The desire for power is born in every human being and it is the struggle for power that becomes fundamental in everyday life. The novel Lord of the Flies is about a group of kids stranded on an island. They try to create order using democracy, but the situation turns into chaos as the kids fight among themselves. First, history shows that leaders must be aware of the needs and values ​​of their community. Second, it shows that good leaders are respectful. Finally, the theme is evident in how bad leaders can be disrespectful. Furthermore, there are several real, current and historical events that connect to these characteristics. As exemplified in William Golding's Lord of the Flies, the theme of power struggle is explored through the characteristics of bad leaders being disrespectful, good leaders being respectful, and that a leader must be aware of the needs and values ​​of his community . These topics will be further connected to current events involving the power struggle, such as Hitler's blaming of the Jews, President Obama's consideration of the Ukraine crisis, and how Kim Jong II starved his own people. The power struggle is illustrated through how Ralph is a leader who is aware of the needs and values ​​of his community whereby he chooses fire as the most important thing, explores the cave alone and is also evident in the acts of Adolf Hitler . The moment Ralph realizes that fire is the most important element of the island, he re-establishes its meaning for the group: “He stuck out his arm. "Look at us!" How many are we? Yet we cannot make the fire continue to produce smoke. Don't you understand? Don't you see that we should - we should die before we let the fire go out... middle of paper... from Jack, show respect for the little ones, and like Obama says don't attack Ukraine. Leaders must be aware of the needs and values ​​of their community, this is explored when Ralph designates fire as the most important thing, how he decides to explore the cave alone and how Hitler blames the Jews. The power struggle is evident throughout the novel and in current and historical events. Ultimately, the power struggle exists in the daily lives of all human beings, and it is what they strive to achieve the most. Works Cited Golding, William. Lord of the Flies.
