justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">The concept of Alienation developed by\u00a0Karl Marx\u00a0describes the isolating, dehumanizing, and disenchanting effects of working within a capitalist system of production. Per Marx, its cause is the economic system itself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Social alienation is a more broad concept used by sociologists to describe the experience of individuals or groups that feel disconnected from the values,\u00a0norms, practices, and social relations of their community or society for a variety of social structural reasons, including and in addition to the economy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Those experiencing social alienation do not share the common, mainstream values of society, are not well integrated into society, its groups and institutions, and are socially isolated from the mainstream.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Marxs_Theory_of_Alienation\"><\/span><span style=\"background-color: #ffffff; font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>Marx&#8217;s Theory of Alienation<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Karl Marx&#8217;s\u00a0theory of alienation was central to his critique of\u00a0industrial capitalism\u00a0and the\u00a0class-stratified social system\u00a0that both resulted from it and supported it.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">The way Marx used the term and wrote about the concept shifted as he grew and developed as an intellectual, but the version of the term that is most frequently associated with Marx and taught within sociology is of the alienation of workers within a capitalist system of production.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>According to Marx,<\/strong> the organization of the capitalist system of production, which features a wealthy class of owners and managers who purchase labor from workers for wages, creates the alienation of the entire working class. This arrangement leads to four distinct ways in which workers are alienated.<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">They are alienated from the product they make because it is designed and directed by others, and because it earns a profit for the capitalist, and not the worker, through the wage-labor agreement.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">They are alienated from the production work itself, which is entirely directed by someone else, highly specific in nature, repetitive, and creatively unrewarding. Further, it is work that they do only because they need the wage for survival.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">They are alienated from their true inner self, desires, and the pursuit of happiness by the demands placed on them by the socio-economic structure, and by their conversion into an object by the capitalist mode of production, which views and treats them not as human subjects but as replaceable elements of a system of production.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">They are alienated from other workers by a system of production which pits them against each other in a competition to sell their labor for the lowest possible value. This form of alienation serves to prevent workers from seeing and understanding their shared experiences and problems\u2014it\u00a0fosters a false consciousness\u00a0and prevents the development of a class consciousness.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">While Marx&#8217;s observations and theories were based on the early industrial capitalism of the 19th century, his theory of the alienation of workers holds true today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Sociologists who study the\u00a0conditions of labor under global capitalism\u00a0find that the conditions that cause alienation and the experience of it have actually intensified and worsened.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Broader_Theory_of_Social_Alienation\"><\/span><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\"><strong>The Broader Theory of Social Alienation<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-25855 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/The-Broader-Theory-of-Social-Alienation-1024x391.png\" alt=\"The Broader Theory of Social Alienation by Vikash Ranjan sir at Triumph IAS, UPSC Sociology\u00a0Optional\" width=\"1024\" height=\"391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/The-Broader-Theory-of-Social-Alienation-1024x391.png 1024w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/The-Broader-Theory-of-Social-Alienation-300x115.png 300w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/The-Broader-Theory-of-Social-Alienation-150x57.png 150w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/The-Broader-Theory-of-Social-Alienation-768x293.png 768w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/The-Broader-Theory-of-Social-Alienation-1536x587.png 1536w, https:\/\/triumphias.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/The-Broader-Theory-of-Social-Alienation-2048x782.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif;\">Sociologist Melvin Seeman provided a robust definition of social alienation in a paper published in 1959, titled &#8220;On the Meaning of Alienation.&#8221; The five features he attributed to social alienation hold true today in how sociologists study this phenomenon.
