From the dawn of humanity, to the eras of medieval and renaissance, all the way our
             current modern society, and even to the yet to be experiences distant future humanity has always
             had problems with one natural event...change. In late 16th century, there was an Italian
             philosopher by the name of Giordano Bruno who was trying to bring about change in his time's

             Piggy's constant attempts to be heard and considered and the suppression of Giordano
             Bruno's unique thoughts both exemplify how we as a society try to suppress those which are
             different than us, thus making ourselves feel superior. The conch shell made Piggy think he cou...
