Topic: how society should be organized in order to best facilitate justice, peace, and the expression of natural human impulses

Order Description Using John Locke's "Second Treatise on Government" and Jean Jacques Rousseau's "Discourse on the Origins of Inequality", compare and contrast their positions with the question of the natural state of man, and how society should be organized in order to best facilitate justice, peace, and the expression of natural human impulses. Take a stand yourself on the issue. How do you think a society should be constructed? Is society in fact an unnatural force that causes violence by repressing – perhaps through the notion of property, as Rousseau suggests – natural human instincts? Or is society – and, indeed property, as John Locke suggests – something helps us build toward a more coherent justice? What role does society, and for that matter government, play in human lives? What role should it play? Is contemporary society, and so as a result contemporary government, a poisonous corruption of our natural hierarchy? Or is our society a natural development out of our impulse to seek the approbation of others? How should society be ordered in order to bring about the best possible situation for humanity? What might an ideal society look like? • Address the questions posed above in a thorough and thoughtful way. • Contain a clear, coherent thesis statement.
