There are four major issues which I would like to place on the table, two of which have not been mentioned in the discussion yet. I believe they are essential if we are to move from a culture of violence which has defined this past 20th century, to a culture of peace which must define the new century or there will be no centuries to follow. These chains prevent a culture of peace and development, and the continued social evolution of the human species. The new social contract for the 21st century must have at its core the principle of gender equality. Our new social contract will cure Rousseau's lack of vision in this regard.
Women are the glue that hold societies together.
Without women at every negotiating table where the fate of humanity is at stake, there can be no sustainable peace agreements. Jean Jacques Rousseau is a huge disappointment when it comes to women. Our new social contract, which is essential to promote a culture of peace, will include women as political actors, women as economic actors and women as peacemakers. You need not fear, women will still be daughters, sisters, girlfriends, wives, mothers and lovers. Like men, we cn do both.
