Literature- Bullying (Man's inhumanity to Man)

Our society or our Crossroads South community can't put an end to bullying because people and students feel that bullying is the only way to get respect from their peers. To support, people get afraid of bullies and listen to them when they are speaking because they are scared of getting hurt by the bully. This statement is also true in the book the Lord of the Flies. In this novel, Jack bullies Piggy any chance that he can get; as a result, people respect Jack and don't even bother correcting him. If a boy on the island does correct or insult him, than Jack can turn everyone on the island against the boy who offended him. In addition, no one stands up for Piggy because they all fear Jack and do not want to get in his way.
