Ownership

Who are you? Maybe a better queation would be, what makes you who you are? The relationship between ownership and the development of self, directly relate to one another. Tangible and intangible objects develop and define an individual’s character. Society is so consumed by the idea of “ownership”,that society itself defines people with the objects they own. Material items can seperate people and our society as a whole. People are always after the latest IPhone, tablet, or flat…

In psychology, ownership is the feeling that something is yours. People can feel ownership about a variety of things, material and immaterial in nature. Is there a way organizations can benefit from higher employee engagement, increased financial performance and lower turnover, by increasing feelings of ownership? In mid 1970s, the USA carried out the Employee Stock Ownership Plans. The thought behind this project was that if employees held some shares of the company, it would enhance their…

Orlando has plunged once again the country into mourning on June 12, and has brought some questions back on the table. Should personal gun ownership be legal? This issue has long been debated. While it is true that owning a firearm may to some extend be beneficial for people, it clearly raised some concerns as well. Proponents point out that personal gun ownership is a way to…

After hearing your passionate speech on gun ownership, I feel I am obliged to write to you in hope of expressing my alternative views and attitude towards the gun ownership. I suspect the authoritativeness of your interpretation upon the second amendment, and I think it has most incongruously given a false sense of belief to public. To my displeasure, which might have been shared with other Americans, I fervently disapprove your speech on providing the misleading fact about the trend of gun…

3) Does ownership culture necessarily require stock ownership by employees? There are so many different cultures and the ways people work is very different too. When talking about ownership culture and its incentives, stock ownership might mean a lot to employees in one country but nothing in another.

The social status of one’s family was determined by birth, and land ownership. Being "wealthy" was determined by how much land someone owned, contrary to how much money one possessed. Because with land, one could grown food, and people would have to pay to settle and populate it. Ownership of land is what separated Kings from Peasants, and Peasants from Lords (Nardo 14-15). Since the land all owned by the king, land ownership from then on out was simply who governed it. That’s why, when we reach…

Numerous people define ownership as materialistic, meanwhile others may define ownership as owning a skill or to own the kind of person they are. I believe ownership can be both materialistic and an emotional experience. A person’s sense of self contributes to the way they own something, like a new car or a new outfit without taking the material for granted. Someone’s sense of self can also affect the way they present themselves with traits and emotions. Ownership is something that can be shown…

The right of gun ownership has been a rhetorical controversy to the citizens in the U.S. One might favor it, others disagree with the idea. It’s like the conflict between Republican and Democrat, one support it and the other ban it. This topic has reflected in my research base on what I feel about gun ownership. My research proposal is, should we outlaw gun ownership or no, or neither in Arizona? The dependent variable of this research is the percentage of people in Tucson who agree or disagree…

American Football is a unique product. While occasionally organizations have attempted to create actual competition in terms of identical sports, most have failed or been absorbed by the NFL giant. The NFL, like any other company, is in existence to create revenue. While there is no current competition to the NFL in terms of leagues, the NFL’s success is defined by viewership. Without viewership, advertising dollars will fall. A decrease in viewership will result in less revenue for the NFL…

Question #3 Ownership and sense of self are definitely related. The ability to own objects, skills, and memories, helps define yourself as a person. Our society says people have to own certain items or clothes to be considered cool or fashionable, and whether you own the items or not, it might effect your personality. "Owning" a skill can reward you with tangible items, owning experiences, and opinions institute uniqueness. Everything you own, tangible and intangible, helps distinguish…
