Answer:
This is an idea that virtually defines the Discourse. It is summed up in the quote from Aristotle that Rousseau uses to preface his work: "What is natural has to be investigated not in beings that are depraved, but in those that are good according to nature." Aristotle's point is that because what is "natural" is also sets a standard for people to follow, it is vital to look at the correct "nature." Rousseau argues that we need to investigate natural man in the correct way because the idea of nature is used to justify harmful and depraved inequality. The best way to undermine modern inequality is to reveal that it is artificial and "unnatural."
The domination of one person by another reduces that person's freedom to act. Property and laws also affect the citizen's freedom, but those who agree to them generally believe that they are a reasonable restraint on their liberty. In practice, however, real freedom within society is impossible because inequality and property lead inevitably to domination. Only in the state of nature, or in a radically different type of society, could real freedom exist. This is an insight that Marx picked up in the Communist Manifesto.

The contribution of language towards changing the savage man to the civilized man
- It is obvious from what has been discussed so far that man has an inherent social nature. One of his core traits is his propensity to band together with his peers for either lower or higher aims. Men were driven to create language in order to communicate with one another and to comprehend and be understood by their fellows.
- The primary motivation behind language creation was the desire for communication. The old adage "Need is the mother of innovation" has never been better shown than in the study of language, as the faculty of speaking was initially used to meet the needs of daily living. Language, according to Charles Winick, is "a system of arbitrary verbal symbols.
- Language is the result of many causes, not just one. In reality, it is a product of society, a human construct, and the unwitting creation of an entire neighbourhood. It was created in response to the demands of a developing society and, as Professor Whitney has noted, is as much an institution as a collection of unwritten laws. "The linguists are not in a position to draw any conjectures as to the exact point in human history at which the seeds of speech should have emerged, and the time which they should have occupied in the subsequent phases of their development. All agree that the procedure was drawn out.
- Language development is merely a byproduct of social interaction and cultural development. It is just as false to believe that at some point, men are creating and storing expressions for their own use and the use of their descendants as it is to believe that at some point, succession will find expression. Every time period only offers what it has a need for. There has never been a moment when language production has been more actively taking place than now. It varies in tempo and kind depending on the conditions and habits of the speaking group, but it never quits.
