Service meaning community service
Thank You to any one that can help|||Well this sounds like homework... but it's very complex. On the one hand, Sartre is an extreme individualiston the other he is at the centre of the debate over civic virtue and democratic participation. The commonly-held view is that existentialism champions radical individualism and disparages community, social roles and civic participation.
You could look at the third world and the national health service, amongst other things.
The books he wrote on this include the Ethics of Engagement. It's interesting that he thought up his theories after WW2, but he is still a bit anti-semetic.
Sartrean ethics are thought of as formal, of emptiness and extreme subjectivism, but also authenticity is an important civic virtue, relevant to the social and political institutions of the modern world.|||Sadly, very few have in practice been inspired to community service by the writings of Sartre
