The Social Contract

2  Followers

The Social Contract video collection from annual Writers' Workshops held in Washington, DC. The English philosopher John Locke, whose thinking helped inspire the American Revolution, said that society should be governed by an understood set of values he termed the social contract. Under the social contract, governments have obligations to their citizens, and citizens have responsibilities to society. Most public issues are basically moral and ethical ones. What is the right thing to do? How do we decide what we think is right? When rights collide, which ones take precedence? The concept of the social contract helps us sort out the difficult issues confronting American society today and helps us find balance. Each quarter The Social Contract journal examined trends, events, and ideas that have an impact on America's delicate social fabric. This journal addresses the following key topics: - Human Population issues, including absolute size, rate of growth, and distribution. Do cherished American ideals prosper or suffer through further population growth? - Immigration issues. In order to best facilitate meeting the highest goals of the American people, (1) how many immigrants should we admit? (2) who should be admitted? And (3) how can we humanely enforce the rules? - Language, assimilation, culture, and national unity considerations. What shared values are necessary to the maintenance of our social contract? - The balance of individual rights with civic responsibilities. Since the previous issues are so often framed in terms of rights, what are the balancing obligations? - Other nations' efforts at creating and guarding their own social contracts. What practical insights can be gained from observing the failures and successes in nation-building by other societies?

Christian Nations Contra Bashan

2  Followers

Christian Nations: Contra Bashan is a Christian podcast centered around Church and Classical History, Political Philosophy with a specific emphasis on Metaphysics. We will overtime provide HQ audiobook versions of primary sources. There are two basic formats. Format A: Organized, formal discussions with a cohost on specific topics and focus. Format B: Informal discussion with specific topics, but with less focus. Informal talks are open to the public. Some of these are edits of Twitter spaces that I host. Corresponding visuals will not be 'airtight' for lack of time. But I hope they will enhance the viewers enjoyment. Part of the point of this podcast is to look into history for application reasons, not simply for interest. We'll be weaving together Christian Ethics, Politics, & metaphysics into holistic worldview. (Sorry for term. I don't think there's a better one.)

The National Contradiction

Every nation tells a story — but between the symbols and the silence lies contradiction. This channel explores the uneasy truths, forgotten legacies, and political paradoxes that shape modern national identities. Through sharp analysis, historical inquiry, and critical reflection, we expose the tensions between what nations claim to be and what their histories reveal. From state propaganda to inherited myths, we ask the uncomfortable questions—because understanding begins where denial ends. For those who seek clarity in complexity, and truth in the shadows of power.
