Is it possible that the ideas we have today about ownership and property rights have been so universal in the human mind that it is truly as if they had sprung from the mind of God? By no means. The idea of owning and property emerged in the mists of unrecorded history. The ancient Jews, for one, had a very different outlook on property and ownership, viewing it as something much more temporary and’ tentative than we do.
The ideas we have in America about the private ownership of productive property as a natural and universal right of mankind, perhaps of divine origin, are by no means universal and must be viewed as an invention of man rather than an order of God. Of course, we are completely trained to accept the idea of ownership of the earth and its products, raw and transformed. It seems not at all strange; in fact, it is quite difficult to imagine a society without such arrangements. If someone, some individuals, didn’t own that plot of land, that house, that factory, that machine, that tower of wheat, how would we function? What would the rules be? Whom would we buy from and how would we sell?
It is important to acknowledge a significant difference between achieving ownership simply by taking or claiming property and owning what we tend to call the "fruit of labor." If I, alone or together with my family, work on the land and raise crops, or if I make something useful out of natural material, it seems reasonable and fair to claim that the crops or the objects belong to me or my family, are my property, at least in the sense that I have first claim on them. Hardly anyone would dispute that. In fact, some of the early radical workingmen’s movements made (an ownership) claim on those very grounds. As industrial organization became more complex, however, such issues became vastly more intricate. It must be clear that in modem society the social heritage of knowledge and technology and the social organization of manufacture and exchange account for far more of the productivity of industry and the value of what is produced than can be accounted for by the labor of any number of individuals. Hardly any person can now point and say, "That--that right there--is the fruit of my labor." We can say, as a society, as a nation--as a world, really--that what is produced is the fruit of our labor, the product of the whole society as a collectivity.
We have to recognize that the right of private individual ownership of property is man-made and constantly dependent on the extent to which those without property believe that the owner can make his claim, dependent on the extent to which those without stick.
选项
A、resulted from the concept of property right
B、stemmed from the uncovered prehistoric ages
C、arose from the generous blessing of the Creator
D、originated from the undetected Middle Ages
答案
B
解析
这是一道细节题。题干中的信号词为ownership,出自于文章第一段第一句话中。文章第一段指出:如今,我们有关所有权与财产权的观念已经太普遍,这种观念有没有可能是来自于上帝的意识呢?决不可能。有关所有权与财产的概念出现于模模糊糊的未被记载的历史中。古代的犹太人对所有权和财产权有着不同的观念,与我们相比,他们将财产和所有权看成是更加具有暂时性的东西。这说明,有关所有权的观念可能来自于远古时代。B说“来自于未被渲染的史前时代”,这与文章的意思相符。A明显与文章的意思不符;文中已经否定C,所以不对;文中没有提到中世纪,所以D不对。
