**Rousseau**

**Full Name**- Jean-Jacques Rousseau **Born**-June 28, 1712 **Died**-July 2, 1778 **Birthplace**-Geneva, Switzerland -Jean-Jacques Rousseau was a brilliant philosopher who composed many books expressing many of his ideas. -One of the works that Rousseau is most famous for was his idea of “The Social Contract.” -The Social Contract described the relationship between man and society. Rousseau claimed that people were corrupt and life was about competing with one another. Your place in the social scale was what was most important. The role you played was what made you important. -Rousseau believed that all citizens should observe a public religion that encourages good citizenship. -Rousseau argued that the goal of government should be to secure freedom, equality, and justice for all within the state, regardless of the will of the majority. -These philosophical beliefs on how men are corrupt and act on their own behalf can relate to today’s society due to the fact of one emotion felt by all humans; greed. -Rousseau’s ideas greatly influenced today’s society because many of the things he stated were correct in a certain way. He believed that methods of book learning were useless compared to experience as an educational source.
