The client is identified as Kevin, a 14-year-old male from Honduras. Kevin left his family in the Honduras to create a new life for himself in the United States of America. He has made it clear to the therapist that this is anything but a selfish move, he is seeking work in the United States so that he will be able to send money home to his mother. Kevin is optimistic about his travels and would like to make enough money in the United States to buy his mother a home. Kevin was working long hours shining shoes for tips and his mother sells empanadas on the streets making just five dollars a day. On Kevin’s first attempt to travel to the United States he reportedly gave himself up, was placed in a Texas shelter and later returned home. On Kevin’s …show more content…
This conflict is called Group Identity versus Alienation. In the United States it is expected that the parent takes care of the child and fully provide for them until at least the age of 16. In Kevin’s case, he grew up in a society where is acceptable for children to work and be self-reliant unlike the United States. The therapist speculates that Kevin favors individuality and alienation even though he has strong ties to his mother. Kevin is leaving his main social group, his family, in search of work in the United States. Although Kevin has become a part of this social group while traveling from one country to the next he is less worried about connection and identifying with this group and more worried on the end result. Since Kevin has been able to maneuver this far through the formal operational stage, his reasoning has helped him reflect on his social relationships within this group. He realizes that he in fact is a part of this group but this is temporary. From what has been brought to the attention of the therapist about Kevin is seems that he lacks social support in forms outside of his mother. Through the abuse of his stepfather and the abandonment from his biological father, Kevin is experiencing parental rejection. Although he knows he can count on his mother, the male figures in his life have shown him otherwise. This may be causing Kevin to feel like he does not belong. One example of Kevin choosing individuality is when he got into a small argument with his friend Frito over a piece of bread. Kevin refused to share the bread with his friend and when the argument escalated Kevin took off with three men he did not know. This shows the Kevin does not feel the connection with the group that he viewed to belong to and is not able to recognize his bond with his friend Frito. His culture has played a

“The Validity of Restraints on Alienation in an Oil and Gas lease” explains whether the new clause in oil and gas lease should me made enforceable or not. Under the existing law when landowners are approached by the companies offering for oil and gas lease, landowners make an assumptions that they have prevent their unwanted transfers of lease interest, however it is still unclear under existing laws. “The reasons that privately-imposed restraints on alienation are sometimes invalidated simply do not apply to a restraint within an oil and gas lease.

Award-winning author Marcus Sedgwick stated, “A story has its purpose and its path. It must be told correctly for it to be understood”. It is true; stories tend to have a purpose for their creation. They have a tale to tell. They craft the human mythology and shape the way the world views itself. That is not to say that there is only one way to write a story. The art of writing has been known to span mediums and styles. Elie Wiesel wrote Night as an autobiographical memoir about his experience surviving in a Nazi prison camp. Art Spiegelman wrote and illustrated the graphic novel Maus which retells his father’s life as a Jew during the Holocaust. The Metamorphosis is a fictional novella penned
In We, members of the One State are completely alienated from a crucial part of the human experience. Without emotion, imagination, and other “irrational” elements there is very little that truly constitutes these citizens as human. Beyond the wall built by the One State lies the wilderness and its free tribes, which embody and represent this forbidden, irrational side of humanity. With this wall, the individuals of the One State are physically and symbolically separated from their wild, natural state. D-530 faces extreme alienation throughout the entirety of the novel. The emergence of his irrational side upon first meeting I-330 causes him to become increasingly alienated from himself, as he is feeling things he does not understand or associate
In the words of Marx, Objectification is the practice of alienation. Just as man, so long as he is engrossed in religion, can only objectify his essence by an alien and fantastic being; so under the sway of egoistic need, he can only affirm himself and produce objects in practice by subordinating his products and his own activity to the domination of an alien entity, and by attributing to them the significance of an alien entity, namely money" (Bhushan, Sachdeva and marx 2012/1844).
Firstly, they illustrate that social conformity creates alienation in society through the technique of setting. The first setting is a long high wall at the beach where the boy discovers the lost object. This wall is built to hinder The Lost Thing from immigrating to the city. The Lost Thing becomes a desolate and isolated article. By doing this, it emphasizes weird people in isolation from citizens. The second setting is a crowded city which lacks vegetation. All the houses and means of transport covered dark color are in the same design, which highlights this article’s loneliness and the city’s boring life. Also, this helps audiences assume a real world in the near future. In addition to these sites, a Department of Odds and Ends where unique
and his or her acquaintances comprises a low-density network (one in which many of the possible relational lines are absent) whereas the set consisting of the same individual and his or her close friends will be densely knit (many of the possible lines are present). The overall social structural picture suggested by this argument can be seen by considering the situation of some arbitrarily selected individual-call him Ego. Ego will have a collection of close friends, most of whom are in touch with one another-a densely knit clump of social structure. Moreover, Ego will have a collection of acquaintances, few of whom know one another. Each of these acquaintances, however, is likely to have close friends in his own right and therefore to be enmeshed
Correspondingly, Abnegation is being alienated due to Jeanine, from Erudite wanting to get rid of the weak ones and not have to deal with them. Abnegation is aliened when they are being pushed around closer to the end of the movie when dauntless is under a serum that controls them. Abnegation does not have a lot of belongings because of the limit that the “government” puts on them. They are located some ways out of the city and where they live where they sleep in a military style housing. A conversation in which this alienation can be seen is between Tris and fellow dauntless classmates and newbies Christina, Will, and Al. The conversation embodies how alienated has affected abnegation compared to the rest of the factions it goes
If Charlie thus represents the human condition in modern times, we see him basically as a helpless and handcuffed individual being--locked into and dominated by a world of machines, lead around by management authorities and bureaucratic institutions, victimized by an economy over which he does not have the slightest control, and deprived of any coherent understanding of the world in which he and everyone else is trying to secure some sort of happiness. As imaginative and endearing as he is as a battered and struggling individual, he lacks what should be the essence of an authentic existence: informed deliberation and active self-determination. In light of the Enlightenment idea of active, strong, and self-determined individuals, The Tramp in “Modern Times” represents a failure, a defeat. The enormous popularity of Chaplin’s figure may well find its explanation in the deep truth expressed in the laughable adventures of Charlie: the longing to live a life worthy of human beings, and the apparent impossibility of finding such contentment in work, life, happiness under modern conditions of control and
Even though abnegation is being alienated, they take care of factionless due to them being “public servants.” As Kant states in his categorical imperative which is a part of Kant’s deontology “First act only accordingly to the maximum by which you can act at the same time will it become a universal law. Secondly act so that you treat humanity whether in your own person to that of another, always as an end and never as a means only.” Kant stating this puts into the perspective that abnegation was only doing their duty of taking care of the factionless. As Tris puts it at the beginning of the movie “We (abnegation) lead a simple life, selfless, dedicated to helping others” Although abnegation is taking care of the factionless and making sure
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
