The document discusses the concepts of society and the human person. It explores how human beings are social by nature and driven to form relationships and communities. This led philosophers like Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau to theorize about how human societies form through social contracts. They imagined humans starting in a "natural state" without modern civilization, and how social organization develops. Key concepts discussed include Hobbes viewing the natural state as "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short", Locke's idea of "consent of the governed", and Rousseau's concept of the "general will". The document stresses that society is based around pursuing the common good.
