Alienated Labour- Karl Marx
Reflection Paper On:
Alienated Labour by Karl Marx
The 19th century German, Karl Marx presents the alienation of labour in one of his many works. He explains aspects such as the man from the product of man’s labor, in the process of production, of man as species-being and of man and man. When I think of alienation, I think of when First Nations people first were alienated by the residential school system and the affects its caused to the labor abilities of Aboriginal peoples of Canada.
All these aspects, the main point of alienation is the man, and it’s in activity of labor. But the occurrence doesn’t change; the main point is what changes are done to understand it. Marx also looks at another type of alienated focus, that of the no-worker, who has its own characteristic types. In this sense, alienation is not high-class of the worker, but of course it is important. In society that is the process of alienation that has stretched from the process of consumption by process of production. The process does affect not only the worker and the no-worker, but also the consumer, by the means of generating alienated needs.
Most interesting to me was the aspect is alienation of man from man. A direct consequence of man’s alienation from the product of his work, from his reality and from his ones-existence, is the alienation of man from man, the statement that man is alienated from his ones-existence means that one man is alienated from other man sets an example that Aboriginal peoples were alienated by Residential school system. In addition: “ The alienation of man and in general of every relationship in which man stands to himself is first realized and expressed in the relationship with man stands to other men”(pg.20)
In large part, Canadian history, all people who have had the experience of feeling alienated or apart from their selves and their community. First Nations people are particularly prone to alienation, because they are the one people who have been
