I wrote up a long response to this...but I opted to destroy it for reasons that largely lie with the region. Perhaps, you'd care to read Thomas Hobbes' "Leviathan" and couple it with the Social Contract...as well as...some existential theory from Nietzsche and Sartre (particularly taking into account personal freedom, accountability, and solitude)...maybe you'll come out with something completely different than I wrote, but probably not. I just opt not to post it. It's probably better that way.
