dc.description.abstract | This study is aiming at examining how social media can reveal engaging factors for a mutually beneficial exchange which could lead to a proactive social contract. To accomplish this hypothetical position a grounded theory analysis of Singapore's socio-political blogs and readership (blogosphere) was performed. Empathy has been discussed as the ability to see things from the other person's point of view, which will ensure more effective communications, understandings and practices. Social contract is the individual's surrender of certain freedoms to a higher authority, in exchange for the protection of natural rights. It is an exchange between two parties for the improvement of the existing status. The authors maintain that empathy is the engaging factor that would lead to a proactive social contract that consecutively would re-structure changes in the relationship between citizenry & governing bodies.
