First, the major proof of this theme comes in the way that all order on the government falls apart with time. Although the kids initially decide to stay organized, elect a leader (Ralph), and decide on a symbol of authority (the conch), eventually it all falls apart. At first, everyone is given directions, and they all fill them out eagerly. However, as first seen in the scene when the boys go hunting and let the fire go out, losing the chance of being rescued, they all slowly turn towards the evil within them.

The status of social order, or government, on the island can be represented through the deterioration of the condition of Piggy's glasses. At the beginning, when everything is going well on the island, Piggy's glasses are in perfect condition. The first sign of decline in the state of Piggy's glasses comes when Jack punches Piggy and breaks a lens in the process. This is the first time there is any sign of trouble on the island.
