I really dont agree with the whole conclusion of Lord Of The Flies, meh book.
Check out this article about when essentially a real life version of Lord Of The Flies happened and the kids did the exact opposite thing the kids do in Lord Of The Flies.

Yeah, there have been multiple controlled experiments to this effect, too.
Humans (and kids in particular) just don't behave the way the author thinks.
I mean maybe if you got the exact right kind of kids together in just the right conditions it could happen, but ultimately that would speak to the extreme conditions of the experiment not some fundamental evil and violence inherent to humans.
