Importance Of Property Ownership

Decent Essays
Property ownership, to own or not to own, that is the question.
Have you ever owned property and was concerned about whether or not it was a good thing for you? There are plenty of people who have owned property and never really understood what the real benefits are from owning it. Some people live on their own property so they can choose who trespasses onto their property, some don’t live on their own property but rent it out, while others use the land to their advantage and farm or raise livestock for their own good.

When you grow your own food, everything is fresher and has a different taste to it because you can choose to use all the pesticides and chemicals or buy the food from a store which the chemicals had been used. Also by growing your food, you can sell your product and make money from it at a farmers market or wherever you feel would be a great place to grow food.

If there were a famine or something another world war had sprang up, you can save up and store any extra food you may have. So instead of going hungry and dying of starvation, you and your family would have everything you would need. Growing your own food helps you become a healthier and more active person too.

    Guns, Germs, and Steel, a three-part documentary based on Jared Diamond’s book takes us on a journey of a lifetime as we explore the world’s development overtime. When Diamond sought out to find the answers he was looking for and to write his book, he met a man named Yali who asked him, “Why is it that you white people developed so much cargo and brought it to New Guinea, but we black people have little cargo of our own?” When asked this, Jared Diamond thought that the answer was simple, but at the time, he could not give Yali the answer he was looking for. Typically, most people from New Guinea saw the “white man's cargo” as material things and feared that it represented power.…

However, under the Takings Clause of the 5th Amendment we are prevented from this specific action, fighting for something we love. The Takings Clause states, “nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation."…

    On the Nature of Property – Jean-Sifrein Maury In the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen, it is stated that “property is an inviolable and sacred right…” and the current draft of the Constitution states that “the constitution guarantees the inviolability of property or a just and prior indemnity for that of which a legally established public necessity may demand the sacrifice.” This is a section of the Constitution that should be applauded. For in this statement, there lies a great and admirable protection of citizens – a protection of them from the government. By stating this as law no longer can the government take anyone’s land in the state and if they do, just compensation is required.…

    “No person …shall be…deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation” (Williams). Or so that is what the modern people of the U.S thought. Eminent domain was one of the first powers given to the government from the Fifth Amendment. Even though it was one of the first powers that was given to the government, it has become one of the most abused recently in numerous court cases. The vast majority of them end with the government winning with a rebuttal stating that no one can take property without due process of law or just compensation.…

    Laura Reddig Professor Michelle MacFarlane AG 198 7 October, 2015 Midterm 1. Alternative crops are crucial to changing the unhealthy dieting habits of modern culture as the reliance on calorie rich crops rise. The world is shifting its agricultural focus to crops like wheat, corn, and soybeans while crops like sweet potato, cassava and yam are declining in numbers (Parker, 2014). With such a limited number of crops being relied on to provide most dietary nutrition, those crops have to be specifically bred and genetically modified to keep up with the nutritional demand. Alternative crops add diversity in the world’s food supply so a few select crops are not the only ones relied on for a majority of the food demand.…
