Lord Of The Flies: Humanity
Are humans naturally bad people? According Lord Of The flies we are. In the following essay you will see a significant amount of evidence that people are indeed bad, but there is also a silver lining to show that people can be good. Author William Golding wrote this after being in World War II, so he was most likely mentally unstable and pessimistic over the events he had just seen and been a part of which is a main reason as to why he thought that humans are horrible, evil people.
Exhibit A, the Holocaust was essentially the attempted Apocalypse for the Jews. German Nazi leader Adolph Hitler thought they were the inferior race that caused all the problems for Germany. He collected all of the Jews he possibly could and held them in concentration camps. These concentration camps were some of the worst treatment humans have ever gotten in all human history. They slept on wooden bunks full of feces and other disgusting by-products and they pretty much just shoved in as many people as they ever possibly could, not to mention they were completely unsanitary. They got fed once a day, which was a piece of bread and water. The poor victims were horribly dehydrated and skinny because of the lack of food and water. This was a time of Genocide and Murder, and is a strong case as to why humans are evil people.
The Rwandan Genocide was the 1994 mass killing of hundreds of thousands of Rwandan’s. It started over long disagreements over power of the two most powerful groups the Hutus and the Tutsi’s. Over the course of roughly 100 days from the assassination of Juvénal Habyarimana over 500,000 people were killed, this could have been the total Genocide of over 20% of the population of Rwanda. In 1990 the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), a rebel group, made up of mostly of Tutsi refugees, invaded northern Rwanda from Uganda. The Rwandan Civil War, fought between the Hutu regime, and the RPF, with support from Uganda, vastly increased the ethnic tensions in the country and led
