Answer: I think Golding is onto something.
Step-by-step explanation:
While humans are capable of great good, we also have the potential for great evil. I believe that we need rules and order to live by because without them, we would be unable to function as a society. There are many examples throughout history of humans doing negative things to each other without noticing just how bad they are. For instance, the Holocaust, slavery, and genocide are all examples of humans committing terrible acts against each other. These events show that humans are capable of great evil when left unchecked. However, I don't believe that humans are inherently evil. Rather, I think that our actions are shaped by our environment and experiences. Overall, I think that Golding's view of human nature is more accurate than the idea that humans are inherently good.
