WHAT I PLAN ON CONTRIBUTING TO THIS ARTICLE:

Untitled

I plan on adding a more concrete definition to the term self-estrangement. Also, I plan on adding how it contributes to Marx's theory of alienation and how it is an aspect of alienation in general. Also, I plan to go into what Seeman has to say about self-estrangement and how it is one of the dimensions he studied in alienation. Also, I will contribute how self-estrangement acts in certain age groups or places or things and how it effects a person's life. Next, i will contribute how to fix self-estrangement. I also will contribute more reliable sources.

THE SOURCES I PLAN ON USING:

Draft

Self-estrangement is the idea spoken by Karl Marx and Melvin Seeman(1959) in Marx's theory of alienation and is a part of Seeman's five logically distinct psychological states that encompasses alientation.[3] As spoken by Marx, self-estrangement is "the alienation of man’s essence, man’s loss of objectivity and his loss of realness as self-discovery, manifestation of his nature, objectification and realization."[2]Self-estrangement is when a person feels alienated from others and society as a whole.This is where a person is first alienated from the products of labour (i.e. alienation from the things that we buy in stores or produce in factories or offices). A person might then be alienated from the process of work, which is an alienation from creativity. Following this, self-estrangement can be defined when a person may feel alienated from themselves as a result of these previous two circumstances. Self-estrangement also effects people's feelings others and themselves making them feel alienated from all aspects of their lives.

Effects of Self-estrangement

Self-estrangement even though it is a small factor, still contributes to alienation ,which contributes strongly to burnout at work.Asanc382 (talk) 18:39, 17 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Peer Review

Great topic! Very interesting and I was exciting to read more about it. The overall article is well written except for minor grammatical errors. The first sentence is a bit confusing, but other than that the rest of the article is exceptionally interesting. I like how in depth you go when discussing how self-estrangement results in alienation. The last sentence in the first paragraph needs to be cited for your viewers and what they can relate your topics to. Subsections are great to add when going into further detail on your page. Overall great topic and how your constructed it. Mwydl001 (talk) 22:23, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Section headings

Hi, just wanted to put a note down about the Manual of Style (specifically MOS:HEAD): section headings "should not refer redundantly to the subject of the article, or to higher-level headings unless doing so is shorter or clearer". I would not object if the former Sociologists section heading is restored, but I've removed the repetition of the title in the rest. Me, Myself & I (☮) (talk) 00:39, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]
