Examples of The Social Contract in the following topics:
-
- There are different conceptions of liberty, which articulate the relationship of individuals to society in varying ways, including some which relate to life under a "social contract" or to existence in a "state of nature," and some which see the active exercise of freedom and rights as essential to liberty.
- The concept of liberty plays a very important role in social contract theory, particularly in its discussion of sovereignty and natural rights.
- Within the context of social liberty, the British philosopher John Stuart Mill, in his work On Liberty, sought to define the "nature and limits of the power which can be legitimately exercised by society over the individual."
- The prevailing question thus becomes "how to make the fitting adjustment between individual independence and social control. "
- In addition, under the social contract, the people could instigate a revolution against the government when it acted against the interests of citizens, and replace it with one that would serve the interests of citizens.
-
- At the time, natural rights developed as part of the social contract theory that addressed the questions of the origin of society and the legitimacy of the authority of the state over the individual.
- The question of the relation between natural and legal rights, therefore, is often an aspect of social contract theory.
- Such fundamental rights could not be surrendered in the social contract.
- Some social contract theorists reasoned, however, that in the natural state only the strongest could benefit from their rights.
- Thomas Hobbes' 1651 book Leviathan established social contract theory, the foundation of most later Western political philosophy.
-
- The agreement may be influenced by social institutions as well as the preferences and values of the individuals.
- The form of that contract is influenced by commonly held social values and laws of a society.
- Markets may facilitate voluntary exchange and constrain the range of choices of each individual to the contract at the same time.
- The market provides the structure that allows two parties to negotiate and enter a contract.
- The market also uses the willingness of each person involved in the contract to constrain the alternatives open to the other.
-
- But government obtains the money used for his salary via the power of the sword.
- True, social contract theorists have argued that government is a voluntary association, as if it were a voluntary association, or ought to be a voluntary association.
- Social contract theory has been influential in America ever since the "Mayflower Compact".
- However, contract theorists have always foundered on the fact that not everybody subject to a government consents, or has consented, to be governed by it.
- A contract, like any other voluntary association, requires mutual consent of all the parties, not just a majority of them.
-
- The primary purpose of a business is to maximize profits for its owners or stakeholders while maintaining corporate social responsibility.
- Contract theorists see the enterprise being run by employees and managers as a kind of representative democracy.
- This concept is called corporate social responsibility (CSR).
- Most contract theorists see the enterprise being run by employees and managers as a kind of representative democracy.
- However, stakeholder theorists take contract theory a step further, maintaining that people outside of the business enterprise ought to have a say in how the business operates.
-
- Muscle contractions are defined by changes in the length of the muscle during contraction.
- Several types of muscle contractions occur and are defined by the changes in the length of the muscle during contraction.
- For example, a voluntary eccentric contraction would be the controlled lowering of the heavy weight raised during the above concentric contraction.
- In contrast to isotonic contractions, isometric contractions generate force without changing the length of the muscle, common in the muscles of the hand and forearm responsible for grip.
- An overcoming contraction occurs when a muscle contraction is opposed by an immovable object, such as the contraction generated in the muscles when pushing against a wall.
-
- Socialism has a number of theoretical benefits, based on the idea of social equality and justice.
- Advantages of nationalization include: the ability of the state to direct investment in key industries, distribute state profits from nationalized industries for the overall national good, direct producers to social rather than market goals, and better control the industries both by and for the workers.
- On the spending side, a set of social policies typically provides free access to public services such as education, health care and child care.
- Unlike private insurance, governmental schemes are based on public statutes rather than contracts; therefore, contributions and benefits may change in time, and are based on solidarity among participants.
- In theory, based on public benefits, socialism has the greatest goal of common wealth;
-
- ATP is critical for muscle contractions because it breaks the myosin-actin cross-bridge, freeing the myosin for the next contraction.
- Muscles contract in a repeated pattern of binding and releasing between the two thin and thick strands of the sarcomere.
- The muscle contraction cycle is triggered by calcium ions binding to the protein complex troponin, exposing the active-binding sites on the actin.
- When the actin is pulled approximately 10 nm toward the M-line, the sarcomere shortens and the muscle contracts.
- The cross-bridge muscle contraction cycle, which is triggered by Ca2+ binding to the actin active site, is shown.
-
- You could sell your futures contract on the derivatives market if you no longer want the contract.
- As the date of the delivery approaches for a futures contract, the futures contract market price will converge to the spot price.
- A buyer never purchases a futures contract if the market price of the futures contract exceeds the spot price.
- Furthermore, a seller would never sell a futures contract, when the market price of the futures contract is lower than the spot price.
- On the other side of the contract, the bank benefits from this contract.
-
- Skeletal muscle contractions can be grouped based on the length and frequency of contraction.
- The time between the stimulus and the initiation of contraction is termed the latent period, which is followed by the contraction period.
- At peak contraction the muscle relaxes and returns to its resting position.
- The time between stimulation and contraction is termed the latent period.
- If the frequency of these contractions increases to the point where maximum tension is generated and no relaxation is observed then the contraction is termed a tetanus.
