ownership
I do find it rather interesting this idea of ownership. Whether or not one in a community feels ownership beyond one's own bedroom.
Though I would say this has a long tradition in nostalgic pastoral: et ego in arcadia. In which the human being is never truly content and always longs for a mythical halcyon. How is modern day modern life different?
