Are there any current situations in the world that relate to the novel? What are they, and how do they relate? Does the novel shed any light on how current situations could be resolved or "fixed"?
Currently, the world is mostly at peace, but some worldy conflicts cease to end. However, I do not know these, but what I'm about to say is a conflict in the world.
Just like a utopian society cannot be made, a "utopian person" cannot exist. Nobody's perfect. We all have conflicts in our lives, even me! I know that's hard to believe, but it's true. You do too. Just take a moment now and think what problems you have in your life before you continue reading.

Did you think about it?
Are you sure?
Okay. I believe you... this time.
Anyway, we all have problems in our life. These are actually conflicts, made by others, made by
you, and made by even some non-living things, like video games: "I HATE THIS GAME!! I ALWAYS DIE!!!" Sound familiar? If you played any video game you know how that feels. But all these conflicts created take the form of problems, which will try to be "utopian", but will fail. If tried to hard, you'll push you're problems in (a perfect person can't have problems, right?) and eventually, they'll build up so much that they will explode in a big fiery ball of chaotic recklessness. Do NOT try to be perfect. It's no use. You'll break down. System Error. Game Over. Continue? Yes/No. Back to the concept of video games. Even if you choose to "continue" you have to start a big chunk all over. The same goes in life.
Like I said, everyone has all these conflicts, and the only thing that can resolve these conflicts is a passive force, like the government. Yet even that passive force has problems, just like in the novel when the officer saved the boys, while the same time being in the middle of World War II. Ironic.

I think the reason why Golding put the setting as during the World War II was to emphasize human evilness. I agree with you that there is no 'utopian person.' Everyone has the positive and the negative sides, which create conflicts. Because everyone has different personalities, gender, age, and so on, people cannot agree to a same thing. If people were cloned, having the same minds and ideas, maybe it was possible to create an utopian community.
Oh yeah! This book was written during World war II!
Anyway, I totally agree with you that no body in this world is perfect. And most people have more negative sides that positive sides. These negative sides, may form conflicts. These conflicts can come in many forms, because they just can't lose!
To the boys, the island was like an utopia; no adults, nice beach, no rules.
They were positive in the begining, but soon fear creates conflict, and their eye of evilness opens up.
It was not possible to create a Utopian community, and I don't think the author was trying to describe an utopia in this book.
Your background, makes me feel cold. Good job, but go away Tanner! jkjk
