The Social Contract

Humans, as advanced as we are today, can never agree on a single topic. Everyone has an idea of what is “right” and what is “wrong” and this ‘quarrel’ has been going on for ages, from the begging of mankind. As Roussaeau says in the social contract, politics are not a part of human nature, which means at some point in time, we put aside our basic instincts and united to come up with a way where we could all live together and benefit from it, and this is where the problem comes in. We can’t decide on one single for a social system to suit everyone’s needs and I don’t think it will ever be possible to. Someone or a group of people are always going to want something that is different than what the system they are living in now has to offer. Rousseau brings up the topic, for instance, of possession. What is yours is yours. Not everyone might agree on that, and that’s what this picture depicts.  Though we might have created politics of off agreement, I don’t think we shall ever been, as a human race, in complete agreement with one another.
