For my paper I am going to focus on the differences between a Lockean labour theory of property and what I will refer to as a force theory of property. I will attempt to show that not only does a Lockean labour theory have significant problems when applied to cases that a force view of property does not have but also that even if you want to defend various liberal principles in the natural rights tradition you can also do so using a force theory of property.

However, I do not think I completely understood what it means to compromise or be pragmatic

The most significant bond of life is between the infant and primary caregiver.
