Whether one owns something or not seriously affects how one will treat it. However, it is also argued that moral behavior reflects how a person handles things such as property or responsibilities. Not only does ownership of property or moral behavior affect ownership, but ownership of property also says a lot about the person himself. There are many things that come with owning and buying a property, such as the emotional pride and responsibility one feels. Although there is power of ownership, the individual must show responsibility and pay for it, otherwise they will find themselves in debt. Psychologically, ownership affects people on a very emotional scale, from how they treat their property, to the obsession they may develop over their property, to how people target certain owners because of their wealth. In “Defining a Property Society” by David Boaz he quotes Aristotle: “what belongs in common to the greatest number receives the least care; they think above all of their own things and less of common things, or of so many things which are the responsibility of each person individually” (Boaz 329). If a person owns something, they are more likely to take care of it, especially if the condition of the product varies and the amount of money they will receive later. Owning a home, for example, imposes an enormous responsibility on a person. Although the task is stressful, it is manageable. As you begin to juggle bills and yard maintenance, you begin to feel a sense of pride in your home. Boaz uses the axiom “A man’s house is his castle” (Boaz 330). Chosen to express the pride an individual feels and the sense of immunity one feels from the government inside their home. Since the government owns only one product (an apartment in the middle of a piece of paper), a sense of pride envelops them when they assume what is theirs. Debt can also arise due to ownership. If a person does not know their limits or do not experience some form of restraint, they will be caught in an obsession with obtaining the new and improved or will be completely overwhelmed by massive debts, if they are not handled with caution or with some sort of plan. they will find themselves in deep trouble.
