In defining the processes and steps involved in moving a household there are many comparisons possible to managing a highly complex project as well. The project management frameworks and sequence of steps is comparable between moving even the simplest household versus completing a commercial or private project. The goal of this paper is to apply the stage of project lifecycles to moving a household. As with any successful project, the most foundational step is to ensure everyone has the same set of expectation and that objectives are defined in common terms everyone can understand. Project lifecycles are the most successful when there is a very clear series of expectations and requirements shared across all teams (Pasian, Sankaran, Boydell, 2012). The most successful projects are those that set attainable, realistic and clearly defined goals that enable all project teams and contributors to stay focused on its completion (Cagle, 1990). Jas as a team involved in a complex project must all share a common series of expectations about what can be accomplished and when, the same holds true of each family member involved in a move as well. Both groups must share a common series of expectations of each step from a logistics standpoint. Insight about which specific steps need to happen when also must be well understood and bought into by both teams. The commitment of each team, in both examples, is critical to the success of the respective projects as well. Creating a shared sense of ownership in any project is essential to its success and the reduction of resistance to change (Jaafari, 2000). For both household moving and for a large-scale project, there also must be a project plan that is very clear about the critical path, supporting and subordinate tasks. In the case of a household moving, the goals of the move need to be clearly understood, in addition to the process for selecting a mover versus choosing to move entirely on one's own. The potential locations for the move need to be evaluated according to a series of criterion, in addition to a framework being provided that shows the overall trade-offs of each location. The financial impactions of one location relative to another need to be defined with a series of metrics and the schedule tasks defined and sequenced according to time and cost constraints (Khang, Moe, 2008). Both a formalized project and a household move must also have a critical path defined, specifically showing which tasks precede the other and what the potential is on overall schedule accomplishment based on the acceleration or slip relative to schedule dates (Khang, Moe, 2008). As is the case with any successful project, the ability of project team members to have a high degree of collaboration and communication, including high levels of trust, are essential for projects and family moves to be successful.

In a capitalistic society, risk is often associated with reward. In many instances, it takes risk to garner the large profits and wealth that many entrepreneurs amass over time. It is through this risk that society overall benefits. The vast ecosystem embedded within a capitalistic society requires innovations to better compete in a global environment. Technology, energy, and banking all require new and unique products to cater to a growing international dynamic.

As one of the most influential social and political philosophers of Western Civilization, John Locke, in his works Two Treatises of Government and Letters Concerning Toleration set the stage for the idea that humans are by nature free and equal. People have rights – life, liberty and property, and have a foundation of basics that are independent of the laws of any particular group or society. Locke's "theory of mind" is considered by many to be one of the origins of the modern conception of identity and the self
