    In the story Our America, we’re trying to answer the question, are Tyrone and Johnny responsible for Eric Morse’s death? There is no right answer to this question since based on one's personal opinion and definition of responsibility.

This stand ties into one of the oldest debates in the history of psychology is the Nature vs Nurture which centers around whether a person's development is predisposed in his DNA, or a majority of it is influenced by early environment and development. The research of multiple psychologists and scientists, as well as the abundance of examples of children who have openly exhibited the cruelty Golding refers to, validate his claim. Golding argues…
