Philosophy Essay

The main topic of our study of philosophy last semester was the social contract. As a citizen of a state, you have a responsibility to uphold your side of the social contract. You should also be aware of the actions of the state in order to ensure that your rights are being protected.

Your essay will be an analysis of the social contract as it affects you personally. The essay should include four sections:

Introduction and thesis

Include analysis of Social Contract Theory

(i.e. compare and contrast, evaluate the different theories, etc.)

Analysis of the U.S. Social Contract Theory and Reality

Include where it is written and why that is a SC

Analyze your belief about the theory vs. reality of the SC

Analysis of how the U.S. Social Contract affects you personally

What are YOUR expectations and duties; how are you impacted?

Conclusion
