Living Ethically Through a Social Contract

The framework of what society people live in depends on how they implement their social contract. Some people usually break social contracts by bribery and fraud. However, in society, as long as people continue to live with them, people usually have to live according to the social contracts of people around them (Smith, 2011, p. 4). For example, in ancient Greece the only way to think that most people could get used to differentiating the outcome of their actions was through reasoning.

In order to properly deal with existing ethical and other potential problems, BATA has to analyze their decisions and actions through social contract theory (SCT). Social contract theory includes a broad theory to explain how people voluntarily become part of rights to form a nation whose main purpose is to secure social order I will. Everyone has their own rights, you can freely transfer some of their rights to a higher level government, usually the government, to prevent confusion and maintain social order (Crane & Matten, 2007).

Social Contract Theory Social Contract Theory of Ethics suggests that you consider moral thinking as a rule to materialize a social life of a series of rational people. Therefore, when making an ethical decision, you will ask yourself, "Which rational and unbiased people agree with which rule?" Then we will follow these rules regardless of whether you will benefit in certain circumstances. Criticism against this theory points out that the agreement proposed by social contract theory is completely fictitious. Why do you think you are bound by the agreement that you never happened?

According to social contract theory, people live together in society according to agreements establishing rules of moral and political behavior. Some people think that if we live according to a social contract we can not live morally through our own choices. Over the centuries philosophers tried to describe ideal social contracts as early as Socrates and explained how existing social contracts evolved. Philosopher Stewart Rechels believes that morality is a set of rules for reasonable people to accept actions.
