The social contract is a theory developed during the Enlighment period, specially by the philosopher  Rousseau regarding the legitimacy of those who exercise power over others.

At that time, this concept arose against absolut monarchies and the extended belief about kings who obtained their power directly from God. Alternatively, the social contract theory proposed that power lied in the people and could be granted by them to a ruler. Hence, legitimate goverments are appointed by citizens and a sort of "contract" is established between the rulers and the governed ones.

A society is constructed by people through agreements, instead of just naturally granted by God. There has been a rupture with people blindly beliving in religious dogmas, substituted by critical behaviours directed by the Reason and scientific thinking.

Good deed is never lost? Explain

I think it means any good deed you do, no matter how small or big, will always matter and be appreciated somehow. You also might think it doesn’t matter now, but maybe doing a small favor helped you immensely now because that person returned it by doing a huge favor for you.

Research has found that _____ temporarily weakens after an exertion, replenishes with rest, and becomes stronger with exercise.
miv72 [106K]
It has been reported in a research by Roy Baumeister and Julie Exline that self-control temporarily weakens after exertion, replenishes with rest, and becomes stronger with exercise. 

Self-control is an ability to subdue impulses or to regulations one's emotions, thoughts, and actions in order to fulfill specific (longer-term) goals, especially when faced with temptations and impulses. This enables a person to plan, evaluate alternative actions instead of getting carried away by impulses, and prevents him/her from behaving in a way that he/she might regret later on. Willpower is the ability to exert self-control.

Nimfa-mama [501]

In the following, you will find the excerpts from "Elizabeth Bishop's" The fish in that very situation:


"I caught a tremendous fish, and held him beside the boat, half out of water, with my hook, fast in a corner of his mouth. He didn’t fight. He hadn’t fought at all. He hung a grunting weight, battered and venerable and homely. Here and there his brown skin hung in strips like ancient wallpaper,"
