Possession

hoard money; they spend it. People do not cling to things; they discard them and buy other things” (Cavanaugh, 34). As we become more and more dependent on manufactured goods and further separated for the labor of creation, we start to value our possessions as less than what they are; we see them as easily disposable and replaceable. Cavanaugh goes on to talk about each aspect of production and how we as a nation have detached ourselves from the issues and…

unlawful search and seizure of contraband. In this case, I think that during a traffic stop law enforcement had probable cause she had drugs in her possession and they search her. She had a history of possession and selling drugs. This fits actual possession, constructive possession, and knowing possession. She was driving with drugs in her possession and knowing it was against the law, but when she was pulled over, she hides some of the drugs and money in her daughter’s pockets. I’m not a…

anything good really.” The War on Drugs has been an expensive and ineffective failure. However, by decriminalizing possession of all drugs and legalizing marijuana, financial losses can be turned to growth, drug related deaths can be drastically reduced, and addicts can finally get the help they need. Without reforming the current drug laws, those charged with minor drug possession will continue to flood our prisons and drug related deaths will continue to rise. The War on Drugs has not reduced…

Substance Crime Penalties In an effort to help curb dangerous substance related incidents, I would recommend a Federal mandate dictating how possession, OWI, and DUI charges are handled. The mandate would transform current penalties for each of these into more productive sentences. This policy would help prevent relapse and, in turn, recurring incarceration. This mandate would also help protect those who could be directly affected by the actions of those with substance abuse issues. This change…

math and the start of my passion for acting. The only possession from fifth grade that I still own is a yearbook, so I cherish the pictures it contains. This yearbook means nothing to my next door neighbor, but it means the world to me because I look back on the yearbook frequently, reminiscing the best memories. As seen in literature, the possessions that we treasure the most commonly mean more to us than what they are truly worth. Possessions are objects that we accumulate over our lifetime.…

God pleasing. He shows in his book that it is the human heart and its abuse of certain practices that are sinful not the aspects of business itself.

rather than material possessions brings true happiness. He begins by providing statistics pertaining a wondering mind and the negative effects it can have on our mental status. According to psychologist Matthew Killingsworth “it is not good for [ones’] well-being to have a wandering mind” (Hamblin, James, 2014, para. 1). Daniel Gilbert claims “a wandering mind is an unhappy mind” Hamblin continues to discuss the idea that money cannot buy happiness in terms of material possession but it can in…

b. Estate in Possession The individual must be entitled to possession of the property or the right to possession. Actual possession is not a requirement to petition and possession may be in the hands of another tenant or a life tenant. North Carolina law provides that, for the purposes of partition, joint tenants and tenants in common will be considered to currently possess the property as if no life estate existed because they actually do have the immediate right to possession subject only to…

The penalties for being in possession of cannabis in Ireland also differ from the penalties arising from being in possession controlled drugs. The Misuse of Drugs Act differentiates between possession for personal use and possession for sale. Ireland has a three strike system in relation to personal use; on your first offence you can receive a fine not exceeding €2500. On your second…
