Sense Of Ownership

Owning a loved pet, or owning valuable memories that can never be forgotten, it proves that owning these artifacts and characteristics, brings out the unique personality traits of someone. Someone reminiscing their childhood memories can show the importance or value of having a childhood. Ownership can truly reveal crucial life lessons you may never learn with the absence of ownership. The skills you obtain become your identity, which shows how ownership and moral character associate with one another. Owning something does not specifically have to be a physical object, as long as you can control what it is. Once I obtain skills and knowledge, no one can diminish them from my ownership. Though the moment may fade, the memory is everlasting. Ownership is a critical building block to who are you and who you can eventually become in the

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.

American business man and former politician, Chris Chocola, told Times Magazine. “And I would argue that the second greatest force in the universe is ownership.” In today’s society, a person’s worth and value is generally based on how much he or she owns. Those in the higher social classes typically own more prestigious objects; such as large houses, nice cars, and the most expensive brands of clothing. While those who lie at the bottom of the social pyramid are stereotyped as living in beat up trailers, driving dinky cars, and wearing the same shirt more than twice a week. As humans, we are so quick to judge others solely based on what they own. We admire those who have more than us, and act better than those who have less than us. Ownership is directly correlated with one’s self identity and how he or she feels about the world. The objects a person owns can give him or her an elevated ego, change the way he or she handles different life situations, and help shape his or her personality in very specific ways.

My interest in this topic dates back in high school when I realized how much effect sense of belonging had on my education. During elementary school, things used to happen just like I wanted. Teachers, other pupils were quite friendly. In fact, school was the most exciting place I always wanted to be. I was always the best performing pupil in continuous assessment test and end of year’s exams. Things changed when I went to high school. Everyone was very busy with their work. Teachers and fellow were quite serious. I found that my grades were not as excellent as in elementary school. Nothing motivated me. My behavior worsened and at some point, I even wanted to drop out of school as I felt that I was completely out of place. I believe that

Jason Stevens is flown out to a farm in Texas to carry out the first gift that his grandfather had insisted upon. Jason’s first gift of work brought him to place where only his bare needs would be met. According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, Jason was directly reliant on some of those needs to make it through his month on the ranch. When Gus first brings Jason to the ranch he handles arguably the most important need for him, physiological need. According to the textbook, a physiological need is a “basic need for things such as food, water, and shelter that must be met in order for a person to survive (Jones and George, 2015, 306).” As soon as Jason arrives at the ranch Gus gives him a place to sleep and tells him what time breakfast

Desire drives our race, and desire is love. The desire to belong is a love. As humans, we love belonging and the sense of security it brings. The need to belong is the need to give, and receive attention to, and from, others. We all yearn for more, something outside of ourselves, the approval of others, the acceptance of others. This implies more than an acquittanced or familiarity. Belonging helps us to recognize ourselves and the world around us more clearly. For most, we are inevitably unable to find contentment within ourselves. Therefore, we shift our eyes to the world and people around us with the desire that they will fill the never satisfied void. While our lives are ever changing, being able to rely on people to not just hear,

Becoming proficient in a certain talent and having the knowledge to be able to create what’s on your mind come to real life and building up an idea define the word “ownership.” Obtaining possession over certain things isn’t limited to tangible objects; instead, it extends to the intangible. Having the sense of self and ownership really collides together as some may think not. I believe that having to own something is more than just an object but expands more to thoughts and ideas. As Sarte states that “ownership expands beyond objects” I agree that having to own something is more than just materialistic things, having the idea and working for it already answers the question; “What does it mean to own something?” With the sense of self it also

In present-day society, humans are judged by the items they own. Ownership is defined as the objects that can destroy character. People tend to judge others for the objects they do have and they do not have. I agree with Plato and his idea that objects are detrimental to a person's character. Because people choose to look at items that do not matter, it is affecting relationships, the way people see themselves, and how much people are willing to work when they want to achieve a goal.

During high school, photography was not only my strongest talent but my most beneficial. During the time I was shy and quiet. Being a photographer meant a lot to me because taking pictures makes me forget about my problems. With school going on and problems at home, I like to go out and take picture to distract myself and forget about those problems. I wanted to take my photography skills to another level. In Junior year, I pursued my curiosity of being in yearbook club. Because of the practice I had during my third year of high school, I felt that I could take some amazing pictures. But to do this I had to make a sacrifice, like practicing every day even when I did not have the time, but I was committed to learn something that I am passionate

This is a tragic story, but it is so well written, and maybe that's because of your attachment to the story, but this is excellent. I see no real issues so far, except maybe you might should add a bit more to add a sense of place. Maybe it's just how involved I was in the story, but I didn't understand that the sense of place was supposed to be on the hospital until thinking about it. I think heart rate and breast milk are spelled wrong, or they are highlighted as wrong when I check. You should try to use PaperRater to see how you could improve? Other than that, this was a captivating and hreatwrenching story that really informed me about a child disease that I had no idea even

In one of the most well-known masterpieces by Pink Floyd, “Hey You”, focused on one of the most important aspects of human life – the sense of belonging through human interaction. The lyric highlights Roger Waters’ skill as a brilliant lyricist and composer, who reaches out to his audience with the haunting melody and emotionally-charged lyric. Waters has touched many lives with this piece by explicitly emphasizing on the pain of desolation and disassociation. He constructs his dialogue based on a life of his former bandmate Syd Barrett, whose life was severely affected by heavy drugs use, social desolation, and ultimately developed into mental illness.

The ownership can lead to gaining of maturity and responsibility. Responsibility is not a skill one can learn without experiences. For example, owning a pet can develop your sense of character. Owning my dog helped me develop life lessons such as responsibility, compassion, and even bereavement. Being an owner, I had to ensure my dog would I eventually developed intangible skills that come with the ownership of what I possess that is tangible. As a pet owner, it provided me with a sense of responsibility. A pet is in the hands of its owner and relies on the owner for protection and care.

The big question of ownership has been debated throughout our history by many great thinkers such as Plato, Aristotle, and Jean-Paul Sartre, I think the best way to truly understand all of these philosophies is to merge all of their ideas together. Owning things, like Plato suggests can lead to greed but the hard work and effort needed to acquire and to gain ownership of these tangible and intangible items is what ultimately develops a positive sense of self identity. I believe ownership and knowledge of any certain skill or talent can be added to a sense of self identity, character identity, and an understanding to the importance of learning a skill.

Throughout history there have been many different beliefs about ownership. What does owning something mean? How does it affect you in regards to your identity? Different philosophers have expressed their beliefs concerning the relationship between ownership and identity. One interesting view about ownership that stands out from the rest is Jean-Paul Sartre’s. His theory is that ownership extends beyond physical material, like the other philosophers believe. Instead he states that ownership can be intangible things like skills or knowledge. Sartre suggest that having abilities means you own them, they are part of who you are, and therefore impact your identity. The abilities I own affect my sense of self or the kind of person I think or know I am. These include my ability to be loving, outgoing, and faithful.
