What do you think William Golding is trying to teach people by writing a novel about the evils of humans and the way they affect society?

Why does Piggy NEED the conch?
Without rules and order, people like Piggy get squashed (literally). With the conch, everyone gets a fair chance. If he's holding the conch, it doesn't matter if he's fat and unathletic. His voice matters just as much as anyone else's. That's probably why he defends it until his death.
