Human Alienation
The extinction of experience is the loss of interaction to nature, the "decline in spontaneous outdoor activities." Human beings as mentions in the article
are engaging less in activities in nature, our focus has shifted dramatically toward the urbanized cities filled with technology and non–nature related
pursuits. As of now the majority of the world's population are indeed living in a forest, but it is a concrete jungle with high rises, air pollution,
congestion and so on.
2. What contributes to the alienation (detachment, isolation) of people to the natural world? The contribution to the alienation of people to the natural
world are numerous. According to the author, "Several possible triggers have been identified, such as rapid growth...of people living in urban areas;
technological advancements and the emergence of sedentary pastimes such as watching television, playing computer games, and using the internet; and
the over scheduling and micromanagement o children's lives. The truth is unfortunately saddening because one can witness such a phenomena with a
brief walk in the downtown district areas, a tour of mega malls, down the hallway of schools, and even at home. People in the 21th century are glued to
their phones or other devices; there are even terms to described them including phone zombies, digital zombies, etc. If people are not using their phones
they entertain themselves with constant quote or quote reality television shows, or the fancy news anchor rewriting news report to fit their agenda.
3. What are the consequences of a loss of engagement with nature? The consequences of the detachment from nature are just as many when compared
to the causes to isolating ourselves from nature. In the bolded letters above the introduction, the authors stated, "The loss of interaction with nature not
only diminishes a wide range of benefits relating to health and well–being, but also discourages positive emotions, attitudes, and behavior with regard
to the environment, implying a cycle of disaffection toward nature." As an example of the drawback of detaching from nature, "Nathan and St Antoine

Alienation In Frankenstein
In her novel Frankenstein, Mary Shelley explores a wide range of themes concerning human nature through the thoughts and actions of two main
characters and a host of others. Two themes are at the heart of the story, the most important being creation, but emphasis is also placed on alienation
from society. These two themes are relevant even in today's society as technology brings us ever closer to Frankenstein's fictional achievement.
First, let's examine the alienation from society suffered by Frankenstein's monster. The cause of his ostracism was his horrificphysical appearance. It
was so bad that people would not even allow him the chance to speak or get to know the person ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
And when Frankenstein rejected him, he sought to make Victor an empathizer by killing those whom he loved. Perhaps less than revenge, the monster
only wanted someone to know what it is like to be alone and denied love.
This brings us the theme of creation, which really contains smaller 'sub–themes.' There is the relationship between the creator and his creation as well
as the question of whether or not the created owes his allegiance to society. What should the relationship between Victor and the monster have been?
In Shelley's criticism of all who were disgusted by his looks, Victor would be in the wrong for having shunned the monster. It was his fault the
monster existed, so he should have taken it in and shown it compassion. As the creator, he owes his creation the basic means to a happy life. As for
the monster, in turn for his creator's gift of life and happiness, he would pledge loyalty. But because Frankenstein dropped his end of the contract from
the start, all bets were off and the monster tried to be as diplomatic as possible about the whole affair. This goes back to the alienation theme starting
with Victor's abandoning of the monster.
What about the monster's role in society? As a man's creation, did the monster owe any debt to society or have a right to be part of it? He did not
choose to be born into it, but he was forced to seek refuge in the world upon

Zone Of Proximal Development Paper
1) The Zone of Proximal Development. Please add two examples applying this concept to schooling.
The Zone of Proximal Development is where the skill set taught to the child is much higher than the child's skill set. It also refers to the ability of
children to master a task either on their own or with help. It describes the difficulty of a task ranging from a kid who gets it right away to someone
who could not master the task without several weeks of assistance.

3) Vygotsky and education. How important is education and what is the primary school teacher's role?
Education is very important and the primary teacher's role plays a large part in how well a child learns. She should be a guide to the students and not
be a dictator. Meaning she show them how to do things in a step–by–step process so they can eventually perform these task on their own. Early
education sets the stage for learning in later years and is a very important aspect of child development.

Alienation In The Misanthrope
According to Florencia, the play "The Misanthrope" is very contemporary because the story revolves around the feeling of rejection towards society and
almost everything that surrounds it. Also, she added the subsequent isolation that a person feels. It happens all the time. People tend to hate the people
around them yet, they can't stand that deep loneliness they find. People will have different perceptions why they would experience such situation.
Some would believe that they are indeed cursed or have been hit by karma and then kind of give up, accepting that miserable existence. They might
accept it until they find that special someone that dislikes that side of the world, too. That "What! You too? I thought that no one but myself..."
moment. Or they die alone, whatever comes first. No matter the time or place, some people feel like outcasts, and that brings the issue of alienation.
"Other people" would start to look at them like the personification of abnormality. Like human beings that just hate humanity for the hell of it. Like

Alienation Theory
How is it in the year 2017, we are still considering there isn't a class structure in Australia? There are so many examples occurring in our everyday
life such as, where one person is living geographically could justify their wealth or where someone went to school could justify how intelligent this
person is. But with these examples, it seems like it is an invisible factor that we have become accustomed or prone to these types of justifications.
Verity Archer a writer in the book "Sociologic: Analysing Everything life and culture" said "we all think were in the middle
–class wise, this belief is a
core part of our national identity" . This is similar to what I am trying to explain, that we all think we're on the same level, however, we're all on an
imaginary level of various class–structures . Two sociologists Karl Max (1818–1883) and Erik Olin Wright (1947) had two similar but different views
on the way our society is classed and how their theories are adapting in our everyday lives, with the privileged minority of Australia to reinforce
ongoing inequality to the working–class. The aim of this essay is to see how in today's reality, the theories of Max and Wright are adapted into our

Essay about Parental Alienation Syndrome
Parental Alienation Syndrome is defined as a syndrome where one parent (usually the custodial parent) alienates the child or children from the other
parent. A child psychiatrist organized this syndrome by the name of Richard Gardner. The fact that Parental Alienation Syndrome is used in custody
litigations makes it a very controversial issue. The syndrome tends to target one parent and favor the other, sometimes leaving the child in
compromising situations. Also, Gardner's 'syndrome' lacks scientific background and is seen as nothing more than a theory by many other professionals.
Parental Alienation Syndrome should not be considered in court custody battles, as it is nothing more than an inadequate theory.

PAS often helps to mask child abuse allegations in court cases. As soon as a child brings any allegations to court, Gardner immediately turns to PAS and
blames the other parent for brainwashing their children into making allegation against the father. He believes that ninety percent of abuse allegations in
court cases are false.
With PAS being brought to a case, a child often ends up with a parent who has previously been accused or even convicted of abuse. For example, in
Salt Lake City, Utah, the Jensen couple was going through a custody battle after their divorce. Mr. Jensen was listed in Utah's Child Abuse/Neglect
database. He also had nine different experts testify that he did indeed have abuse problems, including his six–year old daughter's pediatrician. With all
of his abuse background, Mr. Jensen should never be awarded custody of a child let alone visitations right? Well, he did. When PAS was brought into
the courtroom, he targeted Mrs. Jensen and made her look like the bad person by saying she forced their daughter to make false allegations on him.
With the 'help' of Gardner's PAS, an innocent child is now in full custody of her father, an abuser, with only one visit each month with hermother.

Alienation
Alienation is a concept that describes an isolated and separated circumstance in the workplace. Browne (2011:380) notes "Alienation is the condition
where workers have no job satisfaction or fulfillment from their work". Alienation could cause some severe consequences. In 2010, thirteen employees,
who worked for a Chinese company–Foxconn, committed suicided. (BBC) In this case, it is possible that the suicide event is due to that Foxconn is

The data of questionnaire showed that printers had a low level of alienation, which means they were satisfied with their jobs and were non–alienated
workers. (Haralambos, 2004) This might be due to that printing–craft, needed a high level of skill by using hand, and abilities of creativity and
judgment. Thus, printers had the sense of responsibility of the whole process of the production. (Browne, 2011) Moreover, printers could move around
and talk to others when they are working, which means they had not undergone self–estrangement from their work. (Haralambos, 2004) The second
industry to be analysed was textiles–machine–tending industry. The data indicated that the level of alienation was much higher than printing industry.
It seems due to the technology that was applied in the textiles industry. The degree of powerlessness, social isolation and self–estrangement were high,
because there were supervisors to control and manage them. The level of meaninglessness also was high, because the workers were not taking part in
all of the process of the production. However, the textile workers always had a close–knit relationship with each other. This might because they lived
together or had same religion. (Haralambos, 2004) The workers of the cars–assembly–line production got the highest degree of alienation. This mainly
due to the fact that the environment of the workplace was extremely isolated, separated and supervised. Thus, the level of powerlessness, social

The Necktie Alienation
Alienation in The Workplace: A Reflection on The Short Movie "The Necktie" The labour process under a capitalist society has become distorted over
time. James Rinehart explores this in his book "The Tyranny of Work," where he ponders the recent evolution of labour in relation to the human
condition. (Rinehart, 2006) An action which should look to promote personal and communal development now leaves employees alienated in several
forms. We're given a visual representation of this through the short movie "The Necktie," and real–life examples of experiments conducted in Dan
Ariely's Ted Talk, "What makes us feel good about our work?" (Canada, 2017) (Ariely, 2017) Alienation from Self Within the first few minutes of

work. The deeper he goes into the building – which symbolizes his work as a whole – the further he is separated from himself. The man's creativity

A Conceptual Model of Service Quality
This Parasuraman, Zeithaml and Berry (1985) model shows factors that influence customers' expectations. These factors include word of mouth
communication; personal needs; past experience and external communication to customers (Figure 3.1). All these factors create the desire for service
in the customer's mind which is fulfilled through consumption of the desired services. This is followed by comparisons between the service encounter
and the expectations that the customer had in order to assess the quality of service.

The first lesson the monster ever learned came from VictorFrankenstein. Whenever the monster turned to his master for love and comfort, he was
turned away with fear. As soon as Frankenstein saw his repulsive countenance, he ran away into the dark of the night. Right away, the monster was
denied any form of nurture that could have potentially changed the plot of the novel. After stumbling upon a few unpleasant strangers, the monster
only desired acceptance from human society with the help of the cottagers: "The more I saw of them, the greater became my desire to claim their
protection and kindness; my heart yearned to be loved and known by these amiable creatures (Shelley, 133)." Some parents such as Victor begin
ignoring their children from the very beginning. If kids don't receive nurture from an early age, their personalities are shaped by the way they are
treated: "These family disruptions are much more strongly related to feelings of fewer social supports and more negative moods and feelings
(Science Blog)." Without guidance from his "father", the monster attempted to make a place for himself into society. The monster's heroic rescue of
the little girl illustrates his good heart and innocence; even though his mind was slightly disturbed, all he needed was for someone to reciprocate his
love. Giving undying support to a child is detrimental to their development. Parents play a huge role in their child's life and should be present as much as

Marx Alienation
Marx's theory on species being and estranged labour. The theory of alienation by Karl Marx describes the act of estrangement of persons beginning
from those characteristics of their species–essence in place of a magnitude of existence in a society or community of stratified collective classes. The
isolation from oneself is generally as a result of being an automatic part of the communal class (Meszaros, pg 54). Philosophically, this theory
depends s upon the essence of Christianity which was described by Ludwig Feuerbach. Marx further extended this theory of Ludwig by stating
that even the idea of humanity is also an alienating perception for people to logically deliberate in its complete metaphysical implication
(Meszaros, pg 57). In his work of 1844, Marx explained alienation in the following way: In any capitalist society, the isolation of employed workers
from their humanity is believed to occur because the only thing that a worker can express is labour (Meszaros, pg 59). This is a significant societal
facet of particular eccentricity through a privatised system of industrial production where every employee is considered a thing but not a person. The
following are the four types of alienation that normally exist to a worker who is labouring under a capitalist form of industrial production: 1. The

"because the father failed to demonstrate a proper ground for modification of the prior parenting arrangement and because the proof shows that the
mother is more inclined than the father to encourage the child's relationship with the other parent." The authors conclude, "While the use of testimony

Alienation In Frankenstein
What is alienation? Alienation can be defined as the purposeful isolation of a person from society. The theme of isolation is evident throughout Mary
Shelley's Frankenstein. Mary Shelley uses alienation through isolation from society to show Victor's fading state of mind, which reflects that of the
homeless in modern society, in order to convey that when one has little to no meaningful contact with the outside world or other people, his or her
loved ones will begin to grow further away.
Mary Shelley shows the struggles of alienation, as seen in the homeless today, by explaining that Victor suffered from being isolated his entire
life.Victor Frankenstein, a man of science, has a goal in life to discover and utilize the source of life. He spends much of his time trying to create life,
but he does not recognize the consequences. Because Victor taught himself and his father disliked science, he had to struggle "with a child's
blindness, [adding] to [his] thirst for knowledge" (Shelley 38). The phrase, "child's blindness," used to describe Victor's alienation from his loved
ones shows that he purposefully isolated himself from his family, in order to show the struggles he had to face to achieve his scientific dreams. He
forced himself into isolation as a child in order to learn and become a man of science. The blindness he refers to describes his inability to
acknowledge his family due to his dedication to science. Later, Victor decides to study at Ingolstadt. He studies science

Considering Bretch's idea of defamiliarisation, the tiger creates a distance through its foreign nature and ambiguity. Thus, the ordinary relationship
between the tiger and Fatimah is rendered strange and unexpected due to the dehumanising and oppressive impressions created in the text through their
relationship. To view the tiger as majestic, yet an animal, it resonates the dehumanisation of Malaya. Also, from dehumanising description of Fatimah
as one of "plump, brown figure, and accentuated the full breasts and womb of a pregnant woman [with] the round, high–cheekboned face, so typical of
the Malays" (99), highlights the colonial male gaze in objectifying the Malay woman, where the nuances within racial and gendered oppression is
subtly yet strongly emphasised. This calls for the anti–colonial story by Rajaratnam, as the idea of "othering" practiced during the colonial period
serves as an acute hindrance for humanity, co–existence and creation of independent Malayan identity. Additionally, the strong parallel between the
tiger and Fatimah in their immersion in the natural world is significant in highlighting the value of compassion and humanity for peaceful co–existence.

He ultimately feels alienated by her. He also has no family left. The disappearance of his parents and sister were most likely caused by the "Party".
This fuels his hatred for the "Party", and pushes him away from the thought of having a "Big Brother". Having no close family of friends causes
Winston to believe that he is different from everyone which is alienation. Another crime that Winston committed leading to more alienation was his
affair with Julia. Having sexual relationships with another person was frowned upon by the "Party". This was not an actually law, but these values
were encouraged by the anti–sex league. The "Party" believed that having sexual relations would develop feelings, which were seen to be illegal.
Winston did have a hatred for the opposite sex, "He disliked nearly all women, and especially the young and pretty ones, who were the most bigoted
adherents of the party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers–out of unorthodoxy." (Orwell) Winston was attracted to Julia who was
an exception to his hatred and they ended up rebelling against the "Party's" value. Because of their secret relationship, he started to develop feelings for
Julia, which causes him to become even more alienated. Another factor that didn't help was the fact that the complete surveillance of life prevented

hurt and dying, not just emotionally scarred. An example of this is present when Vladek is made aware of the way Jews were being treated by the

Alienation By Kristen Dombek 's Piece, She Details Various...
Alienation is something we find to be constantly present within our society. This idea is steadily exemplified throughout history whether it be through
class, race, or any social unjust. In Kristen Dombek's piece, she details various accounts of social alienation. The reader follows as Dombek reveals
corruption between human relationships and the way we interact with world. She exposes what we are all afraid to admit– modern values and morals.
Kristen Dombek presses us with the question of why we do the things we do and live the way we live. Readers are forced to question if they are
slaves to the world around them. Do we succumb to the social and economical pressure demanded from us, and if so, will we allow that to happen
for the generations after us? Although alienation is something that roots from ourselves as individuals, recognize the factors in our lives that this
originates from. Question the relationships people have established in their own neighborhood, or if a prosaic office job is fulfilling. When we
serve our economy but it does not do the same for us, the symbiosis or harmony in which live in is disrupted. Will we make a change for the beauty we
desire to create and the life we lead in oppression today or tomorrow? In Bank–robbin in Brooklyn Kristen Dombeck explores the ideas of societal
alienation by questioning the dynamic of people 's' lives in their neighborhoods, in the workplace and their roles in society in general. Neighborhoods

Marx 's Views On Labor Alienation And Its Effects On Humanity
Karl Marx stands out among other famous philosophers of the 19th century. He founded proactive theories, which called for political action as well as
social change, rather than mere theoretical study. One of such theories is his theory of alienation found in his work "The Economic and Philosophical
Manuscripts" (1844), also known as "The Paris Manuscripts". This theory explains how a capitalist socio–economic regime alienates the worker in
four various levels. Marx defines alienation as the absence of meaning or self– realization in one's life (Geras 26). This paper examines Marx's views
on labor alienation and its effects on humanity, his criticism of religion and its influences on his rejection ofcapitalism, as well as his concept of the
human nature.
Among the central concepts of Marx's philosophy is alienated labor. In "Paris Manuscripts" (1844), Marx borrows the concept of alienation from
Hegel, who argued that human beings could be out of sync with the world they inhabit (Marx et al. 283). Unlike Hegel, Marx narrows down the scope
by limiting alienation along the confines of labor. In the latter's view, alienation occurs from the way people validate their work. In Marx's theory of
alienation, he states that fundamental to the human identity and life is the process of production; transforming nature into things that satisfy an
individual's needs (Geras 30). Capitalism, which is the backdrop of this theory, undermines this personality construct, since the worker relates

Formal Paper# 1 – Alienation
In Ursula K. Le Guin's writing on 'The ones Who Walk Away From Omelas' explains how the little child had been isolated from the people of the town
while Nathaniel Hawthorne through 'Young Goodman Brown' illustrates Goodman Brown reactions as a result of the Devil's actions which made him
feel depressed by his own family's actions. Been isolated from the outside world or from the truth has led to one profiting from the unruly act that is
alienation. Alienation is the drastic difference between someone experiencing something that socially benefits others and someone who does not
because of lack of common values or sheer discernment. Ursula K. Le Guin in her writing explores this aspect of alienation, discernment by the
community members of Omelas towards the child whereas Nathaniel Hawthorne, shows how someone can benefit from alienation, in this case; the

Love is one of the most liberating connections two people can hold between each other when it is authentic and sincere. Many find completion and
satisfaction when they find this ideal, true love in another. However, when love is turned into a façade in order to create the image of an perfect,
fulfilling relationship, it can be alienating and destructive. In Walker Percey's essay, The Man on the Train, he claims that love is ultimately a source of
alienation instead of an escape into wonderful satisfaction. This theory is exemplified in Frank Capra's It Happened One Night, a story of a woman,
Ellie, on a journey to fill her void of true love and escape her feelings of alienation. only exacerbates her sense of alienation instead of ... Show more

In terms of the movie, rotation takes place as Ellie finds herself falling in love with Peter. She enters the "privileged zone of possibility" (91),
which is the motel room, the bus ride, and the hitchhiking. These zones identify the possibilities of love, but fail to solve the despair of
everydayness. In other words this coping strategy of alienation does not succeed because Ellie will ultimately become bored. As her pursuit to find
and marry King Westley draws near, Ellie almost immediately becomes uninterested in King Westley, and instead she "discovers" her love for Peter
and confesses her love for him in their hotel room. This leads to Ellie leaving her groom at the altar and chasing after Peter and a new life. Once her
love for Peter too becomes old, Ellie will continue this cycle of rotation.
Rotation is a good diversion from alienation, for it brings excitement and newness, but only for an instant. Although the conclusion of "It Happened
One Night" depicts a happy ending, it is a façade that will not last. Not only because it is an unauthentic deliverance from alienation, but also
because the hope of rotation brings anguish. Percy explains this as "his alienated art of rotation instead of healing him catches him up in a spiral of

When I run over the frightful catalogue of my sins, I cannot believe that I am the same creature whose thoughts were once filled with sublime and
transcendent visions of the beauty and the majesty of goodness. But it is even so; the fallen angel becomes a malignant devil. Yet even that enemy of
God and man had friends and associates in his desolation; I am alone." (Shelley,189). In Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein two characters are alienated
from the rest of the world; one by choice and one on which alienation is imposed upon. Mary Shelley shows through these characters many things
that still occur in today's society. In Frankenstein people didn't even get to know the creature but because of its outward appearance it was
automatically assumed that he was a threat. The quote, "don't judge a book by its cover," was what you could take from this had the creature not
endured so much hate, and pain from villagers, town people he would've never switched over and became evil. All he wanted was to be accepted,
loved and treated like he belonged someplace but that's the opposite in which he received. Had he not been rejected by so many people and alienated

several functions in addition to legislation"(Lawlor, Crandol,2013). The senate is refereed as the sober second thought in terms of legislation review
but the second thought is rarely concerning the western provinces. Western alienation is caused by regional misrepresentation which is mainly caused
by the senate. According to Lawlor, some provincial governments have challenged the unilateral approach by the senate to restructure itself. However
the Supreme Court Of Canada will consider a reference case on the constitutional status of senate reform in November 2013. This means that the senate
may be reformed this year, the western provinces would prefer a senate that can represent their interests. The senate may need a reform in order to

The Importance Of The Zone Of Proximal Development
One of the most prevailing aspects of Vygotsky's sociocultural theory is what he named the zone of proximal development. Vygotsky defined the zone
of proximal development as "[t]he area of development into which a child can be led in the course of interaction with a more competent partner, either
adult or peer. [It] is not some clear–cut space that exists independently of joint activity itself. Rather, it is the difference between what the child can
accomplish independently and what he or she can achieve in conjunction with another, more competent person. The zone is thus created in the course
of social interaction" (Vyogtsky FIND PAGE NUMBER). SEE MIND IN SOCIETY IN LIBRARY Thezone of proximal development, known as the
ZPD, is the place in which a child benefits the most from exposure to an activity or task. This is because "...children's cognitive abilities increase
through exposure of information that is new enough to be intriguing, but not too difficult for the child to contend with" (Feldman 228–229). Within this
zone, children are able to perform some of, but not all of, the task independently. With the help of someone with more capable, they are able to
complete the task. In this way, children are able to increase understanding and learn new tasks while avoiding frustration and defeat, meanwhile
building confidence.

Alienation And Marx
The passage above is written by Karl Heinrich Marx. Marx was born May 5, 1818, Trier, Rhine province, Prussia (Germany) and died on March 14,
1883 in London, England (Oxford University Press). During his life Marx was known best as a revolutionary, sociologist, historian, and economist who
wrote the Manifesto of the Communist Party. Marx lived through the industrial revolution which helped to shape his philosophy towards his theories of
alienation, the labour theory of value, and his philosophy that production is the base of society. As a historian and economist, Marx gained the notion
that throughout time people have continually been oppressed by a group of oppressors. Marx disliked the capitalist culture and shaped his vision of
socialism ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The first aspect to cover is Marx's own idea of alienation. The concept of alienation is when people feel that the world has become foreign to them.
This connects to this passage as some of the groups of oppressed feel alienated as they no longer work to live but live to work, resulting in a class
revolution. A classic example is the Winnipeg Riots where the workers felt that they were no longer living a life for themselves but for their work
which resulted in them raising up against their oppressors. Being alienated, these workers had no say in what they were doing as well as being
restricted from all forms of creativity within their jobs which resulted in a heavily oppressed group. As well as alienation, Marx's concept of the
labour theory of value plays a major role in why the oppressed revolt. The labour theory of value argues that the economic value of a good or
service is determined solely by the total amount labour and effort required to produce it (usually in terms of time). This relates to the above
passage as Marx used this concept to support his theory that capitalism exploits the labourers of society. He asks if the theory is true then does that
not mean all profits of a product should go directly to the labourer (oppressed) instead of going through the boss (oppressor) first. Lastly, Marx
believes that production is what society revolves around with systems such as education and religion being more superfluous and only a means of
legitimization for production. This connects to the above passage as all groups of oppressors are the 'bosses' who manipulate the oppressed through
their work and means to a living. Capitalists use their ideology to convince the masses that this is the best way to live, this way the oppressed don't

This implies that man forms and develop himself by working, it is man's nature to be in control of the process, to be the initiator, the subject in which
the process originates. This nature according to Marx has however become alien to man, that is, it is no longer his thing. To this Marx opines that
"Alienation is apparent ... in the fact that everything is something other than mind, and that ... an inhuman power rules over everything6. What is
central to this is that man has lost control by his own evolution. This control is thus controlled by different other entities. For instance looking around
us despite human technological achievements that can we found in our modern society. Even though human can talk about space travel, internet,

Organizational Behaviour (Busi 2733 X2)
March 5th, 2015
Organizational Behavior is "a field of study devoted to understanding, explaining, and ultimately improving the attitudes and behaviours of individuals
and groups in organizations" (Colquitt, LePine, & Wesson, 2013, p. 7). One way in which we can understand an individual's behaviour in an
organization is by researching why workers may feel alienated on the job. Kai Erickson, an American sociologist who studied workers in the
workplace, once said "Alienation, then, is disconnection, separation–––the process by which human ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
287). In other words, the organization in which a worker belongs leaves them feeling worthless, insecure, useless and empty .It may even leave them
feeling aggravated and inadequate of actually making a difference in the product that they are making. Erickson explained why this happens by
stating "For one thing, people can be said to be alienated when they lose contact with the product of their own labour" (Erickson, 1986, p. 2). In Fact
,these feelings may become apparent when workers are given tedious tasks to perform with no rewards or consideration to how they feel. For
example, the following excerpt relates the personal experience of Xu Lizhi an employee of Foxann Company that produces I–phones in China:
"Even the machine is nodding off ,Sealed workshops store diseased iron ,Wages concealed behind curtains , Like the love that young workers bury
at the bottom of their hearts ,With no time for expression, emotion crumbles into dust they have stomachs forged of iron Full of thick acid, sulphuric
and nitric Industry captures their tears before they have the chance to fall Time flows by, their heads lost in fog Output weighs down their age, pain
works overtime day and night In their lives, dizziness before their time is latent The jig forces the skin to peel And while it 's at it, plates on a layer
of aluminum alloy Some still endure, while others are taken by illness I am dozing between them, guarding The last graveyard of our youth." (Lizhi,
2015)

Human Alienation

  • 1. Human Alienation The extinction of experience is the loss of interaction to nature, the "decline in spontaneous outdoor activities." Human beings as mentions in the article are engaging less in activities in nature, our focus has shifted dramatically toward the urbanized cities filled with technology and non–nature related pursuits. As of now the majority of the world's population are indeed living in a forest, but it is a concrete jungle with high rises, air pollution, congestion and so on. 2. What contributes to the alienation (detachment, isolation) of people to the natural world? The contribution to the alienation of people to the natural world are numerous. According to the author, "Several possible triggers have been identified, such as rapid growth...of people living in urban areas; technological advancements and the emergence of sedentary pastimes such as watching television, playing computer games, and using the internet; and the over scheduling and micromanagement o children's lives. The truth is unfortunately saddening because one can witness such a phenomena with a brief walk in the downtown district areas, a tour of mega malls, down the hallway of schools, and even at home. People in the 21th century are glued to their phones or other devices; there are even terms to described them including phone zombies, digital zombies, etc. If people are not using their phones they entertain themselves with constant quote or quote reality television shows, or the fancy news anchor rewriting news report to fit their agenda. 3. What are the consequences of a loss of engagement with nature? The consequences of the detachment from nature are just as many when compared to the causes to isolating ourselves from nature. In the bolded letters above the introduction, the authors stated, "The loss of interaction with nature not only diminishes a wide range of benefits relating to health and well–being, but also discourages positive emotions, attitudes, and behavior with regard to the environment, implying a cycle of disaffection toward nature." As an example of the drawback of detaching from nature, "Nathan and St Antoine (1993) [described] 'children's very ability to perceive the environment may be diminished by the replacement of ...

  • 2. Alienation In Frankenstein In her novel Frankenstein, Mary Shelley explores a wide range of themes concerning human nature through the thoughts and actions of two main characters and a host of others. Two themes are at the heart of the story, the most important being creation, but emphasis is also placed on alienation from society. These two themes are relevant even in today's society as technology brings us ever closer to Frankenstein's fictional achievement. First, let's examine the alienation from society suffered by Frankenstein's monster. The cause of his ostracism was his horrificphysical appearance. It was so bad that people would not even allow him the chance to speak or get to know the person ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... And when Frankenstein rejected him, he sought to make Victor an empathizer by killing those whom he loved. Perhaps less than revenge, the monster only wanted someone to know what it is like to be alone and denied love. This brings us the theme of creation, which really contains smaller 'sub–themes.' There is the relationship between the creator and his creation as well as the question of whether or not the created owes his allegiance to society. What should the relationship between Victor and the monster have been? In Shelley's criticism of all who were disgusted by his looks, Victor would be in the wrong for having shunned the monster. It was his fault the monster existed, so he should have taken it in and shown it compassion. As the creator, he owes his creation the basic means to a happy life. As for the monster, in turn for his creator's gift of life and happiness, he would pledge loyalty. But because Frankenstein dropped his end of the contract from the start, all bets were off and the monster tried to be as diplomatic as possible about the whole affair. This goes back to the alienation theme starting with Victor's abandoning of the monster. What about the monster's role in society? As a man's creation, did the monster owe any debt to society or have a right to be part of it? He did not choose to be born into it, but he was forced to seek refuge in the world upon ...

  • 3. Zone Of Proximal Development Paper 1) The Zone of Proximal Development. Please add two examples applying this concept to schooling. The Zone of Proximal Development is where the skill set taught to the child is much higher than the child's skill set. It also refers to the ability of children to master a task either on their own or with help. It describes the difficulty of a task ranging from a kid who gets it right away to someone who could not master the task without several weeks of assistance. Vygotsky felt that the child's current sociocultural environment played a strong role in how well they learned and language plays a strong role in shaping their thoughts. He also felt that the teacher should guide the student and that other students should be used as part of the teaching ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Actually right now, I want to think aloud, but the fact that my husband is in the other room, means I cannot. Because of that of that, I will edit and go over this tomorrow when he is not here. I believe private speech is an important aspect of learning in all stages of development. Try to watch yourself when you are trying to solve a difficult problem and I beat you think aloud. It is not just for young children. When you are writing a paper, reading the paper aloud is the best way to proofread your paper. I also like thinking quietly since I can think faster than I can talk, so often times I will do silent thinking. 3) Vygotsky and education. How important is education and what is the primary school teacher's role? Education is very important and the primary teacher's role plays a large part in how well a child learns. She should be a guide to the students and not be a dictator. Meaning she show them how to do things in a step–by–step process so they can eventually perform these task on their own. Early education sets the stage for learning in later years and is a very important aspect of child development. 4) Do you think Piaget's theory or Vygotsky's theory would be more helpful in teaching? Explain and add several examples. Both have theories that are helpful when teaching young children new ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 4. Alienation In The Misanthrope According to Florencia, the play "The Misanthrope" is very contemporary because the story revolves around the feeling of rejection towards society and almost everything that surrounds it. Also, she added the subsequent isolation that a person feels. It happens all the time. People tend to hate the people around them yet, they can't stand that deep loneliness they find. People will have different perceptions why they would experience such situation. Some would believe that they are indeed cursed or have been hit by karma and then kind of give up, accepting that miserable existence. They might accept it until they find that special someone that dislikes that side of the world, too. That "What! You too? I thought that no one but myself..." moment. Or they die alone, whatever comes first. No matter the time or place, some people feel like outcasts, and that brings the issue of alienation. "Other people" would start to look at them like the personification of abnormality. Like human beings that just hate humanity for the hell of it. Like misanthropes. Moreover, Florencia said that the book was an insightful play about the essence of human nature, our virtues and flaws. MoliГЁre brilliantly portrayed the hypocrisy of its time through Alceste, the protagonist. A man with a profound existential conflict... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... If you are an honest, decent person it's very difficult not to be a misanthrope. He said misanthropy was not his choice, it was a simple, natural response to the way most people are, or at least seem to be. The author have seen and experienced too much selfishness, egotism, narcissism, megalomania, phoniness, duplicity, nastiness and just pure downright evil in people for them to be even remotely likeable. And he don't use the term "evil" in the religious sense, but as an accurate descriptor of the malice which seems to reside within a great many ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 5. Alienation Theory How is it in the year 2017, we are still considering there isn't a class structure in Australia? There are so many examples occurring in our everyday life such as, where one person is living geographically could justify their wealth or where someone went to school could justify how intelligent this person is. But with these examples, it seems like it is an invisible factor that we have become accustomed or prone to these types of justifications. Verity Archer a writer in the book "Sociologic: Analysing Everything life and culture" said "we all think were in the middle –class wise, this belief is a core part of our national identity" . This is similar to what I am trying to explain, that we all think we're on the same level, however, we're all on an imaginary level of various class–structures . Two sociologists Karl Max (1818–1883) and Erik Olin Wright (1947) had two similar but different views on the way our society is classed and how their theories are adapting in our everyday lives, with the privileged minority of Australia to reinforce ongoing inequality to the working–class. The aim of this essay is to see how in today's reality, the theories of Max and Wright are adapted into our workforce, education and family structures. We get an insight in what the theories are trying to explain? And the differences between the two theories... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...

  • 6. Essay about Parental Alienation Syndrome Parental Alienation Syndrome is defined as a syndrome where one parent (usually the custodial parent) alienates the child or children from the other parent. A child psychiatrist organized this syndrome by the name of Richard Gardner. The fact that Parental Alienation Syndrome is used in custody litigations makes it a very controversial issue. The syndrome tends to target one parent and favor the other, sometimes leaving the child in compromising situations. Also, Gardner's 'syndrome' lacks scientific background and is seen as nothing more than a theory by many other professionals. Parental Alienation Syndrome should not be considered in court custody battles, as it is nothing more than an inadequate theory. Parental ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... PAS often helps to mask child abuse allegations in court cases. As soon as a child brings any allegations to court, Gardner immediately turns to PAS and blames the other parent for brainwashing their children into making allegation against the father. He believes that ninety percent of abuse allegations in court cases are false. With PAS being brought to a case, a child often ends up with a parent who has previously been accused or even convicted of abuse. For example, in Salt Lake City, Utah, the Jensen couple was going through a custody battle after their divorce. Mr. Jensen was listed in Utah's Child Abuse/Neglect database. He also had nine different experts testify that he did indeed have abuse problems, including his six–year old daughter's pediatrician. With all of his abuse background, Mr. Jensen should never be awarded custody of a child let alone visitations right? Well, he did. When PAS was brought into the courtroom, he targeted Mrs. Jensen and made her look like the bad person by saying she forced their daughter to make false allegations on him. With the 'help' of Gardner's PAS, an innocent child is now in full custody of her father, an abuser, with only one visit each month with hermother. PAS has several effects on a child's psychological state of mind of a child. Being deprived of two healthy parents is definitely ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...
  • 7. Alienation Alienation is a concept that describes an isolated and separated circumstance in the workplace. Browne (2011:380) notes "Alienation is the condition where workers have no job satisfaction or fulfillment from their work". Alienation could cause some severe consequences. In 2010, thirteen employees, who worked for a Chinese company–Foxconn, committed suicided. (BBC) In this case, it is possible that the suicide event is due to that Foxconn is the assembly line of Apple, which means it is technology employed. Mitra (2010:11) points out that as the technology becomes more sophisticated, the level of alienation, which results from technology, becomes higher. The main purpose of this essay is to examine how far the complexity of the technology... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The data of questionnaire showed that printers had a low level of alienation, which means they were satisfied with their jobs and were non–alienated workers. (Haralambos, 2004) This might be due to that printing–craft, needed a high level of skill by using hand, and abilities of creativity and judgment. Thus, printers had the sense of responsibility of the whole process of the production. (Browne, 2011) Moreover, printers could move around and talk to others when they are working, which means they had not undergone self–estrangement from their work. (Haralambos, 2004) The second industry to be analysed was textiles–machine–tending industry. The data indicated that the level of alienation was much higher than printing industry. It seems due to the technology that was applied in the textiles industry. The degree of powerlessness, social isolation and self–estrangement were high, because there were supervisors to control and manage them. The level of meaninglessness also was high, because the workers were not taking part in all of the process of the production.

James Rinehart explores this in his book "The Tyranny of Work," where he ponders the recent evolution of labour in relation to the human condition. (Rinehart, 2006) An action which should look to promote personal and communal development now leaves employees alienated in several forms.

After waking up and playing the accordion, the man skips happily into work. But, as the elevator descends we see him become very tired and hunched over. The elevator ride symbolizes the man being overcome by his work. The deeper he goes into the building – which symbolizes his work as a whole – the further he is separated from himself.

Sadly, parental abandonment leaves a child with doubt and uncertainty about the future. Throughout his or her life, this particular child could suffer from lasting questions of self–worth.

Whenever the monster turned to his master for love and comfort, he was turned away with fear. As soon as Frankenstein saw his repulsive countenance, he ran away into the dark of the night. Right away, the monster was denied any form of nurture that could have potentially changed the plot of the novel. After stumbling upon a few unpleasant strangers, the monster only desired acceptance from human society with the help of the cottagers: "The more I saw of them, the greater became my desire to claim their protection and kindness; my heart yearned to be loved and known by these amiable creatures (Shelley, 133)." Some parents such as Victor begin ignoring their children from the very beginning. If kids don't receive nurture from an early age, their personalities are shaped by the way they are treated: "These family disruptions are much more strongly related to feelings of fewer social supports and more negative moods and feelings (Science Blog)." Without guidance from his "father", the monster attempted to make a place for himself into society. The monster's heroic rescue of the little girl illustrates his good heart and innocence; even though his mind was slightly disturbed, all he needed was for someone to reciprocate his love.

  • 11. Marx Alienation Marx's theory on species being and estranged labour. The theory of alienation by Karl Marx describes the act of estrangement of persons beginning from those characteristics of their species–essence in place of a magnitude of existence in a society or community of stratified collective classes. The isolation from oneself is generally as a result of being an automatic part of the communal class (Meszaros, pg 54). Philosophically, this theory depends s upon the essence of Christianity which was described by Ludwig Feuerbach. Marx further extended this theory of Ludwig by stating that even the idea of humanity is also an alienating perception for people to logically deliberate in its complete metaphysical implication (Meszaros, pg 57). In his work of 1844, Marx explained alienation in the following way: In any capitalist society, the isolation of employed workers from their humanity is believed to occur because the only thing that a worker can express is labour (Meszaros, pg 59). This is a significant societal facet of particular eccentricity through a privatised system of industrial production where every employee is considered a thing but not a person. The following are the four types of alienation that normally exist to a worker who is labouring under a capitalist form of industrial production: 1.

  • 15. Alienation In Frankenstein What is alienation? Alienation can be defined as the purposeful isolation of a person from society. The theme of isolation is evident throughout Mary Shelley's Frankenstein. Mary Shelley uses alienation through isolation from society to show Victor's fading state of mind, which reflects that of the homeless in modern society, in order to convey that when one has little to no meaningful contact with the outside world or other people, his or her loved ones will begin to grow further away. Mary Shelley shows the struggles of alienation, as seen in the homeless today, by explaining that Victor suffered from being isolated his entire life.Victor Frankenstein, a man of science, has a goal in life to discover and utilize the source of life. He spends much of his time trying to create life, but he does not recognize the consequences. Because Victor taught himself and his father disliked science, he had to struggle "with a child's blindness, [adding] to [his] thirst for knowledge" (Shelley 38). The phrase, "child's blindness," used to describe Victor's alienation from his loved ones shows that he purposefully isolated himself from his family, in order to show the struggles he had to face to achieve his scientific dreams. He forced himself into isolation as a child in order to learn and become a man of science. The blindness he refers to describes his inability to acknowledge his family due to his dedication to science. Later, Victor decides to study at Ingolstadt. He studies science ...

Considering Bretch's idea of defamiliarisation, the tiger creates a distance through its foreign nature and ambiguity. Thus, the ordinary relationship between the tiger and Fatimah is rendered strange and unexpected due to the dehumanising and oppressive impressions created in the text through their relationship. To view the tiger as majestic, yet an animal, it resonates the dehumanisation of Malaya. Also, from dehumanising description of Fatimah as one of "plump, brown figure, and accentuated the full breasts and womb of a pregnant woman [with] the round, high–cheekboned face, so typical of the Malays" (99), highlights the colonial male gaze in objectifying the Malay woman, where the nuances within racial and gendered oppression is subtly yet strongly emphasised. This calls for the anti–colonial story by Rajaratnam, as the idea of "othering" practiced during the colonial period serves as an acute hindrance for humanity, co–existence and creation of independent Malayan identity. Additionally, the strong parallel between the tiger and Fatimah in their immersion in the natural world is significant in highlighting the value of compassion and humanity for peaceful co–existence.

Another crime that Winston committed leading to more alienation was his affair with Julia. Having sexual relationships with another person was frowned upon by the "Party". This was not an actually law, but these values were encouraged by the anti–sex league. The "Party" believed that having sexual relations would develop feelings, which were seen to be illegal. Winston did have a hatred for the opposite sex, "He disliked nearly all women, and especially the young and pretty ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers–out of unorthodoxy." (Orwell) Winston was attracted to Julia who was an exception to his hatred and they ended up rebelling against the "Party's" value. Because of their secret relationship, he started to develop feelings for Julia, which causes him to become even more alienated.

An example of this is present when Vladek is made aware of the way Jews were being treated by the Germans, "It was many, many such stories – synagogues burned, Jews beaten with no reason, whole towns pushing out all Jews – each story worse than the other."

  • 21. Marx 's Views On Labor Alienation And Its Effects On Humanity Karl Marx stands out among other famous philosophers of the 19th century. He founded proactive theories, which called for political action as well as social change, rather than mere theoretical study. One of such theories is his theory of alienation found in his work "The Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts" (1844), also known as "The Paris Manuscripts". This theory explains how a capitalist socio–economic regime alienates the worker in four various levels. Marx defines alienation as the absence of meaning or self– realization in one's life (Geras 26). This paper examines Marx's views on labor alienation and its effects on humanity, his criticism of religion and its influences on his rejection ofcapitalism, as well as his concept of the human nature. Among the central concepts of Marx's philosophy is alienated labor. In "Paris Manuscripts" (1844), Marx borrows the concept of alienation from Hegel, who argued that human beings could be out of sync with the world they inhabit (Marx et al. 283). Unlike Hegel, Marx narrows down the scope by limiting alienation along the confines of labor. In the latter's view, alienation occurs from the way people validate their work. In Marx's theory of alienation, he states that fundamental to the human identity and life is the process of production; transforming nature into things that satisfy an individual's needs (Geras 30).

In Walker Percey's essay, The Man on the Train, he claims that love is ultimately a source of alienation instead of an escape into wonderful satisfaction.

She enters the "privileged zone of possibility" (91), which is the motel room, the bus ride, and the hitchhiking. These zones identify the possibilities of love, but fail to solve the despair of everydayness. In other words this coping strategy of alienation does not succeed because Ellie will ultimately become bored. As her pursuit to find and marry King Westley draws near, Ellie almost immediately becomes uninterested in King Westley, and instead she "discovers" her love for Peter and confesses her love for him in their hotel room. This leads to Ellie leaving her groom at the altar and chasing after Peter and a new life. Once her love for Peter too becomes old, Ellie will continue this cycle of rotation. Rotation is a good diversion from alienation, for it brings excitement and newness, but only for an instant.

When an individual in society goes out of the typical social life, they are considered alienated or isolated. In Frankenstein, Mary Shelley creates many examples of alienation and isolation. Frankenstein is the story of how Victor Frankenstein makes a creature come alive. Victor leaves his family, studies passionately for a long while, and eventually creates a monster. The creature scares Victor as soon as it is created and Victor quickly runs away from it. After being deserted, the monster is furiated and plots revenge against Victor, which includes killing those close to Victor. Walton, the monster, and Victor are all alienated by themselves or others, which creates problems for their lives.

Grete takes care of her brother because she wants to show her ability as a family member: she is an adult now and can make contributions to her family. She does not want to be like Gregor; she wants to get admire from her parents, and get rid of becoming alienation. Gregor thinks "he remained intimate with his sister alone"(28). He also thinks about his secret plan, which is sending his sister to study at the Conservatorium(28). But Grete is the first one who betrays her brother: "We must get rid of it"(35).

When The Gleason family gives the Namioka family raw celery, they had no idea how to eat it considering they never ate raw celery. They began to rip off the long strings from the stalk creating a zip sound calling the attention of the other attendees at the party. Quickly, the family becomes quiet after noticing the silence of the other families and they begin to feel different and separate from everyone else.

  • 32. The Importance Of The Zone Of Proximal Development One of the most prevailing aspects of Vygotsky's sociocultural theory is what he named the zone of proximal development. Vygotsky defined the zone of proximal development as "[t]he area of development into which a child can be led in the course of interaction with a more competent partner, either adult or peer. [It] is not some clear–cut space that exists independently of joint activity itself. Rather, it is the difference between what the child can accomplish independently and what he or she can achieve in conjunction with another, more competent person. The zone is thus created in the course of social interaction" (Vyogtsky FIND PAGE NUMBER). SEE MIND IN SOCIETY IN LIBRARY Thezone of proximal development, known as the ZPD, is the place in which a child benefits the most from exposure to an activity or task. This is because "...children's cognitive abilities increase through exposure of information that is new enough to be intriguing, but not too difficult for the child to contend with" (Feldman 228–229). Within this zone, children are able to perform some of, but not all of, the task independently. With the help of someone with more capable, they are able to complete the task. In this way, children are able to increase understanding and learn new tasks while avoiding frustration and defeat, meanwhile building confidence.

In contrast to the pig the worker's clothes are painted dirty and unclear brush work has been used. This brings a sense of self–estrangement to the picture, as the worker doesn't care about his work otherwise the clothes will be clean. "Capitalism and Alienation" by Danielle Pioli is much like "Enter Without So Much As Knocking" by Bruce Dawe. They both show that alienation is caused by external forces and both shows that these types of alienation, powerlessness and meaninglessness are mainly caused by society how it values money. The third text is a short film called "Be My Brother" by Geneueve Clay. The alienation present in this film, like the other texts, is caused by external forces. In contrast to the two texts, the film show the cause of this alienation is a stereotypical point of view towards the main character Richard. This causes Richard to be socially alienated throughout the film. There are also signs of cultural estrangement and family alienation. In the establishing shot, alienation is created through the main character Richard. This is shown through the many camera techniques, such as close up of hand as gun and how it follows up Richards arm to his face, which has distinct Down syndrome features.

These words from poet Krusty Aranda lament the causes and effects of the isolation of the human mind. From society's standards to its moral compass, societal influence has the power to brand non–conformists and outside thinkers as simply the "outcasts" of society. Alienation is a powerful idea that plays a vital role in character development and plot. One's self–segregation form society can reveal much about the beliefs and values of both sides.

One of the most popular lines from the play, "To be or not to be, that is the question, Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer ... To die– to sleep ... and by a sleep to say we end" (##), is a prime example of existentialism. The theme of existentialism is oftentimes accompanied by the theme of alienation because existentialists believe that the human mind is individual and lonely in relation to the outside world, and in Hamlet's case, he has to choose between life or death in response to the events around him. Throughout the play, Hamlet is isolated by events around him: his father's murder, complex schemes of espionage, and the betrayal of his mother. With no one to help him, Hamlet is alienated philosophically, and is forced to find meaning within himself (hence, all the soliloquies), and it's clear that, throughout the story, there is no philosophical mentor he can seek advice from.

  • 35. Alienation And Marx The passage above is written by Karl Heinrich Marx. Marx was born May 5, 1818, Trier, Rhine province, Prussia (Germany) and died on March 14, 1883 in London, England (Oxford University Press). During his life Marx was known best as a revolutionary, sociologist, historian, and economist who wrote the Manifesto of the Communist Party. Marx lived through the industrial revolution which helped to shape his philosophy towards his theories of alienation, the labour theory of value, and his philosophy that production is the base of society. As a historian and economist, Marx gained the notion that throughout time people have continually been oppressed by a group of oppressors. Marx disliked the capitalist culture and shaped his vision of socialism ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... The first aspect to cover is Marx's own idea of alienation. The concept of alienation is when people feel that the world has become foreign to them. This connects to this passage as some of the groups of oppressed feel alienated as they no longer work to live but live to work, resulting in a class revolution. A classic example is the Winnipeg Riots where the workers felt that they were no longer living a life for themselves but for their work which resulted in them raising up against their oppressors. Being alienated, these workers had no say in what they were doing as well as being restricted from all forms of creativity within their jobs which resulted in a heavily oppressed group. As well as alienation, Marx's concept of the labour theory of value plays a major role in why the oppressed revolt. The labour theory of value argues that the economic value of a good or service is determined solely by the total amount labour and effort required to produce it (usually in terms of time). This relates to the above passage as Marx used this concept to support his theory that capitalism exploits the labourers of society. He asks if the theory is true then does that not mean all profits of a product should go directly to the labourer (oppressed) instead of going through the boss (oppressor) first. Lastly, Marx believes that production is what society revolves around with systems such as education and religion being more superfluous and only a means of legitimization for production. This connects to the above passage as all groups of oppressors are the 'bosses' who manipulate the oppressed through their work and means to a living. Capitalists use their ideology to convince the masses that this is the best way to live, this way the oppressed don't realise that they're being exploited and ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

The reasoning behind my choice is that these two films have explicit characteristics in the frame of alienation. Both highlight modern alienation in terms of alienated sexuality, isolation, normlessness whereas Newell discusses alienation also in class and gender difference perspective; Boyle discusses alienation in the working place as an alienated labour.

This implies that man forms and develop himself by working, it is man's nature to be in control of the process, to be the initiator, the subject in which the process originates. This nature according to Marx has however become alien to man, that is, it is no longer his thing. To this Marx opines that "Alienation is apparent ... in the fact that everything is something other than mind, and that ... an inhuman power rules over everything6. What is central to this is that man has lost control by his own evolution. This control is thus controlled by different other entities. For instance looking around us despite human technological achievements that can we found in our modern society. Even though human can talk about space travel, internet, weapon of mass destruction, yet human being is feeling so helpless in the face of things it created. Never before have the fruits of our labour threatened our very existence as it is now: this is also the age of nuclear disasters: global warming, arms race and machines taking the place of man in the work force. Even though man can produce enough to satisfy the needs of everyone on the planet, yet larger part of the world's population are stunted by poverty and destroyed by disease.

In other words, the organization in which a worker belongs leaves them feeling worthless, insecure, useless and empty .It may even leave them feeling aggravated and inadequate of actually making a difference in the product that they are making. Erickson explained why this happens by stating "For one thing, people can be said to be alienated when they lose contact with the product of their own labour" (Erickson, 1986, p. 2). In Fact ,these feelings may become apparent when workers are given tedious tasks to perform with no rewards or consideration to how they feel. For example, the following excerpt relates the personal experience of Xu Lizhi an employee of Foxann Company that produces I–phones in China: "Even the machine is nodding off ,Sealed workshops store diseased iron ,Wages concealed behind curtains , Like the love that young workers bury at the bottom of their hearts ,With no time for expression, emotion crumbles into dust they have stomachs forged of iron Full of thick acid, sulphuric and nitric Industry captures their tears before they have the chance to fall Time flows by, their heads lost in fog Output weighs down their age, pain works overtime day and night In their lives, dizziness before their time is latent The jig forces the skin to peel And while it 's at it, plates on a layer of aluminum alloy Some still endure, while others are taken by illness I am dozing between them, guarding The last graveyard of our youth."
