Stuff Is Not Salvation Analysis

Quindlen states that Americans have, “an addiction to consumption, so out of control that it qualifies as a sickness.” However, she is not just referring to an addiction to buying meaningless items, but the idea that people are purchasing items when they have no money. Quindlen validates her argument with the tragedy of a walmart employee that as trampled to death on Black Friday, and the concept that many people have lost their sense of appreciation and gratefulness.

Case Study: Kelo V. New London

1506 Words | 7 Pages

Coastal Property As Martin’s attorney, I believe he should consider his beach house lost to eminent domain with no legal recourse and he should accept the compensation of full market value, which the city authorities are legally obligated to provide (G.S. §40A-64, 2006). Unfortunately, Martin has almost no right to recover his property. The seizure of Martin’s property under North Carolina law and the caselaw precedent of Kelo v. New London (2005) firmly establishes the doctrine of eminent domain. Eminent domain is defined as “the constitutional right of the government to take privately owned real property for a [public use] purpose in exchange for just compensation to the [property] owner” (Kubasek, Brennan, & Browne, 2015, p. 359).
