Personal Enlightenment Philosophy I would like to know your opinion

Using Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseaus ideas on the social contract/state of nature if you were to write your own state of nature about the world what would it be (1paragraph), what would your social contract/role of the government be? Why should people join the social contract? (1 paragraph), and what would be the rights of the governed?(1 paragraph) I would like to know your opinion if you were to write your own philosophy. I already did this for school, but I am interested In knowing what you would say.

Right. I really liked your opinion. Could you please explain more about your philosophy on the state of nature? I'm still alittle confused on what your opinion is rather then what the other philosophers think.

I wrote: One could argue that humanity exists in ALL of these states of nature, today. 
Perhaps a better statement would be that, in my opinion, today's state of nature is really a state of entitlement.  I want this, I want that.  Give it to me, because I deserve t.  Hmmm...I'll have to think more about that.
Thanks again!
