A partnership is a mutual agreement where responsibilities are shared. In the active sense, it is an obligation to perform for society. In an passive sense, it is accountability to society for one's actions. Whether it be in terms of finance, health, or otherwise, our first and foremost goal is to obtain security, to be free from fear. Therefore, we must discuss t oday's resolution in the context of security.
Society is a partnership.
Partnerships are best described by the Latin phrase, quid pro quo, meaning something for something. An example of such a partnership is a company. Employees of this company who are irresponsible and do not perform their duties wi ll be fired, and those who are responsible and faithfully perform their duties, will be rewarded. The partnership between an individual and society also operates on the notion quid pro quo. If an individual contributes to the well being of a society, then society will contribute to the well being of that individual, and therefore will provide him or h er with security.
