* BILL CLEMENTE: The A, B, C’s of Alienation and Re-Integration : Merle Hodge’S Crick Crack Monkey .These episodes where Tee is made to be surrounded by the people of Trinidad are made to contrast with the isolation and the loneliness which Tee is made to feel at her Aunt Beatrice’s place: “these scenes set up a contrast to the loneliness the narrator-protagonists will experience once removed from their original environment and placed into a Western or Western-aspiring one.Such alienations are experienced in conditions of mental exile within one’s own culture to which, given one’s education, one un-belongs.” (62) Tee has received an education and a western culture which is very much unlike the culture of Tantie and which in a way makes...

Western culture’s paradoxical expectations of close relationships in a lonely world only causes more suffering and further loneliness.Humankind is “continually struggling to escape the solipsistic prison of … painful alienation, … the agonizing pain of loneliness, and its gnawing, saddening, and terrifying effects” (as cited in Rokach).As Western society becomes more technologically advanced, social isolation is magnified proportionally.Loneliness is a defining factor in the technologically-advanced and selfish Western world.Western culture is to blame for the increasing levels of social isolation among the population.

Webers’s therefore describes religion as the core process which brought to capitalism development in Western Europe.He bases his work on the question :”Why did Capitalism begin in Western Europe rather than Asia?”.This blasé theory finds similarities with Marx theory of alienation.This shift in ownership from the individual producer to a single individual (boss) who controls the production creates the alienation of the worker.Marx theory of alienation is also useful in understanding capitalism development, indeed the increased rationalization brought by capitalism had a strong influence in workers alienation and in a increase of productivity in exchange for a loss in creativity and lead to the development of a mass production mass consum...

The concept of the “East” was therefore manufactured intellectually by Western European nations, a manifestation of alienation due to the proximity to and exchange with non-European countries.To the cynic, however, the remarkably slow process of integration and Western Europe’s modern policies smack of the prejudiced perceptions of old.All this developed despite the military action of nations such as Austria and Spain preventing the further advances of forces such as the Turks and the Moors, arguably leaving the remainder of Europe in the peace required to become “enlightened.” Such alienation, Woolf argues, gradually pushed Eastern Europe indirectly, lumping its association in such a way that Eastern Europe became an intermediary betwee...

Word count: 1641 .It also questions, who are the terrorists?The treatment of these creatures is allegorical to that of illegal immigrants and refugees which are effectively quarantined by western governments, showing how these aliens can be considered a signifying symbol of a societal concern about immigration.These anxieties are two key referents, visualised by the aliens.Fig 4: A shot from the film Monsters (2010) of the huge wall which has been constructed by the US government on the border between the USA and Mexico to prevent alien invasion from the south.

Despite this impossibility, alien citizenship has affected the Asian immigrants in the U.S. because of racial identity.Therefore, the alien citizen is typically an “impossible subject”.Disparate from immigrants who have the liberty to settle, absorb, and become citizens of the US, the alien lacks the rights of legitimate assimilation as well as citizenship.On the other hand, one cannot be considered as an alien after becoming a citizen.a quota system that limited number of immigrants from all over the globe except the Western Hemisphere whilst generating an illegitimate immigration from Mexico.

If the process of labour which is in our innate essence becomes alien to us, then we may become alien to ourselves in some way.According to Marx’s Alienation Theory, there are four forms of alienation in labour, the first being alienation from the product of work.Marx’s second form of alienation is alienation from the activity of work.And with 360 degree feedback becoming the norm in the Western workplace, workers can comment on their managers’ performance too which gives them a sense of control over their working conditions and allows their voices to be heard.I will principally be looking at his Alienation Theory, which was his belief that our labour in society developed different forms of alienation, and how, if at all, this determines...

Sarosh managed to adopt most of Western culture but he could not go to the bathroom without ‘squatting’.Unfortunately this attempt backfires because the individual is so influenced by western culture that he is caught in total displacement from both cultures.Each morning he seated himself to push and grunt, grunt and push.” This caused him great anxiety and the complete, unaltered Canadian identity that he longed for was elusive.Nariman had returned to Mumbai India but the influence of Western culture was manifested in his behaviours.Thus he uses his failed attempts to use the western toilet as a sign of his Inability to integrate.

Likewise, these countries have proved that cultural distinctiveness does not affect modernization in the first place but rather enhances sophistication by utilizing their natural resources and abilities.Obviously, western interventions had brought significant contribution in the political and social transformation of these countries, yet their cultural identity remained as they were before.In case of Korea, modernization was attained while being under the colony of Japan, which include infrastructure and health development (Myong Soo Cha).The resistance and alienation to Western imperialism has made them gained global respect especially as they began to take advantage of economic opportunities created by their own initiatives and creativ...
