We are all active participants in what's known as The Social Contract. It's a predetermined set of rules and ideals that everyone promises to live by and uphold. Step outside the constraints of the contract or break a rule and you go to jail.
At least, that's how it's supposed to work. But the truth of the matter is that if you have money or celebrity status, you can manage to get away with a lot. Take for instance Lori Loughlin's return to acting after the recent College Admissions Scandal and see what I mean.
