Ownership of property may be private, collective, or common and the property may be objects, land/real estate or intellectual property. Determining ownership in law involves determining who has certain rights and duties over the property. These rights and duties, sometimes called a 'bundle of rights', can be separated and held by different parties.
The question of ownership reaches back to the ancient philosophers, Plato and Aristotle, who held different opinions on the subject. Plato (428/427BC-348/347BC) thought private property created divisive inequalities, while Aristotle (384BC-322BC) thought private property enabled people to receive the full benefit of their labor. Private property also circumvents what is now referred to as the “tragedy of the commons” problem, where people tend to degrade common property more than they do private property. While Aristotle justified the existence of private ownership, he left open questions of (1) how to allocate property between what is private and common and (2) how to allocate the private property within society.
Michelle Fields is a political journalist. Upon graduating from Pepperdine University in 2011, she gained attention after having a heated confrontation with actor Matt Damon over teacher tenure reform. After the Damon altercation, Fields was hired as a reporter by Tucker Carlson at The Daily Caller.
Fields was born in Los Angeles and grew up in the San Fernando Valley. She is Honduran American and is the daughter of television and film writer Greg Fields. She credits her older brother, who encouraged her to read Robert Nozick, for helping her realize she is "pro-liberty."
She studied political science at Pepperdine University and served as the president of the Pepperdine chapter of Students For Liberty.
Fields covered the Occupy Movement in both New York City and Washington, DC. Her sometimes critical coverage of Occupy DC garnered harassment from protesters when a demonstration turned violent.
Fields is known for filming and editing her videos in citizen journalism style. She credits the internet for launching her career and believes that the popularity of her videos is due to her citizen journalism style of reporting. In an interview with C-SPAN in 2011 she said that the use of the internet has empowered people so much that now "one voice can be just as powerful as the New York Times."
The world's spinning 'round
And I can not escape
From this decadence
That we're living in
So we drink, 'til we forget ourselves
Then we find ourselves
Lost among everythings
I'm crying out loud
I feeling tired
I used to be proud
But I guess I've expired
Oh, I know It'd be wrong
Oh, I know It'd be wrong
But I can't stand to live alone
You're my flesh and bone
I wanna write you a song
I wanna take you home
I wanna be your own
And in the dawn
When I wake up again
Closer to the end
Than I've ever been
If I saw your face
I know we could escape
To another place where
Things could be sinking in
I'm crying out loud
I feeling tired
I used to be proud
But I guess I've expired
Oh, I know It'd be wrong
Oh, I know It'd be wrong
But I can't stand to live alone
You're my flesh and bone
I wanna move to Rome
Far away from home
Where you could be my own
I'm feeling tired...
I'm crying out loud
I guess I've expired
Oh, I know It'd be wrong
Oh, I know It'd be wrong
But I can't stand to live alone
You're my flesh and bone
I wanna write you a song
I wanna take you home
I wanna be your own
Be your own
