Those who are in power abuse their authority. Their was always one character in each book that wanted to gain power and would do whatever to get it no matter who they hurt. Ralph and Jack were trying to figure out who they wanted to be leader and ended up getting in a fight and separating groups with other people. (Goulding

Awareness, Expression, Freedom: According to the international Google dictionary, one of the many definitions of the word “good” means that which is morally right. Contradictory to the definition of good, The World State, combines a mixture of totalitarian-technologist practices in order to manipulate the Brave New World society without the consent of the people.

that it was within your power to prevent? If you didn’t have malicious intent, was it still you fault? Does letting someone die when you know you had the capability of saving them in turn make you a murderer? All of these are questions that philosophical thinkers have tried to answer for centuries. The Doctrine of Acts and Omissions holds that it is morally worse to commit an act that brings about a bad event than it would be merely to allow the event to take place by not doing anything to prevent

Lord of the Flies, by William Golding, is a book that often portrays society's struggles between good and evil. This is expressed through the characterization of Simon and Jack; Simon is good and Jack is evil. However, as the book progresses we see that humanity isn’t just good or bad. They are all more like Ralph, who has never been entirely good nor bad. Every boy on that island has the same amount of good and evil. The difference between them is how they react that reality.

Euthyphro, endowed with an abundant knowledge of things subject to divinity, provides obscure reasoning for the concept of piety and premises thereafter. The perpetual sequence of premises Euthyphro provided begat an explicit argumentative flaw that came to be known as the Euthyphro Problem.
