The Oxford dictionary defines alienation as; to estrange, isolate,
detach, distance, to put a distance, to turn away from another person.
Alienation, like a lot of other social attitudes and concepts, can give a
wide variety of interests. I have found six main points in The Encyclopedia
of Psychiatry, Psychology, and Psychoanalysis that have gotten the most
attention and things written about alienation; A) Powerlessness: The feeling,
belief, or expectancy that a persons behavior can't control some events
whether positive or negative, B) Meaninglessness: The person feels
incomprehensive in his/her social life and feels the "absurdity of life", C)
Normlessness: High expectancies for, or commitment to socially unapproved
ways to achieving a goal, one will go about achieving a goal in a not
normally excepted way, D) Cultural Estrangement: person's individual values
rejected by society, the image that the alienated value's not being standard
to that of the environment around him/her, E) Social Isolation: The
individuals low expectancy for inclusion and social exceptance, being lonely
and commonly found a member of a minority or physically disabled, F) Self
Estrangement: This focuses on the discrepancy or differences between one's
ideal self and one's actual self.
In the novel, The Metamorphosis, Gregor wakes up one morning as a giant
insect and feels out of place. When Gregor sees his father and his attitude
to him, Gregor feels alienated in that fact that his father yells and shows
his anger and frustration to his son and throws an apple which gets stuck in
his slimy backside. His father feels Gregor has not become successful and a
failure. He probably also feels that he has let his sister down along with
his mother for not being supportive enough as the father was not.
Continuing with the same concept of Mr. Samsa not being a good father,
Gregor felt alienated again by his mother and sister by not filling in the
father role while his father was out or doing whatever. His mom and sister
took things out of his room and the only thing left was a picture of a woman
who he probably felt was the only thing close to him. His boss surely wasn't
and his family was sure not there either.

I ensure goals I set I reach them and as I reach them I take my goals on the next step which is higher than the last one.
Setting goals requires understanding where one is, where one wants to be, and a course on how to get there. As stated in the text, when drafting goals, they should be “realistic and attainable,” “improve the organization,” everyone should have a voice in the “goal-setting process,” and “a program should be developed to achieve each goal.” (Clark, 1997) While listing lofty goals may make one feel good, if said goal has no quantitative way form of measurement, and cannot be realistically attained, the goal will never be reached. Unrealistic and immeasurable goals will not produce results. Instead, one will become mired down...

Theme of Alienation in Literature A common theme among the works of Nathaniel Hawthorne is alienation. Alienation is defined as emotional isolation or dissociation from others. In Hawthorne's novels and short stories, characters are consistently alienated and experience isolation from society. These characters are separated from their loved ones both physically and psychologically.

What is depression? According Emily Dotterer, “Having depression is like being in abusive relationship with yourself.” Depression is a mood disorder that effects people in both physical and mental ways. Just as Brenda Sue Hagen stated, “It’s like someone unplugged you from the socket of feelings.” The disorder does not just effect the one who is depressed but it also effects their friends and family. It is a mood disorder that causes an ongoing feeling of sadness and/or loss of interest. “Depression is an inability to feel anything.” If one is depressed then they may not experience pleasure, they may have feelings of guilt and low self-esteem. When someone is depressed they go through many different phases. No longer being able to

As people grow up, they begin to form personal ambitions, whether they are in a future career, losing a certain amount of weight, vacationing to a new place, passing an exam, or even planning to buy a home they wish to own one day. When a person is seriously adamant in accomplishing their ambitions; they become goals. Goals are a personal set of achievements, which an individual wishes to succeed in. Some take more time to accomplish, because they require more work and another may not. In order to completely accomplish a goal, a person must have determination, have a caring support system, and learn from their own downfalls.
