Do people have the right to take things that do not belong to them? I was shown a picture about a family whose house was being torn down because it was built on "illegally" sold land. I believe that the family should not have been reprimanded because the house was built somewhere that they did not have any control over.
Though there always two sides to things. The first would be it is NOT right to take things from people especially if has not been given away or bought. To me that is like when the Native Americans got their land taken from them by the White man. This land had been in those families for generations and then in a blink of an eye it was all vanished. NOBODY had the right to take it.
The second would be the exception. It IS right to take things from people when they have borrowed the money to get them. When people get loans from the bank to buy a house, they have to pay that money back. If there has been continuous non-payment then I think it perfectly LEGAL to take it away.
There are going to be people who think this is completely contradicting but I do not think so. I think that unless you have the legal right to take something away, then it morally is not right. When I say morally I mean it is not a humane thing to do. I do not know if that makes sense, but I hope it does.
Ambra, great thoughts! Be sure you do not leave fragments in your writing. Example: "Though there always two sides to things. The first would be it is NOT right to take things from people especially if has not been given away or bought." First sentence is a fragment.
