:02:24 UTC

Fear

csaxton1 — 2016-10-27 14:02:24 UTC

How can undersatnding our own nature help us in life.

csaxton1 — 2016-10-27 14:02:24 UTC

What aspects of society shape our lives the most?

csaxton1 — 2016-10-27 14:02:24 UTC

Does nature or nurture determine human behavior?

csaxton1 — 2016-10-27 14:02:24 UTC

How can we prepare for situations that test our morals?

csaxton1 — 2016-10-27 14:02:24 UTC

How does human nature reveal itself when challenges strike?

csaxton1 — 2016-10-27 14:02:24 UTC

How should society/civilizations be set up?

csaxton1 — 2016-10-27 14:02:24 UTC

csaxton1 — 2016-10-27 14:02:24 UTC

jt91027 — 2016-10-27 17:57:27 UTC

LIFE IS NOT GUMDROPS AND RAINBOWS! LIFE IS LIKE THE ISLAND HARD AND UNFORGIVING!

Neegan

rb90824 — 2016-10-27 17:58:18 UTC

Walking dead
some people say in some ways hes good but most of the people who know who neegan is and what he did say otherwise

clowns

ms91308 — 2016-10-27 18:04:20 UTC

the clown scare going through the united states shows how the masses will react to something frightening

Martin Luther King Jr

tr11004 — 2016-10-27 18:04:25 UTC

Martin Luther King Jr represents Ralph because no matter the situation both of them continued to lead their people/followers.

Gandi

tr11004 — 2016-10-27 18:07:13 UTC

Gandhi is kinda like Ralph and Jack because they both had the idea to lead. However, in LOTF Jack and Ralph have followers with the ways they lead differently.

Sasquatch

bc91304 — 2016-10-27 18:08:13 UTC

People believe that Sasquatch is real because we believe that it is real. People let the thought of a giant ape that walks on 2 legs into their minds and it starts to manifest in their brain and eventually it makes them think that the Sasquatch is real even if they have never heard or seen a Sasquatch before

TV show "Survivor"

ka91324 — 2016-10-27 18:08:21 UTC

In Survivor, people are put on and island with no electronics and connection to the outside world for 39 days, besides the people they are competing against for the prize. They are put to the test to win immunity (not going home) or rewards to help make their life in the game more comfortable.

TV show "Running Wild with Bear Grylls"

kr91409 — 2016-10-27 18:08:47 UTC

He takes one celebrity to take with him on a 2 day trip through the wilderness where people are out out of their comfort zones and have to be able to survive.

Carl Lee Hailey

wf91291 — 2016-10-27 18:09:19 UTC

In the John Grisham novel 'A Time to Kill', Carl Lee Hailey, a Vietnam verteran, paper mill worker, and over-all local good guy kills 2 white men after they rape his 12 y/o daughter.
Like the kids in the lord of the flies, he is a normal person until an 'indecent' occurs in his life.

socialism

ms91308 — 2016-10-27 18:09:46 UTC

Denmark is the happiest country in the world according to national geographic. this is due largely to the abundance of public accommodations they offer.

TV show Naked and Afraid

an17025 — 2016-10-27 18:10:39 UTC

The show is about two people who are put into the wilderness, naked, and faced with the challenge of surviving for 21 days. This relates to LOTF because they both show the emotional effects of being vulnerable in a survival situation.

Genghis Khan

tr11004 — 2016-10-27 18:11:07 UTC

Genghis Khan is like Jack because both characters are both brutal leaders and don't really care what their followers thought. they used fear as their main aspect of leading.

The movie "The Book Theif"

gs6760 — 2016-10-27 18:11:28 UTC

In this movie Liesel's "parents" and her best friend are killed when the Germans bombed her city. This shows how much people are impacted and how much people suffer because of war.

The book "Unbroken"

kr91409 — 2016-10-27 18:11:41 UTC

This book showed the effects war had on people like when they were captured by the Japanese and they would eat and do anything just to survive.

Scared of teroism

dc91067 — 2016-10-27 18:11:57 UTC

We have so much security at air ports and on borders because we fear being attacked

Vampires and Warewolves

md91371 — 2016-10-27 18:13:03 UTC

Many people believe in vampires and ware wolves because people are started to write books about them and make them sound real. Also, many movies are being produced so you can get an image of what they look like and become even more convinced that they are real.

Naked and affraid

ac6035 — 2016-10-27 18:13:42 UTC

they completely strip the person of their civilization and put them in the wild. They have to know strategies to keep them self healthy and alive, and it documents their instincts in the wild over 21 days.

Lord Of The Flies savages: Gang of children stripped, beat and tortured boy, 15, before leaving him for dead in a shallow grave

zk91003 — 2016-10-27 18:14:03 UTC

A court case that was related to LOTF for the brutal acts of the kids that beat a 15 year old boy.
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1173948/Lord-Of-The-Flies-savages-Gang-children-tortured-teenager-dumping-shallow-grave.html

USS indionaplys

nc11163 — 2016-10-27 18:14:06 UTC

The USS Indianapolis was a battle ship in WWII that was torpedoed by the axis powers and the remaining crew were forced to fight for there lives against man eating sharks just like the boy had to fight for there survival on the island in the lord of the flies book

Winston Churchill

gr91173 — 2016-10-27 18:14:30 UTC

Winston Churchill was like piggy because he knew much but did not have the resources or backing to Support his claims

Behind the lines

2016-10-27 18:15:16 UTC

This movie showed that the Germans treated the Americans people and killed them and showed people what they did to people if they got caught. Nate Hobert

Samsung

rb90824 — 2016-10-27 18:15:33 UTC

relates to LOTF by how at first the island was peacefull and they were getting along and then all chaos unfolds

Lost

am6033 — 2016-10-27 18:15:57 UTC

The Lost series is a great example of human nature, for it gives a good example of how quickly our feelings can go haywire and we rebel against any leadership we don't agree with.

Fear

lb91278 — 2016-10-27 18:16:06 UTC

People today are afraid of clowns because they have been on the news and all over social media doing things that are not common.

Murder Reveals 'Lord Of The Flies' Street Culture In Washington's Capital

zk91003 — 2016-10-27 18:17:59 UTC

Near the capital in washington there is a society that is like the one in LOTF they make there own rules to follow
http://www.opb.org/news/article/npr-murder-reveals-lord-of-the-flies-street-culture-in-washingtons-capital/

Donald Trump

ka91324 — 2016-10-27 21:11:49 UTC

In a way, Jack is like Donald Trump. In interview Donald always interrupts what Hillary has to say, and Jack interrupts what the people on the island have to

Deer

ka91324 — 2016-10-27 21:18:03 UTC

When we see deer crossing the road, we slow down so we don't hit them. The deer freeze, and instead of crossing the road to get where they are headed, they turn around and go back the other way, because that is what is most familiar to them.

Trying new things

lb91278 — 2016-10-27 22:59:31 UTC

We tend to do the things that we are comfortable with instead of trying new things. For example we tend to hang around people that we are familiar with rather then people that we don't really know.

TV show Survivor

sm91251 — 2016-10-27 23:07:31 UTC

In the show there are around 20 contestants that have to "Outwit. Outlast. Outplay." in a harsh environment trying to be the sole survivor. As an individual, you have to find your place in the games society to last in the game. If you are on the outside of the society, you will be voted out.

Parents

lb91278 — 2016-10-27 23:13:49 UTC

Parents have power over their children because they are the boss and they have the ultimate power over them.

Rick Grimes

sm91251 — 2016-10-27 23:16:23 UTC

Rick Grimes

sm91251 — 2016-10-27 23:16:39 UTC

In The Walking Dead, fear can guide you. It can make you do things you never thought imaginable to protect those you love. Whenever a threat has been against his "family" he will do anything to protect them even if it means killing to save them.

TV show

sm91251 — 2016-10-27 23:22:53 UTC

Forrest Gump

sm91251 — 2016-10-27 23:26:34 UTC

In the movie Forrest Gump, Forrest had a very low IQ score and everyone always told him how dumb he was. His mother always taught him the values that truly do matter and that he mattered even though everyone told him he didn't. Even though he wasn't the smartest his mother was determined to get him the same education and be treated equally like everyone else.

The movie "Allan and Naomi"

gs6760 — 2016-10-27 23:35:09 UTC

In this movie Naomi is so afraid of the outside world, she won't leave her bed much less her house. In LOTF the boys are so afraid of the beast and just want to kill it. Simon eventually figures out the beast isn't a beast at all but most of the boys spend their time on the island petrified of the "best."

TV show "One Tree Hill"

gs6760 — 2016-10-27 23:40:51 UTC

In this show, Dan has a bad heart and needs a transplant. After a series of unfortunate events, Dan leaves the country to buy a heart so that he wont die. However, in the process, he hurt many people and took many things from people to get what he needed. His human nature took over not caring what happened, much like what happened in LOTF. Jack didn't care what was best for the group, he was a hunter and he was going to hunt no matter what.

The Hunger ames

2016-10-28 00:20:21 UTC

The Media

2016-10-28 00:22:22 UTC

Especially the social media because a lot of people now days

The

2016-10-28 00:22:25 UTC

The Hunger Game

ab12515 — 2016-10-28 00:34:47 UTC

They were just trying too survive at all costs and the fear and pressure they went through in the movie was much like what the boys in Lord of the Flies went through, which in both circumstances made them do things they usually wouldn't do.

Capitalism

2016-10-28 01:03:07 UTC

Capitalism

gr91173 — 2016-10-28 01:04:47 UTC

Capitalism is a Form of government that allows people to follow their dreams and gain profit.

Solar power Run factory

gr91173 — 2016-10-28 01:07:26 UTC

This solar powered factory is completely ran off solar power, this allows the factory to be completely independently ran

2016-10-28 01:35:12 UTC

Tec

Phones

2016-10-28 01:35:12 UTC

The rise in technology especially phones has caused us to lose some parts in our humanity because we do not have the same values that we had before phones, such as face to face communication is less and less common because texting more convenient

ac6035 — 2016-10-28 01:39:47 UTC

The Diary of Anne Frank

ac6035 — 2016-10-28 01:43:54 UTC

It is a diary of a young jewish girl in Germany during the time of WW2 and the holocaust, it reveals her struggles and how scared her family is of the war and the sadness it is causing, she shares the lengths her family had to go through to stay in hiding to keep safe from the Nazis, it eventually ends in the death of her and her family due to the terrible ways of war and the holocaust, it effected everyone and hurt many people.

Hitler

2016-10-28 11:35:00 UTC

Hitler

bc91304 — 2016-10-28 11:35:42 UTC

Hitler was obviously a very evil person because he killed millions of Jews and gentiles just because he didn't like them and didn't believe in their religion. Hitler was inherently bad and was not a good person, some people say that Jack is like Hitler because he took control with fear and might just like Hitler did

Fear of Snakes and spiders

bc91304 — 2016-10-28 11:38:48 UTC

People are afraid of spiders and snakes along with other creepy crawlies because they either have had a bad experience with them or they think they are dangerous and evil. The little boys on the island are scared of the beast because one little boy said that he was scared of it so everyone else immediately got scared, kinda like if one of your friends said they saw the biggest snake they have ever seen and told you to stay away and be scared you would be.

Phones

2016-10-28 17:01:49 UTC

Phones help benefits kids because it makes it easier for kids to get help from there teachers. Also can email people for college stuff if you don't have a computer. Nate Hobert

Fear

2016-10-28 17:07:17 UTC

We have a lot security when people come into United States from different states or different countries. Nate Hobert

Divergent

md91371 — 2016-10-28 17:28:00 UTC

Divergent reminds me of Lord of the Flies because in the movie people are separated into different sections like Amity, Dauntless, etc and are trying to survive in their groups during the "war/ attack". Like in Lord of the Flies the children are separated into different groups such as hunters so they all depend on each other for survival.

pavlov

ms91308 — 2016-10-28 17:29:03 UTC

i have done a slight experiment with two foster children my family has had. i would always tell jacob hi whenever i entered a room and now when he sees someone enter a room he also says hi

Knowing Your Limits

an17025 — 2016-10-28 17:29:44 UTC

Knowing your own limits can help you in life because you are able to except what you can and cannot do sometimes without over-working yourself and stressing out too much.

Technology

bg91193 — 2016-10-28 17:29:58 UTC

the rise of technology has been beneficial for kids and learning , but also has caused us as people to disconnect from the world and not fully know whats going on around us .
this relates to LOTF because the more power they gained over others (like i think phones do for people ) the more they disconected from what was truly going on and stopped understanding and not knowing what was happening to them

Religious people

jw16666 — 2016-10-28 17:30:35 UTC

like when someone is super religious and doesn't swear but they end up swearing in a heated argument on accident

Ferral Children

cm10842 — 2016-10-28 17:31:00 UTC

Children who are abandoned and raised in the wild by things other than humans., show traits that are distinctly non human and generally have hard time, if not impossible, learning to live in civilization.
http://listverse.com/2008/03/07/10-modern-cases-of-feral-children/

TV show man vs. wild

nc11163 — 2016-10-28 17:31:23 UTC

Bear Grills has to survive a period of time by himself in the wilderness.Just like the very young boys had to for much longer and someone to talk to

tr11712 — 2016-10-28 17:31:25 UTC

kids want to be around technology, when i go to places all i see is kids on their parents phones and not saying a word to them. Or they would ask or the phones and say how much they want other than wanting toys not all kids are like that but a lot of them are
.

The Hunger Games

zk91003 — 2016-10-28 17:32:01 UTC

there are many similarities to Lord of the Flies. Both include survival of the fittest, kids versus kids, and violence. In both books children who must also come to violence and killing in order to survive

Mean Girls

ab12515 — 2016-10-28 17:32:27 UTC

In the movie Mean girls there is this group of girls that are just extremely rude to everyone but they are the popular girls because the make themselves seem better than everyone around them. this relates to lord of the flies because i feel that Ralph somewhat did this to piggy and others by calling them out on things and making them feel bad about themselves to make him seem better.

The hunger games

jw16666 — 2016-10-28 17:32:31 UTC

when all the participants are first being raised up on the pedestils

The Media

kr91409 — 2016-10-28 17:32:59 UTC

Most people believe what the media says even though most of it is not true and the Media persuades people by repeating the same things over and over again

127 hours

dc91067 — 2016-10-28 17:34:42 UTC

A man is exploring when he gets his arm trapped under a rock and has to survive with just what he brought with him its him against nature time....and that rock his under

old boy

jw16666 — 2016-10-28 17:34:55 UTC

In this movie a man is kidnapped for a bit of years and is forced to stay in one room by himself and this shows how human nature will force us to evolve and escape to a better place or position

the real world

bg91193 — 2016-10-28 17:34:57 UTC

once a child grows up and has to leave the comfort of there home , its scary because they are going off on there own and wont have there parents by there side every step of the way anymore and that is scary because you dont know whats fully out there yet .
Just like in LOFT the boys on this island are just kids and they find them selfs alone on an unknown Island , and they are scared .

Capitalism

md91371 — 2016-10-28 17:35:46 UTC

Capitalism is when people get to rule their own government and gain their own profit. This reminds me of LOTF because these kids were basically taking care of themselves and ruling their own "government".

The way the island was ruled reminded me of a fascist state were only ruled by one leader and the other had to do what they were told ,but they didn't. This idea reminded me of how Stalin even tho a communist still under the same idea.

nc11163 — 2016-10-28 17:35:57 UTC

Vampires and ware wolves

md91371 — 2016-10-28 17:37:43 UTC

Many people believe in vampires and ware wolves because they have either read something online or in a book, or have seen it on tv or a movie. People start to believe that they are real because authors and producers make them seem and look real, when in reality they are not.

dreams

bg91193 — 2016-10-28 17:38:51 UTC

when you are asleep , you dont know it. you think its all real , so when you are having a nightmare , you're scared and you wake up in a panic because it was all so real .You slowly calm down and understand that it was all fake , it didnt happen ,and it wasnt real.

Like in LOTF when they thought this beast was on the island with them and it was a real think but when the ones who calmed down more and saw it clearly , relized that there was no beast .

Too much power

ab12515 — 2016-10-28 17:39:46 UTC

if you give someone power that is not use to having any power at all like a 12 year old boy such as Ralph they may not know what to do with all of it and more than often they tend to misuse it.

Aron Ralston

cm10842 — 2016-10-28 17:42:29 UTC

Aron was trapped by a boulder against a canyon wall where he had to amputate his own arm to free himself. This is a good example of how humans have a will to live.

Influence of those close to us

cm10842 — 2016-10-28 17:47:40 UTC

Many of us tend to hold to the example of our parents and those close to us. Children tend to have the same political views and morals of their parents. also the influence of friends tend to shape your poersonality and influence how you act.

New Behavior

cj6050 — 2016-10-30 13:27:14 UTC

In the japanese reality TV show and in the Lord of the Flies the characters involved do things that they wouldn't normally do. Such as being naked in front of others,or being extremely hungry. In the lord of the flies case it would be linked to the killing of their friends.

Some good "ol grit

cj6050 — 2016-10-30 13:35:00 UTC

Both the characters in LOTF and in Unbroken had to persevere through hardships to reach their goal in the end, to survive. Ralph especially with his determination to remain in power and his series of actions in the end of the book. In the book Unbroken Louie is in prison camps across Japan and any wrong move resulted in him and his fellow inmates to be beaten, possibly to death. Without stepping back and thinking through everything neither of the characters may have survived.

WWI

ag18022 — 2016-11-08 18:40:58 UTC

During the Great War, soldiers on all sides lived in constant fear of gas attacks.

Impact of WWI

ag18022 — 2016-11-08 18:54:08 UTC

Not only was the impact on the environment great, (some gasses can stay in the soil for years, and there was 110,000 tons of gas used during the was), but the negative economic impact on the countries involved was tremendous. Additionally, there were approximately 14 million civilian and soldier casualties throughout the course of the war.

Technology, Divergent

am6033 — 2016-11-09 19:24:17 UTC

In the fiction book of Divergent, they are so far in technological knowledge, they used genetic modification to enhance ones ability. Of course in the common story of the "have's and the have not's", the people form boundaries between themselves and eventually they crack forming utter destruction and ruining most of the world. Fortunately they created Chicago's in which the human species was meant to "fix" itself in order to be back to its purest form, Divergent. I feel it is related because the people are specializing in different areas and power is being fought over.

Fear Mongering

am6033 — 2016-11-09 19:36:05 UTC

I actually created a video on fear mongering examples and the most prominent example for U.S. History. This is when people purposely scare people to make them believe one way. I newer version is some of Hillary Clinton's TV advertisements. But in the book they kill each other and brandish superiority by sticking up to the leader.

Fear of the Unknown

ag18022 — 2016-11-14 15:29:41 UTC

Anyone who's into genetics and has done any bit of research online will discover something: a lot of people HATE the idea of genetic engineering, mainly because they're afraid of it. This fear, I believe, stems from two primary sources. One is ignorance; not knowing enough about the topic, and in some cases not WANTING to be more educated, causes negative misunderstandings and misconceptions. The other is fear of change. I think that one is self explanatory.
