meaning of property
How can something be someone´s property?
This question is about how we understand the property system beginning from the person.
I think that one way we can understand this through the use we give to things, so if, for example you constantly use a scarf, that you found it in some place, you, with the pass of time will say it is your scarf, and then if the real owner of that, shows up and tell you that it is his scarf, you will say that is not true because you are convinced that you are the owner, because you constantly use it….
Or in the case of the land that belongs to the local government and is invaded and they build houses on this land, then they will say that they are the owners of this land. This causes conflict among the authorities because when they say people that the land is not of their property the people become mad because they feel like they have the rights of stay and use the land because they give it a use.
Another way to understand property is by the meaning of the title of possessing it this is more related with the big properties like houses or factories…. This meaning of property is when you buy something or get something buying it or get by a legal way, this implies authorities and an organization.

i think that rather than the use of the property you have to take in account the power over the property. for example let´s say that a man is the owner of a taxi and he hires a driver to use the car to earn money. But the man that has power over the take able to destroy it sell it burn it buy new tires is not the man that is the owner of the property and he has power over it no necessarily a title of possession because in the end he could have stolen the taxi, but still he has power over it and it´s future.
