Many important minor themes can come to mind about William Golding's Lord of the Flies, such as hostility, youth, curiousness, innocence, emptiness, primitivity, and meanness. Though this may be true, there is only one major theme of this story: civilization vs. savagery. Throughout the book, these boys battle themselves (and each other) about whether they should act civilized or primitive. Stephen Dobyn’s Bleeder is about a boy who fights the demons within himself who want to harm the handicapped boy at the camp he is counseling at. This, too can have the theme of civilization vs. savagery because of the fact that he has to refrain from being hostile and act normal. These two works of literature shares many of the same and/or similar themes.

In today's society, relationships of all different kinds become more and more accepted each day. However, when it comes to interracial relationships, people still hold opposing viewpoints on the matter. For the most part, peoples' viewpoints all boil down to two beliefs; the traditional belief and the popular culture belief. People who follow the traditional belief are seen as more proud of and loyal to their culture/heritage and tend to be more segregated than others. They feel that when someone of their own culture dates someone outside of their own culture, he or she is "wanting to escape" from his or her cultural identity. On the other hand, popular culture belief sees people not by the color of their skin nor by their culture, but rather

Margaret Mead is one of the most influential anthropologists to modern society due to her anthropological research and her outspoken demeanor on any topic. Mead’s research was groundbreaking in an era where places like Samoa were still seen as the paradise away from the civilized world. Her efforts to transform the unknown societies of the Samoans into visual imagery for the Western world were successful and resulted in the book, Coming of Age in Samoa: A Psychological Study of Primitive Youth for Western Civilization, originally published in 1928. This book made the exotic and misunderstood cultures of the Samoans tangible for the general population. Mead’s special effort to debunk the myth of unavoidable childish adolescence was paramount in her work in Samoa, specifically adolescent females. Margaret Mead established in her work, Coming of Age in Samoa, that adolescence does not need to be the unwieldy and uncomfortable period in life that Western culture portrayed as “stormily” (Mead 5).
“Earth people will beat out any other intelligent life-form in any and all competitions” is a theme, but “good always beats evil” is one too. “Once upon a time . . . ” stories have themes too, except they are more one-dimensional. For example,... ...
A theme within this novel is the loss of innocence. The existence of civilization allows man to remain innocent, therefore when the characters lost their innocence, the civilization was gone or corrupt. One example of the loss of innocence would be when Jack was unable to stab the pig during the hunt. At that moment, he lost his innocence which enabled him to kill without a recollection of civilization. Another example of the loss of innocence was when Roger was throwing stones and rocks at the other children below him. Roger was unable to actually hit them purposely because he still had his innocence, but this moment was the beginning of his inability of understanding human nature.

In the first grade, his (Jones son) friends started climbing a tree at school. But he was afraid: of falling, of the centipedes crawling on the trunk, of the sharp branches, of his friends’ derision. I took my cue from his own fantasies and read him old Tarzan comics, rich in combat and bright with flashing knives. For two weeks he lived in them. Then he put them aside. And climbed the tree.

The theme of this story is actually stated in the story if it is read carefully and Crane reinforces it innumerable times. The theme of the story is man’s role in nature and is related to the reader through the use of color imagery, cynicism, human brotherhood, and the terrible beauty and savagery of nature. The story presents the idea that every human faces a voyage throughout life and must transition from ignorance to comprehension of mankind’s place in the universe and among other humans.
In 1865, an Augustinian Monk named Gregor Mendel discovered that individual traits of organisms are determined by genes inherited from parents. Based on the parent’s recessive or dominant genes, the offspring may resemble one of the parents. Eye color, skin tone, hair color, height—everything is based on genes, nothing is left up to chance. The offspring may inherit more of one parent’s genes based on the dominance of genes; and in result the child will look more like the one parent. Sometimes, parent’s genes assemble and the resulting child looks like neither parent. Genes not only determine physical traits, but also how the child is constructed. Some genes are more susceptible to defects or disease, impacting the future of the child. Along with genes, parents share their characteristics and mannerisms with their children simply because of interactions. Regardless of how much the children dread it, everyone is to some degree, like their parents.
