Society: “The community of people living in a particular country or region and having shared customs, laws, and organizations.” Civilized: “easy to manage or control; well organized or ordered.” Laws, manage, control. Upon examination, both words are found to share an underlying message of conformity. In Ken Kesey’s novel, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, questions are raised about where we are as a society, where we are going, and what it truly means to be civilized.
