Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

Alienation refers to an individual's feeling of powerlessness and estrangement

from other people and from oneself. Marx specifically linked alienation to

social relations that are inherent in capitalism; however, more recent social

thinkers have expanded his ideas to include social psychological feelings of

powerlessness, meaninglessness, and isolation. These may be present

because people experience social injustice and vast economic inequalities in

contemporary societies. Because people do not feel strong social ties with

other individuals they are not led to bond together for joint action. Rather than

coming together for social action, we often express our individual frustrations

on social networks.
