Man's inhumanity to his fellow man. The statement that best explains the cultural relevance of this idea at the time when "Lord of the Flies", by William Golding, was published is D. People easily and painfully recalled the terrible events of World War II. The book was written in the early 1950s, and published in 1954, only nine years after the end of WW II. Golding himself had fought in WW II, and he could recall the horrors of WW II.
