Summary/Abstract: In the contemporary parlance, in our references to the social life, to our social competences or to our social priorities, it is important to realize that the society as we know it today is the result of many years of interactions, regardless if such interactions were peaceful or violent. The society is still changing and becoming something else every day. We are responsible for that, and we know it. Nevertheless, we are unable to curtail change because social movement is infinite. Therefore, this paper surveys several basic perspectives offered by the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle, and by the French philosopher, J. J. Rousseau.
