Slavery
It has taken thousands of years to achieve the commonly accepted understanding that human being cannot be in private possession. A cultural phenomenon, by its nature is much closer to human being than to physical thing. For example, a hero of a book is an acting person for many people and influences them in a greater degree, than physically alive ones.
Private Property
It has taken thousands of years to achieve the commonly accepted understanding that real property acquired through labor and trade cannot be taken from the owner at someone else's will.
Culture
No commonly accepted understanding on proper social relations within culture has been achieved so far. Laws to govern culture are built on some kind of compromise between those to govern private property and something else, which has never been clearly stated and even asked. It must happen sometime and it be a matter of principle, based on the nature of culture itself.
