The ERA defines ‘contract of employment’ as “a contract of service or apprenticeship‚ whether express or implied‚ and (if expressed) orally or in writing.

Locke and Hobbes disagree almost entirely on everything. I would say that Locke thinks of human nature as essentially good while Hobbes views it as essentially evil. Furthermore‚ for Hobbes people leave a state of nature for security‚ as they are driven by year. For Locke‚ however‚ the driving force is possessions and material wealth: we will live better if we form a society instead of living separately in a state of nature. I think their philosophy is different because of they background and also

Describing morality is rather simple‚ but what’s left to question is what determines the rightness or goodness of a thing or action. Using two ethical theories‚ Social Construct Theory and Kantian Theory I propose the answer to this question; the morality of an action is determined by agreements and the “categorical imperative”. Social Contract Theory is based on the idea that actions are morally right if they are made under an agreement. This agreement doesn’t necessarily have to be communicated‚

Conflict Theory: Past‚ Present‚ and Future Social conflict theory was originated by Karl Marx sometime in the 1800s. There are a couple of reasons that are thought to lead to the inception of the theory. Society earlier on in our time works much like it does now. We have a social class system consisting of the have and have-nots. So because of this it creates a balance of power and conflict or struggle between different social classes. The first idea of why social conflict came into play is the

Social Constructivism is a theory of knowledge and the acquisition process involved (Serving History‚ 2010).

Piaget derived this theory by investigating the evolution of knowledge‚ though mainly scientific knowledge‚ by observing

One of the main key differences that separates control theories from learning theories although both are a subunit of social process theories‚ is that they have different assumptions of human nature that they based their theory on. For instance‚ in social control theories‚ the assumption is that humans are bad by nature; hence‚ humans need different types of social control that will regulate their behavior. If humans were left to pursue whatever they wanted without following any laws or norms they
