1. Ownership and Social
Relationship
By: Manuel Dy

2. ACTIVITY:
Puzzle

3. Ownership
the ultimate and exclusive right conferred by a
lawful claim or title, and subject to certain
restrictions to enjoy, occupy, possess, rent, sell,
use, give away or even destroy an item of
property.
Ownership may be corporeal( title to a tangible
object such as a house) or incorporeal( title to an
intangible object, such as a copyright, or a right to
recover debt). Possession ( as in tenancy) does not
necessarily mean ownership because it does not
automatically transfer title.

4. Social Relationship
 social relationship can be defined as a
relationship that is primarily initiated
with the purpose of friendship,
socialization, enjoyment or accomplishing
a task.
 Mutual needs are met during social
interaction.

5. The philosophical Foundation of the Rights of Ownership
In becoming oneself, the human person has to interact with outer in
order to survive and care for his corporeal existence.
The human person is embodied spirit.
The person’s bodily existence depends on his having to the good of the
earth, to calling material things his own.
Ownership is based on the every nature of man as embodied and
contributes to his being a person. Everyone has the right to having a
share of earthly goods sufficient for oneself and one’s family.
This right involves the power of disposal by use, consumption, sale,
donation, bequest; the right to the fruit of property; the right to make
property a source of gain, and the right to restitution. Because
ownership is so intimately linked to the human person, the right of
ownership has often been identified with private property.

6. In this regard, natural law ethics for instance dictates the institution of
private as an extension of the human person because the individual person
by nature desires property.
The term “Private”, can also include group property, the state’s collective
ownership, and that of a federation of states.
The right to ownership must be placed in this context, as an instrument by
means of which a person is able to relate to others and to recognize their
own right to live as a human person.
 Thus , the right to private property is not absolute but limited. It is “
subordinated t o the right of common use, to the fact that goods are meant
for every one”. It is limited by the right also of others to possess a
guarantee for their existence.
The right of ownership then is the right of every person to partake of the
goods of the earth in order to become himself in relation to others in
society.

7. The Evolution Of Property
 The Roman Civilization
 The Germanic Tribes
 The Middle Ages
 The Renaissance and the Reformation

8. The Roman Civilization
Initiated the differentiation of the family from the tribal
bond.
The familial became the most important unit, an economic
and a political unit together with the states.
The head of the family, the pater familias assumed almost
absolute and total control over the persons and things of
the family, his authority emanating from sacred tradition.
Everything belongs of the family, including the cults and
temple gods called the “ Patrimony"

9. The Germanic Tribes
The authority of the states and revived the old dominium structure
but with the landlords exercising power over their domain and
vassals instead of the old patres familias.
Since agriculture was the main economic activity, the seigniorial
system developed.
The feudal lord owned the grounds and their inhabitants, and the
vassal used the land and rendered loyal service to the lord
Existed during this time was not really a socialistic property right
because the individual and group constituted an organic
undifferentiated whole
This was no different from the Roman dominion except that the
Germanic feudal system admitted more relationships beyond that
of the family

10. The Middle Age
Twelfth century saw the growth of commerce and industry,
adding various horizontal corporate bonds to the vertical
relationship of the feudal system
towns., guilds, market associations gave birth to social
property with rights and restrictions crisscrossing those of
the feudal system.

11. The Renaissance and the Reformation
Birth to a new economic life beyond that of
the farm and the craft, commercial
capitalism.
Production grew to satisfy not only existing
needs but the desire for profit

12. Modernization
Three features characterized presented by Max weber called rationality
implications do the features of modernization have on property and
social relations ?
First , the rise of science and technology and their institutionalization
has led to the treatment of property as a form of social capital
Second the bureaucracy prevalent in modern institutions whether of
government or the enterprise, the management and control of
production require many abilities and skills that the individual owner
may not have.
 Thirdly, the socio- cultural pluralism of modernization has given rise to
many varied forms of ownership and has broadened the function of
personal property. And personal property consists mostly now of
owning money and abstract titles of ownership which can be spent and
used for a decent living and to provide education for the children.

The moral problem regarding ownership has
to do with justice and Injustice
