Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

The intelligence and sophistication of society!. I don't know about his glasses specifically, but I know that the rest of the boys start ignoring what he says/does, disregarding him, until he's killed, which shows how, when allowed, people will start going wild and ignoring common sense, etc!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ralph and Piggy are products of social conditioning
piggy is Ralph's “lieutenant!.” A whiny, intellectual boy, Piggy's inventiveness frequently leads to innovation, such as the makeshift sundial that the boys use to tell time!. Piggy represents the scientific, rational side of civilization!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
