Societies have gone through many changes over time in order to function successfully. Through trial and error, it is evident that some companies have been successful in the way they were designed. In some cases, for a company to grow or a new company to form, a group must not know which systems are broken. Systems such as the capitalist structure have been present throughout history in early Egypt, in Greek gods and morals, in kings and peasants, in Hitler and his followers, and in many other societies. Systems such as the capitalist structure have been modernized and modified to keep up with what is happening now in a specific culture, to maximize efficiency and minimize failure. Corporations can be broken down into subgroups and still have the same type of capitalist structures, such as a trading company with a small executive board and many employed workers. It takes experience and knowledge to know what kinds of groups fail. When we find ourselves in a situation where we need to form a power structure or rank system to survive, there are many ways this can be done. It's a question of who takes on which roles and fulfilling them correctly. In Lord of the Flies, a story set during World War II, a group of schoolchildren are isolated on an island. They have to fend for themselves and create their own society with certain roles to survive. In most companies there is always a known power structure or leader who oversees all operations of the group and holds the highest power. In the book, Ralph is one of the older boys on the island and is chosen to be the leader. Ralph wants to divide the boys into groups and give them certain positions to hold until they are rescued. Ralph wants the boys to be the leaders of their society. It takes a lot of trial and error for a society to function properly. It also takes a balance of skills and a correct distribution of roles to maintain a stable structure and avoid conflicts. When a group is socialized from birth and then forced to undergo socialization again to adapt to a new social structure, major problems can occur. The structures of societies have been built and mirrored over time and can be seen even in the smallest societies like the one discussed in the book Lord of the Flies. This society was created out of desperation to survive, and its overall destruction came about through the combined actions of the boys. Works Cited/ReferencesGolding, W. (1962). Lord of the Flies.
