Answer:

Social contract theory, nearly as old as philosophy itself, is the view that persons’ moral and/or political obligations are dependent upon a contract or agreement among them to form the society in which they live. Socrates uses something quite like a social contract argument to explain to Crito why he must remain in prison and accept the death penalty. However, social contract theory is rightly associated with modern moral and political theory and is given its first full exposition and defense by Thomas Hobbes. After Hobbes, John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau are the best known proponents of this enormously influential theory, which has been one of the most dominant theories within moral and political theory throughout the history of the modern West. In the twentieth century, moral and political theory regained philosophical momentum as a result of John Rawls’ Kantian version of social contract theory, and was followed by new analyses of the subject by David Gauthier and others. More recently, philosophers from different perspectives have offered new criticisms of social contract theory. In particular, feminists and race-conscious philosophers have argued that social contract theory is at least an incomplete picture of our moral and political lives, and may in fact camouflage some of the ways in which the contract is itself parasitical upon the subjugations of classes of persons.

Drawing conclusions from too small of a sampling describes the behavioral characteristic of?

arlik [135]

'Drawing conclusions from too small of a sampling describes the behavioral characteristic of sampling bias.

Sampling bias occurs when surveys or studies collect information from small and restricted members of the intended population such that the sampled groups tend to be unrepresentative. In the medical field, this tendency is called the ascertainment bias.

This bias can interfere with the accurateness and reliability of the conclusions arrived at. For example, the American Literary Digest conducted opinion polling for the US Presidential elections of 1936. The candidate they predicted would win actually lost by a huge margin. It turns out they had sampled only their readers who were more likely to vote for their candidate.
