The social contract

The issue that Jean Jacques Rousseau emphasized is reflected in the Lebanese society nowadays. This picture reflects the Lebanese political chaos and the current social movements. In which the Lebanese people finally had the courage to stand up for their minimal human rights as for their civil rights.

The main idea of the text is that politicians , considering themselves “masters”, are enslaving people in order to supply them with their simplest human rights.Assuring his opinion Rousseau said :"Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains" .Gradually, he argued in his thesis that natural freedom differ from the restricting civil freedom. I point that I agree with the writer’s opinion that people are being constrained and forced to obey without achieving in return their demands , and that they are being convinced by their masters to follow them blindly in order to  do what is so-called "the best"for their countries. 

So by conclusion, the picture above sums up a resolution for the writer’s issue, by showing that people must free themselves from slavery and fight for their human rights , by breaking up  the chains they are being constrained with.
