This essay is based on the novel "The Lord Of The Flies" written by Mr William Golding about a group of boarding school boys from somewhere in England in the era of the First World War who are fleeing the country by aeroplane because of the fears from having the school bombed as well as themselves bombed on by the enemy. The aeroplane crashes on a mysterious island and the school group of boys get stranded on the island and have to fend for themselves without any grown adults and having no knowledge of the island. During their stay, fear slowly overwhelmes some of the particular school boys and soon later and outburst of phycotic rage, savagness and violence are brought up upon.
This essay is about the whole fear concept and the discussion on the saying of "Fear is the enemy of civilis
ation, fear prevents construction and progress." and i will be discussing then fragility of civilisation against the destructive power of fear.
To conclude, fear is an enemy of civilisation and fear prevents construction and progress because civilisation is a very fragile thing and just the destructive powers of fear can do a lot of damage to civilisation and can collapse because of it, just like the Novel "Lord Of The Flies".
But what happens when the society and the civilisation are over powered by fear by the people within the society? All hell would probably break loose because of the reaction people have when they are consumed in fear.
Civilisation and society is a very fragile thing. You need to keep the order and the peace in order to keep civilisation on going.
