Author: Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1762)
Introduction
His books were a blue print on how Rousseau wanted to know the reasons of why the people gave up their natural liberty over the state of nature. How the political standpoint became such an impact in people’s lives. One of the things he did state in his book that stuck out to me was that, “Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains.” My thoughts on what he meant by this quote was that the people were basically slaves to their own community and obeying every law in which was presented to them.

The openness of emotions when interacting with people you love and friendships could open innovative ways of communication. Peeling back the onions of people eyes to show them the ways of how beautiful nature is. His books are quite passive aggressive in a sense with endless boundaries of knowledge. “The book is divided into five parts, four of which deal with Emile’s education in the stages of infancy, childhood, boyhood and youth respectively. The fifth part deals with the training of the girl who is to become his wife. Thus, through an imaginary student, Emile, Rousseau projects how a child should be” (Maheshwari,
