In the novel Lord of the Flies, how is Piggy connected to the adult world?

There are many aspects of Piggy's personality and beliefs that connect him to the "adult world" in the novel Lord of the Flies.

The "adult world" refers to civilized society where rules and regulations are enforced, organizations and structures are established, and the majority of individuals peacefully interact with one another. Among the boys on the island, Piggy is the biggest supporter of civilized society. He values an organized system of government, advocates for individual rights, and opposes tyranny and primitive behavior. Piggy's primary connection to the "adult world" stems from the fact that in order for him to survive, he must live in a civilized society. Piggy is physically weak, overweight, nearly blind, and suffers from asthma. Without laws and restrictions, Piggy is at the mercy of the more physically fit boys on the island. Piggy also values structure and organization, which is why he insists on listing each child's name, voting for a chief, and prioritizing tasks.

Similar to many "First World" nations, Piggy supports democracy. He believes that each boy, even the littluns, should have a chance to voice their opinions during assemblies. Rules, laws, and restrictions are a significant part of the "adult world." Piggy values rules throughout the novel and insists that each boy abides by them. He is continually arguing with Jack over the rules and telling him not to talk while someone is holding the conch. When the boys are discussing the possibility of a beast on the island, Piggy suggests that they view the problem scientifically. He attempts the solve the problem rationally and pragmatically, much like individuals in the "adult world" would try to do. Piggy opposes Jack's barbaric, savage way of life throughout the entire novel until he is brutally murdered.
