Social Contract

Citing your source on the blog, explain in a POST what you understand the essence of a contract to be – what's essential to it – and then posit you own "social contract." If people interact according to a certain set of rules (moral, philosophical, selfish, whatever), what do those rules look like. Strive for realism rather than idealism in your definition of a social contract – how does the world actually work and how can people be expected to behave?

A contract is an agreement between two or more parties for the doing or not doing of something specified. People usually use contracts when they first have one or more disagreements. If both parties do not want to make a treaty, then sometimes the law forces the parties to agree, therefore it is an enforced agreement. Usually, it is written and the agreements are very formal. Social contracts are when the people's moral and political obligations are dependent on a contract or agreement between them to form a society. The Social Contract Theory is rightly associated with modern moral and political theory. In the twentieth century, moral and political theory regained philosophical momentum because of John Rawls’ Kantian version of social contract theory. Some people believe that when men and women in a society follow a social contract, it is making them act like according to the way the government wants. The reason the leaders of every society create something that is similar to a social contract is to keep the common person safe and to protect the society itself from tearing itself apart.
