Ownership

Anywhere in the world, someone acquires something, whether it be money, a car, or even an idea. We can “own” many intangible and tangible items in life, but how does ownership relate to a sense and development of self? This question has been constantly answered for centuries through intelligent people like Plato, Aristotle, and Jean-Paul Sartre. However, the question has received no agreeable answer. In the end, people will agree that there is a strong and positive relationship between ownership and a sense of self because the things you own will define and develop who you are positively by exhibiting what you like, what you can and cannot do, and in the end, characterizes you, as long as you use the things you own properly.

Ever since I was a young child, my parents always told me to try my best in school, they always told me this for the reason that they never had the opportunity to have a good job because they never finished school. This event is shaping me to care a lot regarding my education. In addition to that, another event that has shaped me to become the person I am today is that since my parents don’t have good paying jobs they have to work hard to take care of me and my siblings this event has caused me to become a hard working person and to seize all opportunities to live a good life because I don’t want to struggle like my parents.

Twentieth-century philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre proposes that ownership extends beyond tangible objects; In Jean-Paul's view, becoming proficient in some skill and knowing something means that we "own" it. According to Sartre, I "own" the sport soccer because I chose to develop my skills as a soccer player, and now I play competitive travel soccer because I am skilled enough to compete with the other girls. I don't physically own this sport the way most people legally define ownership. I own soccer because I made it a part of me, it

My parents always encouraged my siblings and I that we were capable of doing anything that we set our minds to. It didn’t matter where or what we wanted to do; all that mattered was if we had the passion to do it and succeed. From that, I was always set on becoming a doctor. It didn’t matter what kind; I just knew I wanted to help people. From a young age, I knew that my parents worked hard so that my siblings and I might have a better life than my parents. Both of my parents came from Vietnam with little to nothing. They both got jobs at Excel before they were twenty, and, after ten years, they met each other and got married. They and bought a motel and restaurant, and managed that for another ten years. They were

What does it mean to own something? An individual may own something that has more significance to the item than meets the eye. This subject has encouraged prominent thinkers to learn more about the idea. This has entered a very fascinating way of thinking that has even perplexed the astounding minds of Plato, Aristotle, and Jean-Paul Sartre. This is why owning something has more significance than may be thought, tangible goods are detrimental to a person's character, ownership of tangible goods helps to develop moral character, and ownership extends beyond objects to include intangible things as well.

If you are listening to Plato then to own something is detrimental to your character due to the idealistic feeling of ones self. By this he

Ownership in conjunction with stewardship is a reflection of the character of Jehovah. Comparatively, so is productivity. According to Grudem, he states that," producing goods and services is fundamentally good and provides many opportunities for glorying God" (p. 26). Initially, the Lord gave Adam rule over the earth, and instructed him to increase the resources that were available to him. Furthermore, prior to the famine that spread throughout Egypt and Canaan, Joseph, given authority by Pharaoh, stored up food during the years of abundance, so the nations would have the means during perilous times (Genesis 41:30, KJV). Imagine, what would have happened during the time of scarcity, if the people wasted their possessions during of time

New technology has made people obsessed with owning things. From the newest apple watch, Galaxy phone, or car, people are obsessed with getting the newest “thing”. Owning these things makes people seem “cool” and accepted by society, which makes them have a higher sense of self. Overall, society has an impact on what people want to own. For example, there’s a TV commercial by Ford Motor Company that shows a group of women two pictures of a man. The first picture shows him in next to a hatchback car and the second picture shows the exact same man next to a truck. They then ask the women which one is “sexier”,

Ownership can be viewed in multiple ways. Many people view ownership in both positive and negative ways. Others don’t necessarily know what ownership means to them. What does it really mean to own something? Ownership means the right of possessing something. Sense of self is also something integrated with ownership. A person can own much more than a tangible object, but also having knowledge, skills, and ideas.

Responsibility in utilizing personal property, as a Christian should following a moderate approach that considers ways that are holy, just, and loving, explains Hill (2008). Hill defines “personal property involves the assumption of, development, and ownership of a natural resources” (2008, p.233). The difficulty in dealing with ethics toward property is the immaturely nature in which modern property is becoming. As explained by Hill, primeval property was physical however property as defined in today’s culture is intangible (2008). Addressing the spiritual and moral dilemmas that property brings can be difficult.

When you have a sense of “owning” an intangible skill it can be important towards a strong development with creating a sense of your self identity. For me, learning and trying to master a skill, like photography, was such a great thing for me because it’s not like an object that I can lose and it is now a new skill that I think I own and feel confident in. Learning this skill was beneficial to my development on learning and creating my identity because it made me realize who I really am. What I have learned made me have a sense of “ownership” over this skill and it helped me develop and discover my sense of self.

    The first way to look at it is to go out to the store and buy something. When you buy something that is now yours, you own it. Nobody can take that away from you without a struggle or consequence. This is the one thing everyone thinks that owning something means, because in this society we focus more on the material part of things rather than thinking about what else owning something means. Being able to touch, move and carry something that you can call ours is the material type of things. We look at who has the best care's, biggest houses, and who has the most expensive clothing. But is that really what owning something means? Many people do sadly, think so, they worry about what they “own” more than what they could truly own.

The less you have to rely on external sources of funding, the more ownership of your company you retain. For example, if you fund an expansion or acquisition with venture capital, the investor might want part ownership of the company, rather than simply a cut of the profits, including a say in management. If you use an asset-based lender, that lender owns those assets if you default on your debt. As part of an agreement not to seize the assets and shut down your company, the lender might require part of your business in return. The more stock you sell to finance operations, the less you own of your company.

From physical aspects of ownership and internal aspects of ownership, it can direct how someone's life is lived. Everyone has an impact on others and themselves. One person isn't supposed to define everyone other human being in the world. We all have flaws and we all have unique talents. These things are what make us out to be extraordinary. Being able to be comfortable with yourself and being able to have respect for others is what gets people far in life. Ownership will define what you care about, and not what others pick you out to be. The only true person that matters is

For sole proprietorship, the firm has a single owner who runs the firm, the goal and vision is clear because the goal of the firm is what the owner desires. In contrast, problems tend to arise when it comes to organizational form of business. A large public organization has hundreds of thousands of shareholders in the firm who owes the business. And each of them will have different preference to wealth, risk tolerance, investment decisions, strategy and so on. They cannot possibly manage or have control over the business directly, therefore a separation of ownership and control is needed. A managing team will run the corporation and this will easily lead to conflicts between the interest of the management and the shareholders. In this
