Psychology: Lord of the Flies
In the book, "Lord of the Flies" by William Golding, there were many things that happened that relate well to what we have been doing in Psychology 181. There were several times when I found myself relating what we learned in class to the situation that the group of boys in the book found themselves in. The knowledge that I have learned has helped me understand and try to figure out why some of the characters acted the way they did. I found the whole thing very interesting.In this report I will demonstrate what I have found to be some of the most interesting points of psychology that were incorporated in "Lord of the Flies". This will prove to be a difficult, but inspiring task. The first thing I noticed was we stereotype people as soon as we meet them. Another, interesting psychological finding that was in the book was that the boys had to fill the basic need. This relates to Maslow's hierarchy of human needs. Finally, in doing this report I get to incorporate another interesting point of psychology. That is that I am doing a report from secondary source in perspective of the boys on the island. That is with the assumption that the book is a true story that happened to this group of kids.
In doing this report I gathered my information from a secondary source to come up with my findings throughout this paper. The only exception to this was Ralph who barely avoided the same fate. This happens after Jack and some of the other savages come to Ralph's side of the island and raid their camp taking Piggy glasses. It showed that what Maslow ranked as most important to least important was proven in what happen on the island. As soon as he ran into Ralph he asked his name and tried to become friends with him. Jack was another member of the plane on the island. Piggy puts trust in Ralph by telling him a nickname that he had in school and hated. This also refers to Maslow's first need, safety. Jack was at the first meeting and thought that they should have a leader. This assignment is being done as a report from secondary a source. The book integrated many different aspects of psychology. This means that on the island, there is nothing to fill any of their need. After some time and conflict Jack had everyone on the island under his command or killed them. If they did not want to belong, they would have stayed off by themselves or not have joined in on the meeting.
