Social Contract Theory is an agreement between the government and the governed defining and restricting the rights and duties of each. Social contract theory defines that people live together in a community following a contract that builds moral and political rules of behavior.

 

EXPLANATION:  

Social contract theory, almost as old as philosophy itself, is the perspective that one's moral and/or political duties depend on agreements or contracts between them to shape the society in which they live. Socrates employs something similar to a social contract argument to describe to Crito why he had to remain in prison and receive a death sentence.

However, social contract theory was precisely related to modern moral and political theory and is passed its first full explanation and defense by Thomas Hobbes. After Hobbes, Jacques Rousseau and Jean- John Locke is the most famous supporter of this very influential theory, which has become one of the most leading theories in moral and political theory in modern Western history.

In the 20th century, moral and political theory recovered philosophical momentum as a result of John Rawls' version of Kantian social contract theory and was resulted by new analyses of the David Gauthier’s subject and other people. More recently, philosophers from various perspectives have presented new criticisms of social contract theory.

In specific, racist-conscious and feminist philosophers have debated that social contract theory is at least an imperfect picture of our moral and political lives, and may actually disguise some of how the agreement is itself parasitical in the conquest of classes of society.

Do you believe that Americans may be somewhat more ethnocentric than people in the other Western industrial nations? If so, why
Vikentia [17]

Answer& Explanation : I don't believe Americans are ethnocentric than people in the other Western industrial nations. I think most liberated nations tend to measure other people's culture by using their own cultures as the basement of those judgements. America may seem to be more ethnocentric than others only because it is one culture that is always on the spotlight and has been popularized by media and even by people from other nations who adopt certain behavior from Americans. The fact that America is more on the lime light make their views seem more dominant and because they are more expressive when compared to other Western cultures otherwise most western and even some part of Eastern cultures are ethnocentric the difference is they are not on the spot light for everyone to know how they feel.

What did C. Wright Mills mean when he used the phrase ""the sociological imagination?"" Think of some event in the world or in y
sattari [20]

Sociological imagination, above all, requires us to think outside the familiar routines of our daily lives in order to observe them in a renewed way, free from the judgments of value and the influence of common sense. Giddens in his book Sociology uses the example of coffee, but here we can use a series of other examples to demonstrate how "sociological imagination" works. Using coffee as an example, Giddens points out that coffee has symbolic value as part of our daily social activities; we can then use beer as an example, although not very happy, usually at the end of the working day or on weekends, men and women get together to “have a beer to relax” using the drink as a subterfuge, but in this apparently simple act , harmless, commonplace, there are a number of issues, such as alcoholism, dry law, “not knowing how to stop”, the production of this drink, consumption by minors, usually started at home, its history, advertising etc.

Another example is tea, which we could say, from a sociological perspective on the consumption of this drink, of this ritual usually associated with the British, punctuality and women's meetings (baby shower, bridal shower)
