Ownership
There may be many different kinds of ownership and sense of self, but to own something personal or valuable, you have to have virtues. As I defend Plato’s argument of owning objects is detrimental to a person’s character and Jean-Paul Sartre proposes that ownership extends beyond objects to include intangible things as well with the meanings of ownership. In addition to Plato’s argument, it means that if they lost that object, it may be harmful to who they are. Meaningful objects define who you are. It may label one to be better off without that object. For instance, someone popular in school having the newest Juicy Couture purse or the newest Chevrolet diesel truck just to back them up. People just essential virtues.
