Social Contract

Time to write up your social contract! I want you to explain your idea of the correct American social contract as pertaining to the American welfare system. This is an ideological document in which you will need to express the following items: A. What kind of creatures are human beings and why should they live under a government of any kind? (10 pts) B. If humans are going to live under a government, what is the best sort of “contract” that we should engage in between ruler and ruled? Or put another way, what sorts of duties/rights do the government and people owe each other? (15 pts) C. What rights should citizens enjoy, and what duties should they shoulder, in terms of their employment? Try to consider how we deal with different work statuses (permanently unemployed, temporarily unemployed, underemployed, self-employed, between jobs, etc). (15 pts) Note: This is not an assignment asking you what kind of social contract that we do have. I’m asking what kind of social contract do you wish that we would have in relation to work (employment and unemployment)? Very different question. So don’t get into explaining Constitutional history to me. You’re allowed to start completely from scratch. What sort of social work arrangement is best for human beings living in a diverse society? Facts, expert authorities, and logically reasoning from premise to conclusion in a consistent manner will all be helpful in making your point. You will need to complete this assignment in less than one single-spaced page or roughly 500 words. I will not set a minimum but rest assured that a 2-paragraph answer will not be sufficient to effectively complete the assignment.
