What does it mean to own something and how can it impact our sense of self? Many philosophers have has opposing views about this. However, Jean-Paul Sartre has the most accurate representation about the meaning of owning something. Ownership expands beyond physical objects, which means that it includes intangible things. This includes learning a skill or knowing a subject extremely well. Also, ownership doesn’t always impact character negatively, the same way it doesn’t impact it positively all the time. You can see examples of this all throughout everyday life, literature, and movies.…
A possession is something someone owns that they seek an immense amount of value in. Some possessions mean more to certain people depending on the circumstances surrounding it. It may have been handed down from a family member, or it might just be something they bought to remind them of a loved one who passed away. It could be as big a car, or even as small as a ring. The main thing about a possession is the meaning it holds within it.…

Like the character Lemon Brown in the story "The Treasure of Lemon Brown", I have a treasure. When most of think of treasure, they think of money or wealth, but my treasure is my family. I treasure my family so much because I couldn't live without them.…
I believe that ownership applies not only to real, physical objects, but also impalpable ones as well; one can own something, such as a pen or pencil, and also own a creation of the mind, like a thought or dream. It is clear that owning something is more than possessing material things, something like a concept or idea, and can then be developed into our sense of self.…
My Clifford book represents a lot. Which is why this book is so important to me. Though it may be wrinkled, bent, and mostly destroyed by now, it still hits that soft spot in my heart. How about you? What important thing do you…
In 1981, IBM sold the first "PC", made from an 8088 processor with a clock speed of 4.77 MHz. It wasn’t the first computer ever made, but it was the first computer sold to ordinary people. We have moved on, we have made changes, and we have progressed to enhance computers. Computers have found their way into many aspects of our lives. In most cases computers make things easier for us. Computers have helped us so much, yet people seem to think we have come to be too dependent on them. Are computers really hurting our lifestyles? They have allowed us to learn, to communicate, and to organize making life just a little less stressful. Computers are great for the future of our world and will be greatly needed as we have many more things to discover in the near future and beyond. People may complain and argue that computers are just too much but they will see the truth when life needs more organization ,more communication and more education. Yes we could survive without computers, but the truth is… do we want to when we realize just what a computer can do for us. Computers are a central data base with thousands of resources instruments and tools that can help change the way we live. Yes we can use books and other resources to learn, but isn’t it nice to highlight the facts we need to know and take out the rest. Furthermore I will continue to discuss the reasons why computers are good and why we have not become overly dependent on them.…
The value that I hold most dear is appreciation. Not always did I cherish this value but a life changing experience caused me to appreciate all that I’ve been given. The life changing experience was a mission trip. In February I was given the opportunity to go to Guatemala and build very tiny houses for families who lived in the mountains. Every village we visited were different but they all had two things in common, laughter and thankfulness. I am still amazed and in awe of how the Guatemalans were filled with joy with the little that they had, they had a strong appreciation for the lives that they lived, they were simply thankful.…
I value many things that are in my life. These include family, friends, relationships, love, and compassion. I was raised in a family oriented environment with my parents, my aunts, uncles, and grandparents. Without these amazing people I would not be the person I am now. As I was growing up my family and I were never the most outgoing or social people around, so I learned to be very independent in the way I think and how I do things. I know what I think and I do not care what others have to say. I never have had a great deal of friends throughout life. Luckily I did find five amazing friends while I was in my junior and senior year of high school. Without them I would surely be lost. I value relationships and everything involved with them. I do not mess around with people’s emotions and “play” people just to get something, I search for good hearted people with good morals who are caring and looking for what I am. I try to surround myself with people like this to ensure a good life and a lifelong friendship.…
The value that people place on their love ones or materialistic objects, helps them build and construct their dignity and pride. Some people maintain this two elements by obtaining valuable items, their occupation, income and their positive relationship with their family.…
Everyone has a treasure, and some people can even have more than one. You may share a treasure with someone else, but everyone has a different reason to identify that person or thing as their treasure. For instance, Lemon Brown and his son cherish the same objects, newspaper clippings and a harmonica. Lemon Brown treasures the objects because they mean that his son cherished him, and his son treasured the objects because he cherished his father. Treasures are different for everyone, whether it is an object or a meaning.…
ost people would've easily answered this question and come up with hundreds of things that are important to them. I on the other hand, had to really think about what to write when I answered this question. I have things that I like and enjoy, but there aren't many things that I couldn't live without. One of the few objects that is very important to me is my piano. I've owned the same piano for almost 10 years. It is important to me because it has helped me learn to appreciate all music, valuable life lessons, and what it means to be passionate about something.…
One priceless item i have is my house because i live in it and have so many memories that took place in it. Another is my family because they love me and can’t be replaced with no one or nothing else. The next is my grandfather’s watch no because of it’s value but because of it’s meaning to me. Also, my dogs because they guard my house and keep me safe. One of my favorite though is my mom’s cooking because it is the best food you will ever eat!…
For example, I am always an honest person. Knowing that will never lie and always be honest makes me feel that I own it. In addition, I play the trumpet and love doing it. Being a musician is something that I own and it has become a part of my life, just like how honesty has. Being proficient in a skill is completely ownership due to no one ever taking away the thoughts in anyone's brain. Having skills and beliefs always helps to develop a sense of…
Everyday, as I go back from work and enter my room, my eyes divert to the corner, for it holds something I cherish from the depth of my heart. It may seem silly to others, but I am totally indifferent to what others think, partly because it defines me, and partly because it is the only thing that solely belongs to me and me only.…
