Social Contract Two: Revisiting Social Development

In: Social development issues: alternative approaches to global human needs, Band 43, Heft 1

Abstract

A perennial quest for justice is the road toward progress. Continued inequality and injustice have demeaned the ethos of our civilization. A broken society manifestly reminds us about the perils of a vanishing social contract (SC). It appears to be a romantic fallacy to achieve global wellbeing in the context of contemporary social development (SD). It is argued that the fissures of "social contract" warrant the examination of society's evolutionary trajectories of development.
