seciton 5 and 6

Section five and six were about provate property and the work force including labor unions. The first section that i read about private property and the social catholic teaching was pretty confusing. There were lots of connections between the common good and the ability to own private property. Individual ownership allows the incentive for people "to be productive and to care for the goods God has created". But those who hold a great deal of private property has the ability to hurt the poor. These two main ponts were pretty confusing to me. In they reading they made it clear that socialization and socialism are two completley different things and I thought of them as pretty similar. so Im glad I got that cleared up. Socialization is the greater accountability and social responsibility so someone would have to exercise a responsible use of property. The second section was a lot more interesting because it was about the labor work force and how social catholic teaching is always putting forth their efforts to helping the conditions of the work force. Conditions included wages, benefits, hours, etc. I was a little confused when they started talking about labor unions because I wasnt to sure of what it really was. The social catholic believe that "labor unions are crucial elements in the overall balacne of power in the economy..playing a constructive role in the pursuit of economic justice."I agree with the ending part that work is a good thing like how it gives opportunity for the community, and displays skills of people, and allows them to interact with people with the same interests. The work force is a good thing.
