Lord of the Flies and Battle Royale

zoë has no overt power structure
the structure is about children having responsibility
children are to an extent free, in that they are responsible
this is a hard lession to learn
the problem is perhaps lord of the flies and battle royale
the question is about human nature
the answers are, I beleive, as various as people are various, 7 billion and counting
these days we seem to have a form of institutionalised irrasponsability so that individuals don't need to develop any
I beleive this is how we get into a mess
we dissasociate in so many ways
like the separation of family and work and leasure which we take for granted
