Assembly and Conch The Assembly is supposed to be used to help create laws and order. Ralph and the boys use the conch as a symbol of power and authority and to control who can talk during the Assembly. The rule works at first but as time goes on, the boys begin to abuse the Conch rule and speak out of turn. The abuse of laws and order shows the opening stages of the loss of the boy’s civility.

Stealing Piggy’s Specs The tribe decides that they need a way to create fire so they steal Piggy’s specs. The tribe does not think of asking Ralph’s group for fire like civilized people would, but instead turn to stealing.

Betrayal Sam and Eric are the last two boys to lose their civility. They are forced into the ways of the tribe, and they begin to take part in their antics.

This shows that almost all the boys now have no respect for others and their savage and inhumane lives are more focused on entertainment than survival.
