Parillo‚ in “Causes of Prejudice”‚ and Fallows in “The Invisible Poor” each help us to understand forces at work that help to perpetuate the myth even in the face of a contradictory reality. Parillo points to prejudice and the continuation of prejudice through the socialization process. Defining prejudice as “an

Initially‚ Ralph is described as "the fair boy" and Piggy is described as the "fat boy." "Fair" does refer to the lightness of his hair‚ but the word also means just‚ beautiful‚ and honest.

One could often hear politicians to be regarded as charismatic or charming. However‚ seldom‚ if ever‚ does one associate these adjectives with a political system. The lack of connection between the two words did not stop a great philosopher‚ Plato‚ to describe democracy exactly with one of these terms: “Democracy … is a charming form of government‚ full of variety and disorder; and dispersing a sort of equality to equals and unequals alike” (Plato 214).
